Takata recall: received recall notice april 2016. Waitied 7 months. Contacted audi dealer, audi USA oct 2016 say part is still unavailable and the federal safety agency is allocating parts. Filed complaint with the federal safety agency oct 2016. Nothing. No one called or contacted me. Audi dealer customer care contacts me feb 2017 to purchase a new car as a 'solution' for airbag recall. Tells me I can die or get seriously injured anytime. Better to get a new car they say. Wait. If parts are available for new cars. Why not fix mine? Why should I buy a new car? Confirmed according to audi dealer and audi USA 2017 models have non faulty parts and airbags! Emails to audi USA why parts are being allocated to new cars instead of repairing affected cars?? They have no answers. Just keep deferring to the federal safety agency. Called the federal safety agency for answers. The federal safety agency states it's the manufacturer's responsibility not theirs. They just collect complaints. Is anyone reading these? 13 million cars have been repaired but which one are these? I'm in zone a ca at least 2 deaths occurred here as a result of the takata airbags. It is hot humid area I am concerned driving my car and this is unacceptable. Again is anyone reading these? Post clear information about schedules for each zones and which manufacturers will be getting parts so that we can better understand when our dangerous life threatening recall will be repaired. If audi is responsible for allocating parts tell them to stop telling us that they have no idea and aren't responsible for parts availability. Make them use the new parts to fix our cars not manufacture new ones and sell it to us as a scare tactic!
