2008 Audi A4 Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL. SAFETY RECALL 69N2. I RECEIVED TWO NOTICES OF THIS RECALL FROM AUDI OF AMERICAN, INC, THE LAST ON APRIL 28, 2016. A TELEPHONE CALL TO THE DEALER (AUDI OF HILTON HEAD) AT THAT TIME ADVISED THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE, WITH NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN REPAIRS WILL BE MADE. I AM CONCERNED THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS LONG OVER DUE AND THAT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION REMAINS.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WENT TO PRESTIGE AUDI TO STATE MY CONCERN ABOUT A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT. IT ISNT TO DANGEROUS. THIS RECALL CAN CAUSE A FATALITY. WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT. I NEED ANSWERS . I DRIVE AROUND ALOT

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V382000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPLAIN IS THE LACK OF IMPORTANCE BY AUDI AND TAKATA WHEN THEY DONT HAVE A TIME TABLE AS TO WHEN PARTS ARE GOING TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEY DONT CARE IF YOU HAVE TO SIT YOUR SPOUSE OR CHILDREN AND POTENTIALLY EXPOSE THEM TO A TRAGEDY, SHOULD YOU BE INVOLVED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT. IN MY CASE I HAVE 2 VEHICLES, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE THE SAME RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECAP WAS ANNOUNCED MAY 2016. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM AUDI IN JUNE. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2016 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO FURTHER CONTACT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE LETTER STATES NOT TO ALLOW A PERSON TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS ALONE TO WORK. BUT MY FATHER WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE HIM TO TREATMENT. I CALLED DUBLIN OHIO DEALER TO ASK FOR A LOANER CAR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TWICE A MONTH. NO COOPERATION. NO PATH FORWARD. NO SCHEDULE FOR REMEDY. NOTHING. MY CAR MIGHT AS WELL BE A ONE SEATED CAR. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND DRIVEN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FROM AUGUST 2011 THRU FEBRUARY 2016. IT WAS RELOCATED TO ILLINOIS IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND THE RECALLED FOR TAKATA AIRBAG DANGER IN MAY 2016. THIS RECALL PROCESS HAS BEEN AN UNETHICAL AND IMMORAL PROCESS WITH IRRESPONSIBLE DELAYS AND LETHAL POSSIBILITIES. THIS SITUATION MUST BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY REGARDLESS OF CONSEQUENCES TO THE MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V382000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SIDESWIPED A TRUCK AND A CRASH OCCURRED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. SINCE JULY 2016, I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL AUDI DEALER THREE TIMES FOR INFORMATION ON EXPECTED AIRBAG REPAIR OR REMOVAL. NO REPAIR DATE OFFERED. CALLED AUDI USA FOR AIRBAG REPAIR DATE OR INFORMATION IN NOVEMBER 2016. AUDI STATED TAKATA HAS NOT GIVEN THEM ANY INFORMATION ON REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. I ASKED ABOUT A VEHICLE BUY-BACK PROGRAM IN REGARDS TO RECALL. AUDI USA STATED NO HELP OFFERED.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE THAT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS UNSAFE AND IS RECALLED. THERE IS NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO THIS DATE. I DRIVE WITH A PERSON WHO IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC AND MUST SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I ALSO DRIVE A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND WE NEED TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AS THE REAR SEATS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I REQUEST A SPEEDY REMEDY/ REPLACEMENT AIR BAG.

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF THE RECALL, WE CANNOT PLACE OUR DISABLED SON IN THE FRONT SEAT SUCH THAT WE CAN KEEP AND EYE ON HIM, AS HE CAN'T CONTROL HIS IMPULSES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO PLACE HIM IN THE BACK AS HE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THIS IS AN EXTREME HARDSHIP, AND AUDI WON'T PROVIDE ME A LOANER CAR OR A SOLUTION. IS THERE A CLASS ACTION SUIT INVOLVING THIS ISSUE? AUDI HAS PROVIDED NO HELP, AND TAKATA CAN'T BE REACHED. WHAT WE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?

TATAKA RECALL: A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP! MY FAMILY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANY TIME WE HAVE TO USE OUR CAR FOR OUR DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES AND ROUTINES.

TAKATA RECALL - MAY 27, 2016 WITH NO REMEDY THE RECALL IS FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE ONLY. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE IS NOT ALSO IMPACTED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT YET SINCE THE CAR AND THE AIR BAGS WERE ALL BUILT AT THE SAME TIME AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT THEY WOULD NOT PUT TWO DIFFERENT BRANDS IN THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REMEDY AS OF YET. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE PUT IN THIS SITUATION. SOME ONE SHOULD PROVIDE ME A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, BUT THAT NO SOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. I REQUESTED MORE INFORMATION BOTH FROM MY LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS FROM AUDI USA AND RECEIVED NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER. THE BEST ESTIMATE THE DEALERSHIP COULD GIVE ME WAS 8 MONTHS TO A YEAR BEFORE A SOLUTION. THIS MEANS THAT I CAN NOT SAFELY HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE OR OUR INFANT INT HE BACK SEAT FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME, ESSENTIALLY RENDERING THE VEHICLE USELESS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V382000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN MAY.

TAKATA RECALL: THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO PASSENGER AIRBAG ONLY, WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER. I CONTACTED AUDI USA, 800-822-2834 AND CONFIRMED WITH THE REP ( VINCE) THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE AVAILABLE REGARDING THE DRIVER AIRBAG NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. AUDI USA IS NOT ABLE/WILLING TO PROVIDE A LETTER INDICATING THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO BE CONCERNED RE; DRIVER AIR BAG AND MORE IMPORTANTLY , THAT IT IS SAFE.. I FIND THIS TO BE VERY INAPPROPRIATE, I LIVE IN MIAMI, FL. A HIGHLY HUMID AND HOT STATE WHICH TAKATA HAS REPORTED AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE DUE TO PROPELLANT DEGRADATION OCCURRING AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO ABSOLUTE HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING. I KNOW FOR A FACT CAN BE DEADLY IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE AUDI/ REP THAT THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE IS TO " TAKE THE CAR APART TO CONFIRM MANUFACTURER OF AIRBAG." THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DENY A FAMILY/FRIEND TRANSPORTATION ( PASSENGER ) BECAUSE I HAVE A RECALLED AIRBAG WITH A "REPAIR SOLUTION PENDING." IN ADDITION, I AM MAKING MY CAR PAYMENTS TOWARDS A CAR THAT I NOW FEEL UNSAFE, AND CANNOT ALLOW A PASSENGER TO ACCOMPANY ME. I AM REQUESTING A PROMPT ANSWER TO MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT AND SOLUTION TOWARDS THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED NOTICE FROM AUDI OF AMERICA APRIL 2016 STATING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. RECEIVED NOTICE FROM AUDI OF AMERICAN JULY 2016 STATING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR AND THEY RECOMMEND NOT USING PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED. CALLED AUDI WHO INFORMED ME THAT WHILE BOTH AIRBAGS HAVE THE SAME POTENTIAL ISSUE, THEY CAN ONLY RECOMMEND NOT USING PASSENGER SIDE AS THE CONSUMER MUST USE THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO DRIVE A CAR. AUDI ALSO INFORMED ME THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS DEFUNCT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LETTER AND STILL NO PART.
