2007 AUDI A3 Complaints

AIR BAG RECALL TAKING TOO LONG. THEY KEEP SAYING THAT A REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I AM UNABLE TO OBTAIN ANY DEFINITIVE INFORMATION FROM THE NEAREST DEALER REGARDING WHEN AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT CAN BE DONE. THE DEALERSHIPS STATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A LOANER PROGRAM. WHAT CAN A CONSUMER DO TO EXPEDITE A RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER?

TAKATA RECALL.I HAVE HAD NO INFORMATION FROM AUDI SINCE THE INITIAL NOTICE IN APRIL. MY CAR WILL BE 10 YEARS OLD THIS COMING APRIL. ACCORDING TO NEWS MEDIA THERE IS SUPPOSE TO BE SOME PRIORITY STATUS SET BASED ON AGE AND LOCATION BUT I CAN NOT FIND WHAT MY PRIORITY IS. GIVEN THE LACK OF ACTION I WOULD LIKE MY PRIORITY NUMBER OR APPROVAL TO DISCONNECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD!

TAKATA RECALL. NO REPAIR TO THIS ISSUE IS AVAILABLE NOR CAN I BE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF THE TIME FRAME INVOLVED FROM AUDI OF AMERICA. YET OTHER MANUFACTURERS SUCH AS HONDA ARE ALREADY MAKING THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A COMPLETE OUTRAGE. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR FAMILY WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 AUDI A3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V079000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM AUDI, A 69N2 NOTICE STATING THAT "TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPUTE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I CALLED AUDI USA TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE NO REPAIR PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT EVEN PROVIDE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR THE REPAIR TO BE AVAILABLE, AND THAT LOANER PROGRAMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE NATIONALLY AND IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY THAT MY LOCAL DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO LOAN ME A VEHICLE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS MY CAR IS REPAIRED TO A SAFE DRIVING CONDITION. THIS IS CLEARLY COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST AUDI. ALL I AM REQUESTING IS THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND IF IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED THAT I AM PROVIDED WITH A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM PERIOD. I FEEL YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE POSITION AUDI ARE TAKING IN NOT PROVIDING REMEDY TO SUCH A LETHAL PROBLEM AS I AM LEFT TRULY SHOCKED AT THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL - NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED OF TAKATA DRIVER'S AIRBAG RECALL, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR RECALL. I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR NOW IF THE AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE AND KILL ME! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP AND AM VERY AFRAID.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR SO I WAS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC AND STRUGGLED TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER TODAY I HAD TWO BAD COILS AND THE MEGATRONIC WHICH CONTROLLED THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT. I HEARD 2006 MODELS HAD A RECALL ON THE MEGATRONIC BUT NOT 2007. I CANT BELIEVE I NEED TO SPEND $2500 ON ANEW MEGATRONIC FOR A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES AND I SPENT 4290 TODAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC, PLUGS, AND COILS. THE PREVIOUS 2002 AUDI A4 I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE COILS BUT THEY EVENTUALLY ISSUED THE CAMPAIGN AND REIMBURSED ME FOR THE COILS. *TR

SENSE OF DELAY IN SHIFTING GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM NOT MOVING TO MOVING, SPEEDING UP, OR SLOWING DOWN. *TR

2007 AUDI A3 DSG ISSUES. MY TRANSMISSION HAS VERY HARD SHIFTING ON OCCASION. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. ALSO AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET STUCK IN BETWEEN SHIFTS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. IT HAS A LOSS OF POWER FOR 10- 20 SECONDS. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING AS THERE IS NO POWER AT ALL. I AM WORRIED THAT AT SOME POINT IT MAY STAY THIS WAY LONGER, DISABLING THE CAR COMPLETELY. I NOW ALSO HAVE AN EXTREMELY LOUD RATTLE COMING FOR THE TRANSMISSION AREA. I BELIEVE THE HARD SHIFTING HAS CAUSED THE FLYWHEEL TO START FAILING. *TR
