MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A POSTCARD TELLING ME THAT MY AUDI WAS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT NO REPLACEMENTS PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. EVER SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY CAR'S FRONT SEAT AND I LIVE IN FEAR THAT THE BAG COULD GO OFF. WHY DO I HAVE TO RISK MY LIFE, AND MY SON'S LIFE, WITH NO END IN SIGHT? I AM NOT WEALTHY. I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO USE THIS CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RESOLUTION? WILL THERE EVER BE ANY, SHORT OF A WORST CASE SCENARIO?

TAKATA RECALL. CAR WAS DOMICILED IN NY FROM 2005-2007, FLORIDA 2007-2012 AND CALIFORNIA 2012-PRESENT. ISSUE IS THE AIRBAG RECALL ON THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE PRIORITIZED FASTER BASED ON THE 5 YEARS IN HOT HUMID FLORIDA AND 2 YEARS IN NY VS CA. SINCE I NOW LIVE IN CA THE AUDI RUSNAK THOUSAND OAKS ADVISED IT HAS A LOWER PRIORITY THEN FLORIDA. REQUEST THE TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS BE SHIPPED SOONER FOR MY CAR TO COMPLETE REPAIRS BASED ON THE YEARS IN FLORIDA.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A POST CARD IN THE MAIL BACK ON 5/27/2016 ABOUT MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BEING DEFECTIVE AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX. MY LIGHT POPPED ON WAY BEFORE I RECEIVED THE POST CARD AND THE ONLY THING THEY CAN SAY IS TRY NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT, THAT IS NOT RIGHT, THIS IS THE FAMILY VEHICLE FOR GOING TO WORK AND TAKING MY TEENAGE SON AND DAUGHTER AROUND TO SCHOOL, ACTIVITIES AND DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FIX, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION EVERYDAY DRIVING AROUND AND I LIVE IN WISCONSIN. *TR

THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE BREAK LIGHT/SIGNAL WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT TENDS WEATHER DEPENDENT. I HAVE READ AUDI FORUMS WHOM HAVE SAID THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT (70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND ABOVE) WILL SHORT CAUSING THE LED BREAK/SIGNAL LIGHT TO NOT WORK. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS ALSO BECAUSE OF A FAULTY "LIGHT CONTROL MODULE + WIRING." DUE TO THE INTERMITTENCY AND HIGH COST OF THE JOB IT HAS NOT BEEN SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIX. I AM AFRAID THAT EVENTUALLY NONE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL WORK OR EVEN AFTER REPAIRING IT, THE SAME ISSUE WILL ARISE. I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN MAY OF 2015, HOWEVER IT WAS FINE THROUGH THE FALL AND WINTER. I AGAIN NOTICED IT RANDOMLY THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS (JUNE-AUG).
