The negligent driver yielded to the flow of traffic without stopping. When he collided with us, the airbags (exploded) deployed so strongly that they damaged the windshield and our bodies: face, neck, etc. Our beloved Audi A4 2009 was totaled and after that we had several operations: 2 eye operations (need 2 more), dental surgeries, 3 neck surgeries . . . Multiple unpaid medical expenses.

Failure Date: 01/24/2019

Takata recall -- since October 2018, I have been receiving messages from Audi that the repair is available and that I should schedule an appointment immediately for my safety and the safety of my family. Since then, I have made several appointments with my local dealer only to have each of them canceled due to the airbag being on backorder or otherwise unavailable. On January 24, I called both my local dealer, Audi eatontown, and Audi customer experience. The former told me that there isn't a single replacement airbag in NJ while the latter then extended the lack of airbag replacements to the entire us.

Takata recall I waited one year for the driver's side part to come in. I lost out on driving this vehicle for entirely one year. Now there is a recall on the passenger side and I can't take any passengers until it is fixed.

26 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2016

Received recall notification at the beginning of April. I called both customer service and the auto manufacturer. Their response is that they do not have a timeline for the parts to come in and therefore, it will take time to repair or replace the air bags. Toyota dealt with this problem quickly. Why is it taking Audi so long to repair this defective air bag. What happens if I was to get in an accident and I injured due to this defective air bag and it wasn't replaced ASAP. Call to Audi customer service, spoke to judith and Audi manufacturer service spoke to adam. Both said that they had no timeline as when they will receive the parts and when they will repair the cars. This is totally unacceptable. The 60 days are long overdue.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Takata recall: I recently learned that both my driver side and passenger side takata airbags were recalled on my 2009 Audi A4. I have called and visited two dealerships in person and made over 5 phone calls to the manufacturer to try to get my vehicle's repair escalated, as my vehicle began it's "life" in florida, and humid regions are to be given priority, but to no avail. Audi, the manufacturer, has instructed me to talk directly to dealerships and the dealerships tell me to call Audi International. Both are pointing fingers at the other, and no one is doing anything to aid the situation. I have asked for repair, loaner vehicles, a buyback, and have met no results. I no longer want to drive my car, as I do not feel safe, and am saving up for my wedding, so my fiance and I are sharing our other, reliable and safe vehicle, at this time, which has proven difficult. I no longer feel comfortable driving my seven year old little brother around in my car, nor do I feel safe getting behind the wheel. I do not feel comfortable trying to sell my car to another consumer, knowing that it is not safe, and no replacement parts or repair solution is in sight. The dealer estimates January 2017 at best, but claims it's unlikely that takata will respond with parts even by then. We are left with no options except for owning and not driving an unsafe vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer refuse to take responsibility for the product that they should be able to stand behind. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Failure Date: 04/10/2016

Takata recall - I received a letter in April 2016, at least 6 weeks ago, about this recall, but the part is still not available at any NJ dealership to perform the repair. The Audi recall/service campaign lookup tool says that paul miller in parsippany has the part, but paul miller says that they do not and do not know when it will come in. I could not reach any person at the (800) number for Audi on the recall notice, (800) 253-2834; I could only leave a message which has yet to be returned. I chatted online this morning with someone at Audiusa. Com/contact us but there is no information as to when this part will be available; only an apology is offered. Please assist in getting the necessary part to a convenient Audi dealership. Thank you.
