My airbags were never replaced by Audi. I took my vehicle in for an oil change and to fix the recall I received in the mail (airbags) and was told they had none in stock. Why is this telling me I have no recalls when I still do? The only way that my vehicle has no recalls is if Audi said they fixed it and that-€™s not true. Nobody has fixed it nor have they notified me that they-€™re back in stock! The Audi dealership I have dealt with since owning this s4 is the one in fife Washington. Now my airbag warning light is on and I do not feel safe but I have no choice. I have to go to work or be homeless and loose everything. That-€™s not a choice I can make. Thank you
Do to a recall, I had my 2007 Audi S4 cabriolet front two airbags replaced. Airbag light came on immediately after replacement. I have been told I will need to pay for a new seat belt assembly ordered direct from germany for $1172 usd. (not including install fee) please advise.
Pursuant to NHTSA recall 18V427 and 18V082 I am having a very hard time getting the necessary repairs done to my vehicle. I called sonnen Audi in san rafael, ca last year and they were not prepared to repair the takata recalls. Later this year in February I called again. I was scheduled for a repair on May 28. I drove 40 miles to get the scheduled repair and they didn't have the parts. They could not tell me when I could get my repair. I am now very concerned that I continue to drive this vehicle that is dangerous to drive and yet the dealership where I bought it has yet to fulfill its responsibility to make my car safe. I believe they have been negligent in taking caring of this important recall. I sent them an online letter two days ago and they have not responded to my complaint.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Audi S4. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 18V427000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The dealer (Audi of roanoke, 2006 peters creek rd, roanoke, va 24017, 540-562-0099) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall, NHTSA recall # 17V-032, manufacturer recall # 69P6 it has been over 6 months since the recall was initiated and Audi has not yet procured the necessary recall repair items, has not provided any recall repair schedule, and has not provided any updated communication with vehicle owner. Both Audi and NHTSA should ensure that more resources are directed towards this problem, perhaps suspend airbag installations in new vehicles until such time as all recall vehicles have been fixed.

Takata recall issue has not been fixed by the dealership. They said they don't have parts available and will call me when they become available. When I asked if they provide a loaner vehicle until repair is performed, they said they don't have a loaner program available either.
My 2007 Audi rs-4 quattro sedan had a brake malfunction of some sort that caused the front wheels to lock even while the esp system was active and ABS was in proper working order and the vehicle displayed no warnings on the info display. The vehicle crashed into a guardrail while we were doing 40mph because it wouldn't turn in the curve at the bottom of the hill we were descending, a few times that day the car had a vibration go through it almost as though a tire was bad or a brake was dragging, with a slight burning smell to accompany it. But still no lights or warning displays came on, on our way to dinner my friend and I were descending the hill near to the restaurant we were gong to and the brakes didn't seem to grab at first then seem to have locked up.. we crashed doing a full 40mph. The angle we hit the rail at and the angle of the rail itself deflected us slightly causing the passenger side rear of the car to also hit it. Then as the rear hit the rail it bounced the rear out to the left causing us to hit the rail with the right front again then deflected us off of the small cliff on the opposite side of the road. Where the car was laying on its driver's side in the ditch and had run down 3 smaller trees, all this energy and damage, yet none of the airbags deployed not even the head curtains, as a result I suffered head injuries a fractured T3 vertebrae alot of muscle strains and a sprain plus nerve damage that disabled me from feeling my lower extremities and feet for a few days, my friend whom was driving suffered a contusion on his brain that bled for a while and could have caused him to become paraplegic. He struck his head on the B-pillar and steering wheel, even though we both wore our seat belts, which my belt had to be cut off as it wouldn't unlatch. I have looked on a few Audi forums and have seen complaints from other RS4 owners. I hope this can be addressed, thanks.
