"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL 2016 OF THE RECALL BY AUDI OF AMERICA. AS OF TODAY, OCT. 3, 2016 I WAS TOLD THAT THEY STILL HAVE NO TIMELINE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, POTENTIALLY FATAL, IT IS MIND BOGGLING THAT 6MONTHS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION.

TAKATA RECALL - WE GOT A RECALL BACK IN APRIL ABOUT THE AIR BAG AND WHEN WE CALLED AUDI, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NO REMEDY PLANNED AS THEY WERE NOT HAVING ANECDOTAL PROBLEMS REPORTED. THEN JUST LAST WEEK, WE MISSED OUT ON A "SWEET DEAL" FROM AUDI TO HAVE OUR AIR BAG REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAD TOLD SOUTH ORLANDO AUDI TO CALL CUSTOMERS AND REPLACE THE FIRST FIVE AIR BAGS OF THE OWNERS WHO RESPONDED. WHEN WE FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE "SWEET DEAL" WAS GONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT WE ARE FURIOUS THAT OUR AIR BAG WAS NOT ONE OF THE ONES TO BE REPLACED. LIVING IN FLORIDA, I FEEL AS IF WE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH A SHRAPNEL GRENADE FOR AN AIRBAG JUST INCHES FROM OUR FACE. WE HAVE EVEN CALLED A LAWYER AND THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN HELPING US EITHER PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE WAITING FOR US TO GET HURT BY THE AIRBAG SO THEY CAN GET MORE MONEY. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FORCE AUDI TO REPLACE OUR AIRBAG?

2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN JUST A FEW DAYS. I WANT TO START DOCUMENTING EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS PULLING INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE CAR HESITATED PUTTING ME INTO THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AT 50 MPH. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS ACCELERATING TRYING TO REACH 50 MPH COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED ONLY GOING ABOUT 10 MPH.

FROM A STOPPED POSITION ON A SIDE STREET IN A LEFT HAND TURN LANE I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE THEN IMMEDIATELY HAD A LOSS OF POWER IN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A MAJOR STREET. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD THEN HESITATED. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN SURPRISE PEOPLE AND CAUSE CARS TO CRASH INTO ME. IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW OTHER TIMES. I FEEL GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
