2010 AUDI Q5 Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (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 VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN IT WOULD ARRIVE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT RECALL THAT DID NOT INCLUDE OUR CAR THAT CAUSED CORROSION IN THE PANELING OF THE CAR FROM THE MOON ROOF AND IT WAS POSSIBLY CAUSING AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED AND THEY HAVE EXPLAINED TO US THAT THERE IS EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CORROSION IN THE PANELS OF THE CAR AND ALSO THE CORROSION AND WATER LEAKAGE HAS DESTROYED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF OUR BACKUP CAMERA/SYSTEM. WE ARE WONDERING IF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BY OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH OUR CAR'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL I AM REFERRING TO, IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT MY CAR HAS THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES. THERE IS NOT AN EXACT DATE ATTACHED TO THESE ISSUES BECAUSE IT MUST HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE ONLY REASON WE KNOW OF THE CORROSION IS BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE CRASHED INTO OUR CAR AND THEY HAD TO FIX THE DAMAGE. IN DOING SO THEY DISCOVERED THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF CORROSION AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE REASONING/CAUSE BEHIND IT.

TAKATA RECALL, DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE SAFETY HAZARD. ISSUE #2 FUEL FUMES FILLING THE CAR AS YOU ARE DRIVING AND THIS IS AFTER THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY FIXED IT BY PUTTING A PATCH ON THE GAS TANK FLANGE, WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL + WATER INSIDE CAR: AUDI IS NOT FIXING THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE, ANYTIME I ASK ABOUT IT TO DEALER, THEY ARE JUST SAYING, THEY DONT HAVE ANY FIX YET AND THEY DONT KNOW WHEN FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WAS TRYING TO TRADE MY CAR SO I CAN BUY NEW ONE BUT DUE TO THIS ISSUE, NO ONE GIVING ITS REAL VALUE. RECENTLY THIS CAR ALSO FLOODED WITH WATER DUE TO THEIR INTERNAL PIPE BUSTED AND I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND SEE THEY HAD ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE MODELS AND THEY RECALLED BUT THIS MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED AND I END UP SPENDING ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACT DATE SO JUST PUTTING LAST YEAR'S DATE BELOW.

TAKATA RECALL, MY AUDI HAS THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL. THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DEPLOY AND KILL PEOPLE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH AUDI AND MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO THEM OF HOW UPSET I AM AND THEY COULD CARE LESS. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE AUDI DRIVERS WERE MADE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY RECALL. AUDI HAS GIVEN NO SOLUTION TO THEIR DRIVERS AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR DRIVERS. I WAS TOLD OVER THE SUMMER THE PART WOULD BE REPAIRED BY FALL. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY AND SPOKE TO SOMEONE TODAY WHO SAID THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHEN IT WILL BE IN AND MY ONLY OPTION IS TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR. THIS OFFER IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON NEW CARS!! WHAT A SCAM!! FORCE CLIENTS TO TRADE IN THEIR CAR, NOT GETTING FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE TRADE, AND SPEND MORE MONEY ALL SO WE CAN BE SAFE!!! I HAVE NOW READ AN ARTICLE THAT STATES THESE RECALLS MAY NOT ALL BE REPLACED TILL 2020!! I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS IN A CAR THAT IS ESSENTIALLY A DEATH TRAP!! WE ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF THIS CAR WHICH SHOULD SELL FOR 10K OVER WHAT A DEALERSHIP WILL EVEN TOUCH IT FOR ON TRADE IN. IT HAS BEEN WELL OVER THE REASONABLE TIME FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL. DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY BACK THESE CARS AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AND DEAL WITH IT!!! IT WOULD BE A LOT CHEAPER THEN THE NUMEROUS LAW SUITS THAT WILL HAPPEN IF I GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR SOMEONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!! THEY ARE OFFERING ZERO HELP TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR SELVES!! THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2004 AND THESE DISGUSTING COMPANIES ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK IS DISGRACEFUL!! THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND I AM DEMANDING A SOLUTION!! BUY BACK MY CAR OR FIX IT WITHIN 1 MONTH!! DON'T GAMBLE WITH THE LIVES OF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!
