40 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/27/2016

Takata recall: after receiving the recall notice in may 2016, I contacted Audi in September 2016 to find out the progress on resolving the airbag issue. They indicated that they had no solution and no timeframe for a solution. As of December 10, 2016, that still appears to be the case. I am concerned because the vehicle is 8 years old and we live near the coast in florida. As I understand it, the recall priority is based partly on vehicle age and humiditiy in the area where the vehicle is used. I am trying to get some idea as to when this will be resolved. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Harold small, jr. 7108 ashland glen lakewood ranch, FL 34202 hismalljr@aol. Com.

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.
