2012 Audi A3 Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL REPAIR NOT AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT'S BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF RECALL, BUT NO SOLUTION IS YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT A LETTER FROM AUDI ON 4/27/2106. THE LETTER IS ATTACHED. PLEASE IGNORE MY NOTES. IT STATED MY CAR WAS BEING RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FRONT AIRBAG MADE BY TAKATA. PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AND NO KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL BE. I CALLED AUDI AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE PROVIDING RENTAL CARS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I CALLED 2 DEALERS IN COLUMBUS, OHIO AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE RENTAL CARS AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MEANWHILE I AM SCREWED. I AND ALL THE OTHER IMPACTED AUDI OWNERS HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. THIS IS TERRIBLE. I COULD USE YOUR HELP TO GET AUDI TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

TAKATA RECALL - MY CAR WAS DELIVERED IN SHREVEPORT, LA AND I BOUGHT IT AFTER IT HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS IN THAT HUMID ENVIRNMENT. I HAVE IT HOME IN SANTA FE, NM - A DRY ENVIRONMENT. I CAN NOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO ANY PRIORITY I MIGHT HAVE SINCE THE PSDI-5 NON-DESSICATED INFLATOR IN MY CAR HAD BEEN IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR - IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME.
