“Takata recall I waited one year for the driver's side part to come in. I lost out on driving this vehicle for entirely one year. Now there is a recall on the passenger side and I can't take any passengers until it is fixed. Mohegan lake Audi tells me that the part wont be available until september and being that this is a convertible, this is totally unacceptable. I can't take my 89 year old mother whom I am caregiver for anywhere in this car. Please help me get this done sooner. I was patient waiting an entire year for the driver's side and lost out on driving the car for one year, 2016. …”
NHTSA complaint #10994388, filed 2017-06, 7,000 miles“Takata recall. I have contacted classic Audi dealer in eastchester, ny several times by phone, email, and chat. They have been unresponsive. To date I have not been offered an appointment to replace both airbags. I called the Audi advocate in michigan, and she promised to help by contacting classic Audi and provide me with information about when classic Audi will schedule an appointment. This is taking too long.”
NHTSA complaint #11162397, filed 2018-12“Takata recall - I have been notified they need to replace my 'passenger side' airbag (driver side was replaced already), but the parts have not been available for about 1 year. I get cards in the mail telling me I need to replace it, but the dealers do not have the part. Everyone says because of the location, texas, and the age of the car, 2009 model, this car is a 'priority', but I cannot get the part to have it replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #11074042, filed 2018-02“Takata recall -- since october 2018, I have been receiving messages from Audi that the repair is available and that I should schedule an appointment immediately for my safety and the safety of my family. Since then, I have made several appointments with my local dealer only to have each of them canceled due to the airbag being on backorder or otherwise unavailable. On january 24, I called both my local dealer, Audi eatontown, and Audi customer experience. …”
NHTSA complaint #11172125, filed 2019-01“Takata recall I am driving this car and have a family and when they are in the passenger seat they are in danger. I think Audi should provide a loaner car until they can repair the airbag yet they refused.”
