1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2017

Takata recall there has been a recall on the airbag inflators for quite some time. Apparently there is still not a remedy for my specific vehicle. I do not feel safe using my vehicle as I typically have to carry passengers. They need to fix my car!.

2 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2017

Takata recall attempts to have the inflator replaced at two Audi dealerships have failed. I've received two recall letters stating the parts are available. I also attempted to reach Audiusa at 800-253-2834 and after waiting a half hour my call was dropped. I'm seeking direction on how to get an Audi dealership to honor the recall. Thank you!.

Takata inflator recall I have called Audi of westwood - prime motor group - in westwood MA many times ove the past year to get an appointment. They say they will call back when they get the part. It has been more than a year and still no repair. I am driving an unsafe car and Audi of westwood does nothing. I want my airbag repaired.

4 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2007

Takata recall -I find this extremely disturbing that a risk as the recall states "in the event of an inflator rupture, in very rare cases metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants. " the part that I find disturbing is that there is no replacement part available at this time and no loaner cars are being provided nor an alternative other than the recommendation of not having a passenger sit in the vehicle. I have paid a lot of money for my car, and it is very well maintained by Audi dealership. It seems unjust that no matter how good I have cared for and put into my vehicle, it is still and has always been unsafe?I am not in a position where I can hold off on carrying any passengers in the front seat. I am a mother of 2 ( a 15 year old and 7 year old) and I also share carpool with another parent where I have no choice but to use my front seat. Besides that, I do not think it is right for Audi to suggest how to use their car that they have invested in without a fair accommodation. I do not have an "extra" car that I can drive around as an alternate and even if I did, how fair would it be for Audi to ask me not to drive it, if I plan to have passengers in my car, or how fair is it for me to ask my friends and family to sit in the back seat?! this is ridiculous. I plan to be compensated. Audi should hope that nothing terrible happens to anyone. I had plans for my daughter to take over this car. She will be 16 soon and has been learning to drive in this Audi, and now I may have to purchase a different car for her because this Audi is unsafe. Might I add, I may even have to hold off teaching her to drive under her CA. Driver's permit because I am no longer to sit in the passenger seat? this is ridiculous, you have no idea how you affect people's lives, as long as Audi keeps making money.
