TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V382000 (AIR BAGS).

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM AUDI REGARDING THE RECALL ON MY TAKATA PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL AND SUGGESTING THAT I AVOID USING MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM APPALLED THAT AUDI WOULD MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT KNOWING THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS USE THE VEHICLES AS FAMILY CARS, TYPICALLY HAVING SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AUDI HAS NO FORESEEN DATE OF REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE GIRL I SPOKE TO ON THE PHONE FROM AUDI SUGGESTED THAT I CALL A LOCAL CERTIFIED AUDI DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF I CAN GET A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR, IN WHICH I WAS TOLD BY OVER 10 DEALERSHIPS THAT THEY DO NOT GIVE OUT LOANER CARS FOR THIS PURPOSE. I AM SHOCKED THAT I AM NOT BEING OFFERED A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL... NO FIX DATE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS RECALL IS PRECAUTIONARY.

TAKATA RECALL -I FIND THIS EXTREMELY DISTURBING THAT A RISK AS THE RECALL STATES "IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, IN VERY RARE CASES METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." THE PART THAT I FIND DISTURBING IS THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND NO LOANER CARS ARE BEING PROVIDED NOR AN ALTERNATIVE OTHER THAN THE RECOMMENDATION OF NOT HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE VEHICLE.I HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR, AND IT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED BY AUDI DEALERSHIP.IT SEEMS UNJUST THAT NO MATTER HOW GOOD I HAVE CARED FOR AND PUT INTO MY VEHICLE, IT IS STILL AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNSAFE?I AM NOT IN A POSITION WHERE I CAN HOLD OFF ON CARRYING ANY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT. I AM A MOTHER OF 2 ( A 15 YEAR OLD AND 7 YEAR OLD) AND I ALSO SHARE CARPOOL WITH ANOTHER PARENT WHERE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE MY FRONT SEAT. BESIDES THAT, I DO NOT THINK IT IS RIGHT FOR AUDI TO SUGGEST HOW TO USE THEIR CAR THAT THEY HAVE INVESTED IN WITHOUT A FAIR ACCOMMODATION. I DO NOT HAVE AN "EXTRA" CAR THAT I CAN DRIVE AROUND AS AN ALTERNATE AND EVEN IF I DID, HOW FAIR WOULD IT BE FOR AUDI TO ASK ME NOT TO DRIVE IT, IF I PLAN TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, OR HOW FAIR IS IT FOR ME TO ASK MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT?! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I PLAN TO BE COMPENSATED. AUDI SHOULD HOPE THAT NOTHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO ANYONE. I HAD PLANS FOR MY DAUGHTER TO TAKE OVER THIS CAR. SHE WILL BE 16 SOON AND HAS BEEN LEARNING TO DRIVE IN THIS AUDI, AND NOW I MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT CAR FOR HER BECAUSE THIS AUDI IS UNSAFE. MIGHT I ADD, I MAY EVEN HAVE TO HOLD OFF TEACHING HER TO DRIVE UNDER HER CA. DRIVER'S PERMIT BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT? THIS IS RIDICULOUS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU AFFECT PEOPLE'S LIVES, AS LONG AS AUDI KEEPS MAKING MONEY.
