TAKATA RECALL AND AUDI INFORMED ME ONE YEAR AGO BUT NO RESPONSE FROM AUDI DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN FEBRUARY AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER FROM NHTSA OR AUDI. WHEN WILL THERE BE A SOLUTION TO THIS? MY WIFE RECEIVED A CALL FROM OUR AUDI DEALER YESTERDAY DURING WHICH THEY SAID THAT THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE CASE. DOESN'T AUDI HAVE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT? I HAVE NO INTEREST IN PURCHASING A NEW CAR WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT COMPENSATION FOR ITS COST.
