I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 2016. WHEN I FOUND OUT IT HAS AIRBAG PROBLEMS I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT AUDI DID NOT HAVE REMEDY TO FIX THE AIRBAGS ON OCTOBER 2016. I HAD AN OPEN HEART SURGERY IN 2013 AND DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE WITH DEFECTED AIRBAGS WAS NOT AN OPTION. I TRADED THIS VEHICLE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND LOST MY TRADE IN VALUE OF $9000.SOMEONE HAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND I THINK IF DEALERSHIP CANNOT RECOUP MY LOSS OF $9000, THAN AUDI SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY LOSS. I WAS COULDN'T TAKE A CHANCE TO DRIVE IN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND WAIT TILL NOW TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. I WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT THE TIME OF SALE THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FROM MANUFACTURER TO FIX AIRBAGS IN 10/2016. I HAVE MY INITIAL CONTRACT FOR VEHICLE PURCHASE. I DO NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION ANY LONGER AND TRADED IN ON ANOTHER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE (69N1) IN APRIL 2016 AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT SINCE. I'VE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 17 MONTHS AND EACH TIME THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE AND CANNOT REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL - WE ARE FIRST-TIME PARENTS AND HAD INFANT TWIN BOYS. WE HAD BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MORE ROOM AND SAFETY AND THEN THE RECALL HAPPENED. WE ASKED OUR DEALER REPEATEDLY FOR A FIX AND EVEN CONTACTED AUDI USA BUT THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. WE HAD FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WITH OTHER CAR BRANDS WHOSE DEALERS GAVE THEM LOANERS OR RENTAL CARS BUT AUDI OFFERED US NOTHING. ULTIMATELY, WE TRADED IN THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE SO WORRIED.

TAKATA RECALL. I CALLED AUDI OF PRINCETON NJ AND THEY INFORM ME THE PARTS ARE BACKORDERED, WITH NO IDEA OF THE ETA. THIS IS CONCERNING GIVEN THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE DUE TO PROPELLANT DEGRADATION.
