2005 AUDI A4 Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V032000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AUDI DANBURY (25 SUGAR HOLLOW RD, DANBURY, CT 06810 (203) 744-5202) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CASE WAS OPENED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE FIRST NOTIFIED IN MARCH, 2017 OF THE FRONTAL AIRBAG RECALL. THE LETTER FROM AUDI AT THAT TIME ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT AND FOR THAT REASON THE CAR HAS REMAINED IN THE GARAGE SINCE THAT TIME. AUDI INITIALLY ADVISED PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER. I HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL AND TIMING OF PART REPLACEMENT IS UNKNOWN. I HAVE A $35,000 CAR WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT IS UN-USABLE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A "CUSTOMER ADVOCATE" AT AUDI USA AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM AS WELL. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL-AS OF TODAY, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL OR REMEDY INFORMATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL. I HAVE CALLED THE AUDI RECALL LINE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION. WHEN I HAVE ASKED WHEN I CAN EXPECT THE REPAIR TO BE READY, I AM TOLD THAT PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY'LL SEND ME A LETTER AT SOME POINT. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL IN THE LEAST. I HAVE NOT ALLOWED ANYONE TO RIDE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, AND THIS TIME DELAY IS VERGING ON RIDICULOUS!

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016, AND AM STILL WAITING FOR NOTICE OF PARTS AVAILABILITY

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME ABOUT THE RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO. DESPITE MY CAR BEING IN ZONE A (CA) AND 12 YEARS OLD (ADDITIONAL RISK FACTOR) THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION FROM AUDI. CALLS TO A FEW AUDI DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT REVEAL THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED AUDI A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY INSIST THAT REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I SHOULD CONTACT NHTSA BECAUSE YOU MANAGE THE SCHEDULE. SINCE WE HAVE CHILD SEAT IN THE BACK AND THE PASSENGER SEAT IS UNSAFE THE CAR IS UNUSABLE FOR US AS A FAMILY; WHEN WE TRAVEL I HAVE TO RENT A CAR. AT THE SAME TIME I CANNOT SELL IT WITH A PENDING RECALL.
