Takata recall. I have received numerous notices from Audi and the secretary of state's office that my A3 is recalled for the airbag replacement. I have been trying to schedule this since June with Audi of kalamazoo, my local dealer. They schedule appointments for this 6 weeks out. They have twice cancelled my appointment the day before the service saying that they can't get the parts. I have been able to schedule an appointment with another dealer who report that they have not had such trouble getting the parts. Audi of kalamazoo's delay tactics have unnecessarily put my family at risk.

Audi refuses to replace citing lack of parts yet keeps sending me notices to replace. This is wasting a lot of time for both parties.

Airbag warning light came on. Dealer said passenger seat occupancy sensor must be replaced, at cost of $1500-3000 since it's 5 months past my warranty. Numerous Audi models from 2012 onward have a recall for this sensor, but not my 2011 model (yet). Other automakers have extended their warranty for this safety-critical part -- BMW to 15 years, for example. Technicians could not tell me if the sensor error means all airbags are disabled, passenger airbag only is disabled, or passenger airbag is always-on (dangerous for children).

Takata recall. The recall on this airbag issued in Feb 2016 and I am still being told that there is no remedy available. Nothing has happened yet, but I am apparently driving around with an airbag that is known to be hazardous.

Unable to trade in vehicle with dealer. States only valued at $2500; $5000 less than actual trade in value. Unacceptable that Audi does not stand by mistake.

Mftr has not replaced airbag under this recall.

I purchased the vehicle from a dealer in houston, TX on oct 3, 2016. Prior to purchase, I submitted the necessary documentation and notice to us customs for export to canada. I also contacted Audi canada to determine that there were no outstanding recalls. The vendor provided a temporary permit from the state of texas, which permitted us to drive the vehicle home. We imported the vehicle into canada at port huron with no complications on October 21, 2016, paying the required duty and hst. Several days later, we received notice from riv that they could not issue clearance, as a recall for the takata airbag remained outstanding. Riv indicated that the vehicle must comply within 45 days or be returned to the us. I enquired about returning the vehicle to the selling dealer. However, as the texas title has been transferred to my name, the vehicle must now be compliant for resale in the us. I have made numerous inquiries of Audi canada and while they have attempted to be helpful, they indicate that no replacement parts are available and no date has been provided regarding availability of parts. I have also contacted Audi mississauga, (who have serviced other Audi vehicles for us), as well, as the original selling dealer in san antonio, TX, to ask them to include our vehicle in the queue, should parts become available. In the meantime, the vehicle sits in my garage, somewhere in bureaucratic no-mans-land. While I would prefer to have the recall completed, I am not concerned about driving the vehicle and accept that responsibility. Are you aware of other owners who have had similar experience and have they been able to resolve the issue? or, can you suggest an alternate course of action that may lead to a resolution?.

Takata recall. No remedy available apparently.

Takata recall. A recall was issued in February 2016 for my vehicle. I was notified by Audi of the recall in April. I contacted the dealer then and was told there were no parts available. I contacted Audi west houston again on June 27, 2016 and was told the only remedy to me was a discount on a new car. I was told this by a salesman and by the general sales manager. I contacted Audi customer service on June 29, 2016, and they said there were no parts available and they did not have any idea when they would be available. They said I could continue to drive the car since no Audi or vw had experienced an air-bag failure. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and would like it repaired. I don't think it's right that Audi has not repaired a single vehicle under this recall nor can they estimate when they will begin repairing these vehicles. Why does someone have to be killed in an Audi/vw before they are forced to provide repairs or alternative transportation. Their approach seems to be to "wait it out" and hope that people will just be forced to buy another vehicle from them under an "incentive" program that is completely inadequate. I don't know why I should be forced to buy another Audi simply to avoid driving an unsafe vehicle. I would rather have them disable the airbag than take the chance that it explodes.
