Takata recall the recall was started on may 27, 2016. But I have never received a notification letter from audi with respect to the recall. When I find out the recall today by myself, it turns out that audi is still not able to provide repair for my vehicle. Driving such a vehicle is very dangerous to the front passenger. Audi as the manufacturer should have been taken care of it.
Takat recall. Where is the fix? This is a serious danger...lives are at risk. I have not experienced this issue and find the solution is taking much to long increasing the risk that I do experience the issue.
Takata recall:I received a letter from audi in july 2016 notifying me that my vehicle is subject to this recall, but also informing me that "a recall repair is not yet available." seven months later, I am still awaiting notification that a remedy for this potentially fatal defect has been identified. Apparently, I'm supposed to drive this vehicle at my own, and my passengers', risk that an airbag may deploy and result in serious injury or death. This is absurd.

Takata recall. I received the notice in the mail on july of 2016, repair has still not been performed. Audi dealer states that they don't have the parts in stock. However, nothing has happened to the car and everything is fine. I am just afraid to have a passenger with me in the car. I shouldn't have to wait for the replacement such a long time.
This is not a complaint about [xxx], my audi dealer. (my wife has an a6 under recall same problem). Your web site says 12 million air bags have been replaced. But audi tells me that they have not received any indication of when they will receive replacements from takata and I feel at risk driving my car. Why has audi not received replacements and 12 million others have? Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall- recall initiated in may 2016. It is december 2016, and dealer says no fix is available yet. This is unacceptable. They recommended that no one sit in passenger seat, this is unacceptable and puts myself and my passengers at risk every time I drive.
Takata recall
Takata recall- my life is in danger everyday. Why audi ignoring the safety of my life by not replacing the bags quickly? It has been too long, and what is taking so long. This is unacceptable.
Takata recall I received a recall notice in july 2016 and am told the repair is still not available. I have not driven the vehicle since then which has resulted in much difficulty and expense. I have uploaded a photo of a friend who was in an accident involving a defective airbag. I request audi give me a loaner car until the airbag is replaced.

Air bag warning light is on. This is my daily driver so very concerned. Also this vehicle uses an unusually high amount of oil. I have to add oil weekly to the car. It has been doing this for a long time. I just was informed that I could report this problem.
Takata recall I received the notification letter in the mail marked july 2016. It's been 3 months and no further communication regarding the fix for the airbag has been sent.

Audi does not have a solution for this recall.

I received a letter from audi regarding the recall on my takata passenger frontal airbag informing me of the recall and suggesting that I avoid using my front passenger seat. I am appalled that audi would make such a statement knowing that their customers use the vehicles as family cars, typically having someone in the front passenger seat. Audi has no foreseen date of repair. In addition, the girl I spoke to on the phone from audi suggested that I call a local certified audi dealership to see if I can get a loaner car until the problem is resolved as I do not feel safe driving my car, in which I was told by over 10 dealerships that they do not give out loaner cars for this purpose. I am shocked that I am not being offered a safe car to drive until this problem is resolved.
Takata recall... No fix date in the near future. They will not provide a loaner vehicle. I was told that the car is safe to drive and this recall is precautionary.

Takata recall -I find this extremely disturbing that a risk as the recall states "in the event of an inflator rupture, in very rare cases metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants." the part that I find disturbing is that there is no replacement part available at this time and no loaner cars are being provided nor an alternative other than the recommendation of not having a passenger sit in the vehicle.I have paid a lot of money for my car, and it is very well maintained by audi dealership.it seems unjust that no matter how good I have cared for and put into my vehicle, it is still and has always been unsafe?I am not in a position where I can hold off on carrying any passengers in the front seat. I am a mother of 2 ( a 15 year old and 7 year old) and I also share carpool with another parent where I have no choice but to use my front seat. Besides that, I do not think it is right for audi to suggest how to use their car that they have invested in without a fair accommodation. I do not have an "extra" car that I can drive around as an alternate and even if I did, how fair would it be for audi to ask me not to drive it, if I plan to have passengers in my car, or how fair is it for me to ask my friends and family to sit in the back seat?! This is ridiculous. I plan to be compensated. Audi should hope that nothing terrible happens to anyone. I had plans for my daughter to take over this car. She will be 16 soon and has been learning to drive in this audi, and now I may have to purchase a different car for her because this audi is unsafe. Might I add, I may even have to hold off teaching her to drive under her ca. Driver's permit because I am no longer to sit in the passenger seat? This is ridiculous, you have no idea how you affect people's lives, as long as audi keeps making money.
Takata recall. I received notice (july 2016) and the recall repair is not yet available. Audi headquarters will not offer a courtesy vehicle while the parts of the car are sourced and the vehicle is replaced.
Takata recall- per recall instructions, attempted to have dealer: audi reno tahoe 9190 s. Virginia st. Reno, nv89511 make necessary repairs. Colton gaffney and cory hobson refused to accept vehicle.
Glancing side impact head on collision - vehicle rolled 270 degrees - right, upside down, then ended on left side. None of the airbags deployed. Impact speed was more than sufficient to roll vehicle, thus they should have deployed. Vehicle proceeding in motion - probably 20 MPH at time of impact on two lane highway (other vehicle crossed over) approx 35-40 when first observed other vehicle moving erratically
