Steering Linkages Problems of Audi Quattro

Control arms for the front suspension fail frequently. On 2/29/04 a control arm broke while pulling out of my driveway. I have replaced 7 so far, with 2 more needing to be done. Some are on the second time in the 1. 5 years I have owned the car. There were 4 other same model cars in the shop for the same thing that day. This is a common problem that is dangerous and is known by Audi, or should be known by them. At times, you can't get the part because they fail so frequently. My shop recommended filing a complaint because it is a dangerous situation and he sees it every day. At $200 a control arm, it gets very expensive.

I received a recall notice from alldata #99v248000, I took my car to the dealer to get the replacement and they told me the car is not covered, however I do need tie rods. Because of the seriousness of the failure I feel Audi should cover my car, as this is an out of the ordinary replacement for the miles on the car and other cars have needed the same thing. Is my car not covered? how come Audi says one thing and alldata and NHTSA say something else. What is my recourse? who do I contact? could I get in an accident if I don't fix these immediately?.
