Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Takata recall. I have scheduled with my local audi dealer two times to have this airbag recall replacement completed, and both times, they have called me to inform me that they a) do not have the parts, and b) do not know when they will get them. This happened again for the second time today, 11/14/2018 with royal motors san francisco. According to https://vinrcl. These parts were expected to be available in april of this year. It is now mid-november, 7 months late. This is unacceptable for a safety item such as this. Why aren't the parts available, and why don't they know when they will be?? Until then, I'll be continuing to drive this potentially dangerous vehicle.
"takata recall" - I have been getting notices for a year and still can't get this work performed. I have contacted (800) 253-2834 and they still haven't gotten back to me. Nhsta campaign number: 16v079000. Fuel tank ventilation valve the federal safety agency campain number: 09v37700 never got notice on this recall till I went on your site. I need to know if audi will ever get these parts/service centers to fix it. Of course it costs money for them - seems like its just lip service. Can't get a service center willing to perform this work; no parts. Feels like service is blaming parts and visa versa. This is not acceptable. Whats the point of a recall if nothing is ever going to be fixed? So far no accident has occurred requiring as it relates to these recalls. Does the govt./audi only want to see additional accidents before they get these done. From the date below - certainly feels this is what you want.
Takata recall I have called the audi dealer to get my defective airbag replaced in june. I have made repeated calls to see when I can have this replaced. The dealer advised they only receive the parts intermittently and will advise us when we are next on the list for replacement. It is october and still have not received replacement. This is my main car for daily use.

I live in kauai, hi. There is no audi dealer. They refuse to send someone over from oahu to fix the airbags. They want me to pay $500 for shipping and be without my car for 2 weeks, in addition there are now 2 airbag recalls one of which they have no fix for and its been 1 year. Meanwhile I am still driving the car and it is very dangerous. I have spent hours on the phone with them and they refuse to solve this issue.
Takata recall my car is subject to a takata recall that audi announced in january 2018 (final remedy recall for takata airbags) ; I receive periodic postcards from audi on the recall- which instruct me to contact an audi dealer and get the recall remedied asap. However, I have called every washington dc area audi dealer every months since january and they refuse to do the recall repair. Most say the parts are not available. I have emailed and spoken to audi USA, since the audi website says parts are available and my car can be fixed - nothing says the truth, which is that dealers don't have the parts to do the recalls. Audi USA just apologizes but refuses to provide any information or correct/update their websites certainly false state,nets that this recall can currently be repaired. I'm writing this complaint hoping that the federal safety agency can take some action to encourage a more reasonable response on this recall from audi.
