Takata recall our passenger air bag was recalled in may 2016, and audi informed us in july 2016 of the recall. The defect has not been fixed, which has caused hardship for our family of four, for whom this car is the main mode of transportation. We purchased this car used in 2011. We contacted audi of north america, who would not give us a rental car or tell us when our car would be repaired.

Takata recall. This vehicle has been located and driven in the state of texas from august 2011 thru february 2016. It was relocated to illinois in february 2016 and the recalled for takata airbag danger in may 2016. This recall process has been an unethical and immoral process with irresponsible delays and lethal possibilities. This situation must be rectified immediately regardless of consequences to the manufacturer.
Takata recall. This recap was announced may 2016. I received a letter from audi in june. It is now december 2016 and there has been no further contact from the manufacturer. The letter states not to allow a person to sit in the passenger seat. Most of my driving is alone to work. But my father was recently diagnosed with cancer and I am not able to take him to treatment. I called dublin ohio dealer to ask for a loaner car for a couple of hours twice a month. No cooperation. No path forward. No schedule for remedy. Nothing. My car might as well be a one seated car.
Takata recall: the recall notice was issued in july. 2016. As of dec. 2016 no repairs have been possible, nor parts available until "the spring". The passenger seat is unsafe for use, rendering the auto extremely dysfunctional for at least 9+ months. Inexcusable!

Takata recall according to the audi web site, this recall has been open since may 26, 2016, with no remedy available yet. Six months seems like an excessive amount of time to address a serious safety issue. I am unable to have anyone ride in the passenger seat, for fear of their injury or death in the event of an accident, and the possible personal liability related to this.

Informed by audi of recall. No remedy, no timetable for repair, no offer ofloaner car, just advised to not drive with passengers indefinitely. Talked to two audi dealers and heard same story. They do not address loss of use of not being able to safely transport passengers yet they say do not disconnect airbags. Other auto brands affected by this recall are making repairs and providing loaner/rental cars. I assume the vw diesel scandal is affecting their desire to protect and take care of their customers. It's been 4 months since the notice and as of 10/28 there is no new info or remedy available.
I did not receive a notice that audi supposedly sent that my 2008 a4 sedan has a takata air bag that will be replaced.
