Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 Audi A6. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V385000 (air bags); however, the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
The recall notice for this defect was issued in July 2016. There is still no remedy and the defect has been described to put anyone in the passenger seat at risk of injury from metal shards if the airbag were to deploy. The excessive delay in providing a fix is unsatisfactory and should be unacceptable.
Takata recall. I was notified probably 9-10 months ago that there is a recall on the drivers side airbag of my car and that I should not allow any passengers to ride in the front seat. This is extremely inconvenient. I have not been able to find any dealers that have the replacement parts available. This period of time seems pretty crazy to me as the notice said that if it deploys it could cause severe injury or death.

Takata recall: Audi sent recall notice July 2016 for passenger side airbag, said do not use passenger seat, said replacement parts not availsable. Also said my vehicle at highest risk since purchased and garaged in miami, Florida, high heat and humidity. Six months later, January 2017, still no replacement parts available. Unable to sell vehicle until defective airbag replaced. Audi can not provide any estimate for when replacement parts will be available. What can NHTSA do to require Audi to make immediate replacement?
Can't use the passenger seat of the vehicle. This is not a valid solution. When I purchased the car, 6 years ago, it indicated front driver and passenger airbags that functioned. Find a solution with Audi for this problem. You can't even sell the car.

Months ago I received a postcard telling me that my Audi was on the recall list for the takata recall but that no replacements parts were available. Ever since then, I have not been able to use my car's front seat and I live in fear that the bag could go off. Why do I have to risk my life, and my son's life, with no end in sight" I am not wealthy. I have to continue to use this car. Why is there no resolution? will there ever be any, short of a worst case scenario"
Takata recall. Car was domiciled in NY from 2005-2007, Florida 2007-2012 and California 2012-present. Issue is the airbag recall on this car needs to be prioritized faster based on the 5 years in hot humid Florida and 2 years in NY vs ca. Since I now live in ca the Audi rusnak thousand oaks advised it has a lower priority then Florida. Request the takata airbag replacement parts be shipped sooner for my car to complete repairs based on the years in Florida.
Takata recall received a post card in the mail back on 5/27/2016 about my air bag on the passenger side being defective and that there is no fix. My light popped on way before I received the post card and the only thing they can say is try not to have anyone riding in the front seat, that is not right, this is the family vehicle for going to work and taking my teenage son and daughter around to school, activities and doctors appointments. How much longer will we have to wait for a fix, this is a dangerous situation everyday driving around and I live in Wisconsin.

Takata recall dealer refused repair as fix not available. Did not provide time estimates and refused loaner car. Audi usa contacted with the same outcome. Was told to avoid using passenger seat.
Takata recall Audi states "recommends avoiding the use of the front passenger sear whenever possible until the recall repair has been performed.". are they going to provider a loaner vehicle until this repair is performed? this vehicle is used by my family daily and someone in the front passenger seat cannot be avoided. This is absurd and a vehicle should be provided.
I received a letter from takata starting there was a problem with the airbag possible deploying/not deploying and their was not a fix at this time. It also started not to have anyone ride in front passenger set. I contacted the provided number and let them know that I have four kids and this was my only car and I felt unsafe driving the car. Therefore I asked them to provide me with another safe fixed car or I can rent one until they ackware the replacement parts to fix my vehicle and they pay for it. I was astonished that they told me that if I elect to get a rental or didn't drive my car due to the issue that it would be my desision and they are not responsible for any additional charges occurred. Also started that if I elected to drive the car with my kids it is my desision. When I noted this was my only vehicle and means of transportation they acted as oh well. Therefore I need your help and support immediately because I am fearful for my kids safety and wellbeing in my car. Again only means of transportation.
I reached out to Audi when I received an email stating recalls for my car. I spoke to 2 Audi reps at there call center whom both stated to me that I was wrong about the email I received and to check this site. Once I have it showed and stated the same recall that I received an email about. But once I stated that the dealer may not be aware of the scheduling of this but both reps state that the site backed by auto trader and kbb was incorrect. It bothers me to see that this company is not aware of there own defects which makes me wonder what else is extremely wrong with the car--------- also after seeing the recall my passenger light for the airbags started to flicker when no one was in the car, which lead to some other electrical problem with my car. My whole mmi interface malfunctioned to where its only a black screen
