I HAVE BEEN SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS TO RECTIFY AN OPEN AIRBAG RECALL THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERS. NONE OF THE DEALERS BOTH IN OXNARD, CA AND RANCHO MIRAGE, CA HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH. I ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR 3/11/2019 FOR THE OXNARD, CA LOCATION, AND THE LATEST COUPLE WERE FOR LAST AND THIS MONTH THROUGH THE AUDI IN RANCHO MIRAGE, CA. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY OF THOSE OF MY FAMILY, AS THE RECALL POINTS OUT THAT A METAL MESH WOULD DEPLOY ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG CAUSING POTENTIAL DEATH. AT THIS POINT, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF AUDI OF AMERICA WAS TO PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BACK.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NOTICES IN THE MAIL REGARDING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL 69R7 - PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG FOR 2 YEARS OR MORE. EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR FOR SERVICE IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS TO BYERS AUDI ON HAMILTON ROAD IN COLUMBUS, OH, I HAVE ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AIRBAGS AND WILL LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE. IS AUDI COMPLIANT WITH REQUIREMENTS SIMPLY BY NOTIFYING CUSTOMERS OF THE RECALL OR MUST THEY PERFORM THE SERVICE WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME? I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN.

TAKATA AIRBAG - IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND AUDI HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A CAR THAT CANNOT ACCOMMODATE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY. AUDI REFUSES TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND THEY HAVE NO TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. AS ALWAYS, THE CONSUMER IS LEFT HOLDING THE BAG FOR THE CORPORATION. HOW IS THIS RIGHT?

TAKATA RECALL- WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 13 MONTHS(MAY 2016) AGO REGARDING THE PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG IN ONE OF OUR TWO AUDIS. IN APRIL 2017, EVEN THO WE ARE LABELED BY NHTSA A ZONE A, WE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE THAT AN INTERIM REPAIR WOULD BE MADE BUT NOT ONE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ACCORDING TO AUDI IN THIS CAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. TO NOT BE ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR 13 MONTHS AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW MUCH LONGER FOR A $40,000+ CAR IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI CEO TO NO AVAIL. ETHE DEALERSHIP CANNOT HELP EITHER. SO, THE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE AS MY HUSBAND IS ON OXYGEN AND BROKE HIS HIP AND CANNOT SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. EITHER AUDI OR SOMEONE NEEDS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG OR REPLACE THE CAR WITH A CAR WE CAN DRIVE.

TAKATA AIRBAG I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM AUDI IN MAY 2006. I HAVE PERIODICALLY CALLED MY DEALERSHIP NEWPORT IMPORTS IN NEWPORT BEACH CA. ELEVEN MONTHS LATER I AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT AUDI DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIR BAGS. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY LONG WAIT TO HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE CORRECTED, ESPECIALLY AS THERE IS NO DATE BY WHICH AUDI EXPECTS TO HAVE A SOLUTION.
