'takata recall' I made appointments and registered to get my airbag replaced on numerous occasions. In june I made an appointment at the elmwood park location and when I got their the guy lied and said the computers are down he didn't want to help me. They have the parts available and don't want to fix it it is now 2018 and no one from audi called me and my vehicle is registered with them. So my air bag can rupture at any time I was in a car accident on 1/4/17 I was intentionally rear ended by a white bmw and I was in the car with my 8 year old nephew and mom who was in the front passenger seat I could have been killed and seriously injured. Not only that my gas tank fuel injector the air pressure is off causing it to stop constantly while getting gas. Third I had this p2005 and p2006 error code which is the intake air exchange manifold flap check engine light on which is a manufacturing error when I went to get it replaced costing me 1,800 the light is still on and the same error code is back 2 months later nothing was fixed on my car period and on 10/31/17 I went to audi in upper saddle river and they did not fix it either of find a dealer with the airbag near by that has the parts to replace it tho could have cost me and my passengers their life and this isn't unacceptable for audi to treat customers like that regardless of my vehicle being old new or brought from a third party dealership all audi owners should be treated equally and remedies be address according to law and recall. Being that a safety recall is issued customer preference is null and void because safety and wealth has no bearing in who gets first dibs on airbags no audi owner should get preference over the other whether it be they brought their car directly from the audi dealership or not and that the impression I'm getting and based on my experience not all customers and owner are treated equally

Takata recall for defective front passenger airbag was issued on may 27, 2016. One year and a half later, audi has failed to replace the defective airbag or to provide a safe loaner vehicle.
Takata recall. Airbags are on backorder. Dealership has not received enough to replace recalled ones. This is a safety issue for drivers
Takata recall- went to audi dallas and they said they could not fix thee problem. I asked when they would have the fix avaialable, they said they did not have a date.
Takata recall. A recall notice was issued in january 2017 for a takata airbag in this vehicle. I have called two dealers repeatedly during 2017, in ithaca and cicero, however replacement airbags remain unavailable. Since I received the recall notice, I have stopped carrying passengers in the front passenger seat of my vehicle. This has impeded use of the vehicle. It is unacceptable to put another person at risk of injury.
Takata recall was issued in january of 2017 and I have been driving an unsafe vehicle for 10 months with no resolution in sight. I have contacted audi and there is no expected availability date or remedy. I just received a message company has filed for bankruptcy and unsure what recourse exists.
Takata recall remedy is not available. We need to get this fixed asap.
Takata recall - received post card from tk holdings inc. Informing me about the chapter 11 case, and the recall which was instituted on january 11, 2017, of which I was never informed. I am now informed and according to the latest information - recall incomplete remedy not yet available. So, in the meantime, apparently I'm driving a dangerous vehicle. Nothing , as of yet, has happened and I certainly will strive to keep it that way.

Takata recall. We were first notified in march, 2017 of the frontal airbag recall. The letter from audi at that time advised not to drive with passengers in the front seat and for that reason the car has remained in the garage since that time. Audi initially advised parts would be available in october. I have just been advised there is no remedy for this recall and timing of part replacement is unknown. I have a $35,000 car with 40,000 miles on it that is un-usable. I have spoken with a "customer advocate" at audi USA and filed a complaint with them as well. Please help.
Takata recall-as of today, I haven't received any recall or remedy information from the manufacturer
Takata recall it has been over one year since I was first notified of this recall. I have called the audi recall line several times and have received no information. When I have asked when I can expect the repair to be ready, I am told that parts aren't available and they'll send me a letter at some point. They have not been helpful in the least. I have not allowed anyone to ride in my front passenger seat because of the recall, and this time delay is verging on ridiculous!
Takata recall water pump is bad an it is on the recall list
I received a recall notice in july 2016, and am still waiting for notice of parts availability
Takata recall I have received a letter informing me about the recall about a year ago. Despite my car being in zone a (ca) and 12 years old (additional risk factor) there is still no resolution from audi. Calls to a few audi dealers service department reveal that the part is available. I contacted audi a number of times and they insist that repair is not available and I should contact the federal safety agency because you manage the schedule. Since we have child seat in the back and the passenger seat is unsafe the car is unusable for us as a family; when we travel I have to rent a car. At the same time I cannot sell it with a pending recall.

Takata recall, no remedies available yet
Takata recall. I have not been able to drive anybody in my car for 8 months now, unless I want to force them to sit in the back. It is ridiculous that I have not even been told when the airbag inflation will be fixed and/or replaced, and am just told to continue not letting anyone sit in the passengers seat.
Takata recall audi has persistently denied anything wrong with the air bags and there is no sufficient process to remedy this. I called the dealership and there is no maintenance or service bulletin available. Audi headlights the left headlight is malfunctioning due to something with the adaptive head lights. Upon steering the car, especially on highway entries and exits, sharp turns, and windy road driving the error "dipped left headlight" will appear. Audi has consistently denied the problem as you need to be on the road for this problem to occur. Even driving to the service mechanic is deadly with only one functioning headlight and has been the only way for a mechanic to determine an issue is occurring. After that, the car must be left on and unlocked while registering the car.
Takata recall - been awaiting "parts" since 5/27/2016. It is now 1/18/2017. Recall states "inflator could rupture ... After long-term exposure to absolute high humidity and temperature cycling". My vehicle will be 12 years old in 3 months and I live in "hotlanta" ga ("high humidity" is the norm here). I've "avoid(ed) use of the front passenger seat" for 8 months now. Our family has grown and now this is not possible any longer. Spoke to audi USA today (I call them regularly) and they state they still have no idea on parts availability as "the federal safety agency is determining the priority of repairs". How my vehicle is not a priority is beyond my comprehension. Eight months on a waiting list for a remedy is beyond my comprehension. I had to buy a larger car to fit my growing family and it is now beyond my moral capability to sell this defective vehicle "which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants" and be able to sleep at night. Audi is a big corporation, takata is a big corporation and the federal safety agency is a big government entity but, I know human beings must still work at both places and somebody, somewhere has apparently decided my life and the lives of my family are somehow not a priority. Eight months without a definitive fix date on a car that's got to be a ticking time bomb at 12 years old in the humid south (yet winters with temps below freezing aka "temperature cycling")... Fix it or require audi to buy it back a-la vw diesel fiasco.
