I asked my audi dealer where I take my care for all care and maintenance about replacing the defective air bags. I was told the parts were not available. I asked about being given a loaner car until the replacement parts were available. I was told there was a long list but they would put me in the list. That was almost 1 year ago and still no mention of the loaner car or fix. When I expressed my concern about the safety hazard I was told that "audi hasn't had any deaths yet". I told him I didn't want to be the first. The last time I asked I was told that the replacements/repairs would start on the west coast in september 2017 but no idea of when my car would be fixed. Why is the consumer left with no answers and driving a potential death machine? Why isn't audi being pressured to fix this? When can we expect this to be fixed? Hopefully, before I am involved in a potentially fatal collision (which will end up costing much more in lawsuits than the repair would cost.
