TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 AUDI A6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V385000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, 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 FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS DEFECT WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2016. THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AND THE DEFECT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED TO PUT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT RISK OF INJURY FROM METAL SHARDS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. THE EXCESSIVE DELAY IN PROVIDING A FIX IS UNSATISFACTORY AND SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED PROBABLY 9-10 MONTHS AGO THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG OF MY CAR AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANY PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY DEALERS THAT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS PERIOD OF TIME SEEMS PRETTY CRAZY TO ME AS THE NOTICE SAID THAT IF IT DEPLOYS IT COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL , I RECEIVED A LETTER FOR REPAIR FOR MY CAR IN EARLY 2016, BUT THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING TAKATA HAS NOT SENT THE PART TO THEM, JACK INGRAM MOTORS MONTGOMERY, AL AND IM AFRAID MY CAR IS NOT SAFE.

KEY NOT WORKING. CAN'T START CAR AT ALL OR PUT IN NEUTRAL. KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY CAR. SOME PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROLLER IN A STEERING COLUMN. DEALER WANTS $2000+ TO REPLACE AND FIX. MANY PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. AUDI SHOULD PAY AND NOT THE CONSUMER.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016, WHICH INCLUDED THE ADVICE TO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AS OF JANUARY 23, 2017, THE REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: AUDI SENT RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016 FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, SAID DO NOT USE PASSENGER SEAT, SAID REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILSABLE. ALSO SAID MY VEHICLE AT HIGHEST RISK SINCE PURCHASED AND GARAGED IN MIAMI, FLORIDA, HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY. SIX MONTHS LATER, JANUARY 2017, STILL NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. UNABLE TO SELL VEHICLE UNTIL DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED. AUDI CAN NOT PROVIDE ANY ESTIMATE FOR WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WHAT CAN NHTSA DO TO REQUIRE AUDI TO MAKE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT?

CAN'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A VALID SOLUTION. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, 6 YEARS AGO, IT INDICATED FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS THAT FUNCTIONED. FIND A SOLUTION WITH AUDI FOR THIS PROBLEM. YOU CAN'T EVEN SELL THE CAR.
