Takata recall: I am still waiting for the second repair to be made on my vehicle regarding this recall. I truly don't feel safe driving my car knowing there is a possibility of the airbag exploding harmful objects into my face in the case of an accident. I am repeatedly being told the manufacturer has not produced the parts for my local audi dealership to finish the repair work. I'm wondering what the hold up is, and what I can do as a driver to protect myself in the meantime? Is there a timeline that manufacturers have to complete recall services, and if so, when is that time up? How is this acceptable?

Takata recall. Waiting on replacement parts for a year, and after receiving 4 reminders from audi USA. Ellis audi in atlanta advised to call audi USA, audi USA said parts are a local dealer issue, and was surprised dealer transferred my call to audi USA. Dealer said vehicle is a criteria 6 on scale of 1-11, with 1-3 being critical. But could not explain meaning of this. Said takata is the problem.

Takata recall. I received a notice from audi, saying that my car a3 2007 needed to have the airbags replaced. I called audi manhattan, to begin to schedule an appointment. They said they did not have the parts in stock but would get back to me. They could not have been less interested. They haven't called me back they don't take this seriously, quite possibly because my car is 10 years old. Nonetheless, it is my life and my passengers' lives that are put at risk by this approach.
I live on the island of kauai. Audie of america will not let me take it to a dealer other than audi to have this problem fixed. There are no audi or volks. Dealers on kauai. They will not pay to have my car shipped to ohau to fix the air bag at the dealership there what am I supposed to do?
Takata recall I was first notified of this recall in february of 2016. It has been over a year and I have been driving around with a potentially lethal defect. I received a letter from audi in april with an update on how to address this defect, but when I called my local dealer they indicated that parts may not be available for months. This is very unsettling. Safety is such a concern for this issue, that other manufacturers have gone as far as to provide their customers with a rental car until a fix is available, yet audi has not offered this service.

Takata recall. Audi is unable to repair, replace, refund or repurchase my vehicle. This is affecting my ability to drive to work because I can not drive a car I don't feel safe driving in. Having a family member or a client on the passenger seat is not an option because it is dangerous. On december 2016 I asked audi of america to repair the airbag but they couldn't because they don't have the parts; consequently, I requested audi of america to buy the car back from me to which they answered the following: 'we sincerely apologize that audi of america is unable to meet your expectation for a vehicle repurchase, we would like to inform you that the vehicle airbag will be repaired per the federal safety agency. At this time, we do not have a specific time frame available additionally, because the federal safety agency will have oversight regarding the repair schedule for vehicles affected by this recall, parts allocation will be managed as per the agency requirements.for additional details, please visit the following link we understand that this is not the information you are seeking, however this is the information available at this time. Audi of america will replace the affected airbags at no cost to our customers.' - audi of america (march 2017) audi will not buy the car back, and they are forwarding me to the federal safety agency to replace the takata psdi-5 driver frontal airbag. Please let me know what steps I should take to resolve this problem. Thank you sincerely.
Takata recall! Please replace my airbag and provide me with a loaner vehicle immediately. I have an infant and refuse to put her or my loved ones at risk due to the negligence of the manufacturer. Contact me at once to resolve this! For the date, I've selected the day I bought the car, so I have been driving around in an unsafe vehicle with loves ones for over 10 years now. This is unacceptable!!!!!
Takata recall it's been almost 1 year since they recall was acknowledged by audi and they are still unable to provide a fix for my car.
Air bag recall taking too long. They keep saying that a repair is not yet available.
Takata recall I am unable to obtain any definitive information from the nearest dealer regarding when an airbag replacement can be done. The dealerships state that they do not have a loaner program. What can a consumer do to expedite a resolution to this matter?
Takata recall.I have had no information from audi since the initial notice in april. My car will be 10 years old this coming april. According to news media there is suppose to be some priority status set based on age and location but I can not find what my priority is. Given the lack of action I would like my priority number or approval to disconnect this safety hazard!
Takata recall. No repair to this issue is available nor can I be given an estimate of the time frame involved from audi of america. Yet other manufacturers such as honda are already making the repairs. This is a complete outrage. If something happens to myself or family who is accountable for this issue?
Takata recall has not been responded to with actionable options.

Takata recall I received a safety recall notice from audi, a 69n2 notice stating that "takata has reported that the driver frontal airbag inflator could potentially rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the frontal airbags are designed to deploy. In the event of an inflator rupute, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants." I called audi USA today and was told that they currently have no repair program available to deal with this problem, they could not even provide an expected date for the repair to be available, and that loaner programs are not available nationally and it would be unlikely that my local dealer would be able to loan me a vehicle until such time as my car is repaired to a safe driving condition. This is clearly completely unacceptable so I would like to make a formal complaint against audi. All I am requesting is the vehicle is repaired and if it cannot be repaired that I am provided with a safe car to drive in the interim period. I feel you need to be aware of the position audi are taking in not providing remedy to such a lethal problem as I am left truly shocked at their lack of concern for the safety of their customers.
Takata recall - notice has been received of takata driver's airbag recall, but no parts available for recall. I cannot safely drive my car now if the airbag may explode and kill me! I have been driving a potential death trap and am very afraid.
