Takata inflators I received a recall letter April 2016 stating my vehicle has a potentially deadly driver side airbag. I have contacted Audi of jacksonville fl who confirmed the letter and stated they can't give me a date when my vehicle will be repaired. They refuse to supply a rental vehicle or to take any further action to remedy my situation. My daughter normally drives this vehicle and I now must watch it depreciate while it sits in my driveway. My other vehicle is a 2011chevy Suburban which has also been recalled for the takata air bag VIN [xxx]. I'm in potential danger and have been severely limited in driving and am losing value on both vehicles. I tried private attorneys who seem to only be handling actual damage and injuries. Please advise me where I can further pursue action. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall - my car was delivered in shreveport, la and I bought it after it had been in service for 2 1/2 years in that humid envirnment. I have it home in Santa Fe, nm - a dry environment. I can not get an answer as to any priority I might have since the psdi-5 non-dessicated inflator in my car had been in a humid environment for an extended period. I am not driving the car - it is unsafe for me.

Takata recall. I got a letter from Audi on 4/27/2106. The letter is attached. Please ignore my notes. It stated my car was being recalled due to a defective front airbag made by takata. Parts are unavailable and no knows when they will be. I called Audi and they said they would not be providing rental cars to their customers. I called 2 dealers in columbus, Ohio and they would not provide rental cars as this is a manufacturers defect. Meanwhile I am screwed. I and all the other impacted Audi owners have to drive an unsafe car. This is terrible. I could use your help to get Audi to do the right thing.
