Takata recall. I received a notice in March of 2017 of a recall on my vehicle for the takata passenger frontal airbag. Ten months later, repair is not available nor have I been notified when parts will become available. This has caused undue hardship. My dealer has offered no compensation in the form of a loaner or other assistance.

Takata recall the recall was initiated on Jan. 11, 2017, and the current status (as of Nov. 15, 2017) is that a remedy is not yet available. Nothing has happened yet, but it seems that 10 months is more than adequate between notice and allowing me to have it repaired.

A4

Takata recall is directly responsible for me driving a potentially deadly car over 70,000 miles and 10 years. To add insult to injury or death, the deadly defect has only been acknowledged in the last 18 months and there has been no remedy during this time, the idea that I have to be dead or permanently maimed, to qualify for litigation/compensation, is what make this dangerous situation deadly. It was attempted manslaughter until the delay in admittance of a deadly defect and now has become attempted murder with the delay of an immediate remedy. I request compensation of $100,000 per year for every year I have owned my vehicle with this takata airbag deadly defect.

Takata recall - I have now had two official notices that my car is under recall, but the Audi dealer in sf (royal auto group) still says they don't have parts and can't fix it. Additionally, they won't give me a loaner while I wait. This means I am driving an incredibly unsafe car around simply because bureaucracy is getting in the way of fixing it.
