2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet Airbags Problems

TAKATA RECALL MY AUDI DEALER [AUDI OF HUNTINGTON NY] HAS BEEN TELLING ME FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM AND IT IS ALWAYS "ON ORDER, WE WILL CALL YOU". THEN I RECEIVE A POST CARD FROM AUDI OF HUNTINGTON TO CALL FOR THE RECALL SERVICE....AND SAME STORY. AS I SAID, THIS IS THE PAST FEW YEARS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART. COULD YOU INQUIRE SO THAT I DO NOT WIND UP SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF MY DEALER'S FAILURE AND NEGLECT. *JS

MY VEHICLE IS IMPACTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP LETTER FROM AUDI INDICATING THAT I SHOULD "SCHEDULE THIS RECALL REPAIR IMMEDIATELY, EVEN IF AN INTERIM REPAIR WAS RECENTLY DONE." UPON CALLING THE LOCAL AUDI DEALERS THEY ALL INDICATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER (AUDI) HAS NOT YET SHIPPED THE NECESSARY PARTS TO EFFECT THE REPAIR, AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PARTS SINCE EARLY TO MID MARCH 2018. IF AUDI IS NOT READY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES THEN THE COMMUNICATION TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS SHOULD INDICATE THIS CLEARLY. IT NOW FEELS LIKE AUDI IS COVERING THEMSELVES BY STATING THEY ARE READY TO MAKE A REPAIR WHICH THEY ARE CLEARLY NOT YET READY FOR.

:TAKATA RECALL" MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT WILL BE ONE YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE MY AIRBAG DEFLATOR REPLACED,AND IT IS STILL NOT COMPLETED. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER, EMAILED AUDI DIRECT AND ALL THEY SAY THEY ARE WAITING ON THE PARTS. MY VEHICLE IS IN FLORIDA NOW (PURCHASED IN MI) BEING A SMALLER VEHICLE AND IN THE HOT CLIMATE I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED QUICKLY. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I TRADED THE CAR IN FOR A NEW ONE, THAT BEFORE THE DEALER COULD SELL THE AUDI Q5 THEY HAD TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, AND THEY COULD GET IT DONE THEN. SO SOMEONE THAT HAS NOT HAD THE VEHICLE FOR YEARS GET THE BENEFIT, THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE CAR IS NOW 5 YEARS OLD, YET THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A PRETTY MUCH RIDICULOUS SITUATION, CONSIDERING WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
