TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL: I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT BOTH MY DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED ON MY 2009 AUDI A4. I HAVE CALLED AND VISITED TWO DEALERSHIPS IN PERSON AND MADE OVER 5 PHONE CALLS TO THE MANUFACTURER TO TRY TO GET MY VEHICLE'S REPAIR ESCALATED, AS MY VEHICLE BEGAN IT'S "LIFE" IN FLORIDA, AND HUMID REGIONS ARE TO BE GIVEN PRIORITY, BUT TO NO AVAIL. AUDI, THE MANUFACTURER, HAS INSTRUCTED ME TO TALK DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIPS AND THE DEALERSHIPS TELL ME TO CALL AUDI INTERNATIONAL. BOTH ARE POINTING FINGERS AT THE OTHER, AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING TO AID THE SITUATION. I HAVE ASKED FOR REPAIR, LOANER VEHICLES, A BUYBACK, AND HAVE MET NO RESULTS. I NO LONGER WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR, AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, AND AM SAVING UP FOR MY WEDDING, SO MY FIANCE AND I ARE SHARING OUR OTHER, RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE, AT THIS TIME, WHICH HAS PROVEN DIFFICULT. I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY SEVEN YEAR OLD LITTLE BROTHER AROUND IN MY CAR, NOR DO I FEEL SAFE GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TRYING TO SELL MY CAR TO ANOTHER CONSUMER, KNOWING THAT IT IS NOT SAFE, AND NO REPLACEMENT PARTS OR REPAIR SOLUTION IS IN SIGHT. THE DEALER ESTIMATES JANUARY 2017 AT BEST, BUT CLAIMS IT'S UNLIKELY THAT TAKATA WILL RESPOND WITH PARTS EVEN BY THEN. WE ARE LEFT WITH NO OPTIONS EXCEPT FOR OWNING AND NOT DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRODUCT THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND BEHIND. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL. WHY IS IT TAKING TAKATA SO LONG TO GET AN AIRBAG TO AUDI? MY CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD AND DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IS PART OF THIS RECALL. TAKATA SHOULD BE WORKING WITH OTHER MANUFACTURERS INVOLVED TO MEET DEMAND. THIS IS A CRITICAL ITEM THAT YOU EXPECT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE, NOT TAKE IT. SERIOUSLY THEY NEED TO GET ON THE BALL HERE.

TAKATA RECALL. NO REMEDY YET? DRIVER SIDE RECALL IN FEBRUARY! AUDI IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET.AND I AM IN A HIGH RISK GEOGRAPHIC AREA. (SOUTH CAROLINA) WE HAVE HAD A HOT HUMID SUMMER. WHY DID NHTSA RECALL EVERYTHING WHEN THE HIGH RISK AREAS NEED TO ADDRESSED FIRST! STUPIDITY ON NHTSA'S PART, THEY WILL BE NAMED AS WELL IN ANY FUTURE LAWSUIT.

TAKATA RECALL PENDING REPAIR RECALL SINCE MARCH 2016.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION AT THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. I CALLED BOTH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE AUTO MANUFACTURER. THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A TIMELINE FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THEREFORE, IT WILL TAKE TIME TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIR BAGS. TOYOTA DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY. WHY IS IT TAKING AUDI SO LONG TO REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. WHAT HAPPENS IF I WAS TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND I INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG AND IT WASN'T REPLACED ASAP. CALL TO AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE, SPOKE TO JUDITH AND AUDI MANUFACTURER SERVICE SPOKE TO ADAM. BOTH SAID THAT THEY HAD NO TIMELINE AS WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS AND WHEN THEY WILL REPAIR THE CARS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE 60 DAYS ARE LONG OVERDUE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER IN APRIL 2016, AT LEAST 6 WEEKS AGO, ABOUT THIS RECALL, BUT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AT ANY NJ DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE AUDI RECALL/SERVICE CAMPAIGN LOOKUP TOOL SAYS THAT [XXX] IN PARSIPPANY HAS THE PART, BUT [XXX] SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL COME IN. I COULD NOT REACH ANY PERSON AT THE (800) NUMBER FOR AUDI ON THE RECALL NOTICE, (800) 253-2834; I COULD ONLY LEAVE A MESSAGE WHICH HAS YET TO BE RETURNED. I CHATTED ONLINE THIS MORNING WITH SOMEONE AT AUDIUSA.COM/CONTACT US BUT THERE IS NO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE; ONLY AN APOLOGY IS OFFERED. PLEASE ASSIST IN GETTING THE NECESSARY PART TO A CONVENIENT AUDI DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE AND THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. DUE TO SUN GLARE, I REAR-ENDED A MERCURY MOUNTAINEER WITH MY 2006 AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE. I NEVER SAW HIS TAILLIGHTS, I WAS NOT MESSING WITH THE RADIO OR TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE. I WAS NOT CITED, ALTHOUGH THE ACCIDENT WAS CLEARLY MY FAULT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND SHOULDER HARNESS IN THE CORRECT FASHION. MY INJURIES WERE MINOR BRUISING AND A RUB MARK ON MY NECK FROM THE SHOULDER HARNESS. THE ACCIDENT WAS A DIRECT HIT, PRACTICALLY STRAIGHT ON. THE RADIATOR WAS PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT. THE REST OF THE AUDI SAFETY FEATURES WORKED - THE REAR SEAT ROLLOVER PROTECTION DEPLOYED. THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS CAME ON. THE ENGINE TURNED ITSELF OFF. MY QUESTION IS WHY DIDN'T THE DRIVER AIRBAG GO OFF??? IT WAS A DIRECT HIT. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, YET THAT AIRBAG WENT OFF. *TR
