Audi periodically sends out a provocative safety warning to 'schedule your repair immediately' stating that (my) 'safety and satisfaction are their top priorities'. when I call a dealer, I'm told that I already have the (temporary and only) fix (as takata went bankrupt). Please encourage Corp Audi to get their story strait. The only fact I know for certain is that neither I or anyone one I know will ever buy another Audi.
Takata recall I have contacted the Audi dealer and Audi usa several times to get a repair scheduled without any success. This has now been going on for more than 2 years. Every time I get the same story. We have not received any parts, one time they told me the repair had just been revoked and that they were waiting new information. I feel very unsafe with the situation.
Takata recall - airbag replaced per recall but airbag light remains lit due to faulty seatbelt in rear center passenger seat. Faulty seat belt needs to be put under recall as this seems to be a common issue in the Audi.

Takata recall I have been waiting over a year for the airbag fix on my car. This amount of time is extremely concerning given this is a life/safety fix. How much longer will this take?
" takata recall " in December 2016 I purchased a used low mile 2008 Audi A6 from boise Volkswagen-Audi in boise Idaho. It has the takata airbag recall on it. I believe Audi new about the recall before I purchased the car. The dealer has not fixed it because they don`T have the parts. Their solution is don`T let anyone ride in the front seat! really" I have two teenage kids and two elderly parents I take care of. I can`T own a car that I cannot use or should I have too. The recall says the metal parts of the air bag can come apart and can cause fatal injury, so that puts everyone in the car in danger, not just the passenger! I think Audi should buy my car back or give me a loaner car until they are able to fix the safety issue. I am super unhappy with this and afraid to even drive the car, but I have to because its my only source of transportation. What can be done"

Takata airbags I have contacted the dealer (larson Audi in Tacoma, wa) and the Audi headquarters in the us. Audi is unconcerned that I have an unsafe car as verified by takata on their website airbagrecall, com. The only thing I am able to do is not drive the car. What do I need to do to get it repaired? this has been going on since last January.
Takata recall, NHTSA: 17V032, I received a letter from Audi in March 2017 informing me of the recall. I contacted my local Audi dealer every month since trying to schedule the takata airbag repair. After over six months Audi is still not able to schedule or complete the repair. This is unacceptable since it is such an important safety concern. There does not seem to be any way to move forward and Audi does not provide any information about when the repair will be available. I believe this is taking much too long to complete. Any help in the matter would be appreciated. Thank you. Best, [xxx] 'information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
