Numerous calls have been made to both the Audi usa number as wells to Audi honolulu @ 808-206-7404. They insist that they will not install the replacement airbag unless I pay $820 each way to ship my vehicle to honolulu to have said repair made. I did not have anything to do with the airbag being defective in my Audi and do not think its fair that to fix this problem, I have T pay $1,640 plus the time without my vehicle to have this recall completed

Takata recall since this recall notified us at the beginning of 2017, we have not heard much about getting this issue rectified. It is ridiculous that this is acceptable considering the risk that may come about. This is my wife's car.

Takata recall: Audi says that NHTSA is not distributing front passenger airbags to Audi. It has been 6 months since I was notified of the problem. Meanwhile I am not supposed to use the passenger seat (!) leaving me with kinda half a car. Is there anything that can be done to speed up my replacement, or compensate me for loss of full use of the car?

Takata recall - the nearest Audi dealer is 125 miles away. I have a recall notice but have spent approximately $6,000 on electrical problems in vain and cannot trust the car to make it to the dealer to repair the airbag.. then there is the problem of trusting the airbag in the time I drive to the nearest dealer not with standing the air bag problem alone. In regard to the electrical failures, I was nearly run over by a semi at freeway speed when the engine suddenly stopped. The problem comes and goes like a ghost is involved and nobody has been able to properly repair it. At one mechanical shop I lost a windshield and at another I lost a taillight with replace cost over $392. What can I do with all of the above considered? I cannot sell the car due to safety concerns for the next owner and have suffered a large depreciation. This problem can occur anytime but most often when going across a speed bump or upon a rough street. It has happened many times over the past three years. The date I give below is best guess.

Takata airbag recall - six months after Audi's notice of potential fatal consequences was received by this original owner, and Audi's recommendation that for safety reasons the front passenger seat not be occupied, we called Audi "customer experience", as recommended on the notice, if there were any concerns. After inquiring about the delay in remediation, the Audi representative told us that this is a 'low risk' recall, and that parts are not yet available'. please reply as to what action the government will be taking to push for a resolution of this issue ' meaning our specific Audi.

Takata recall. When is this recall going to be completed? I basically have a one person car since no one can sit on passenger side. Until fix is made I cannot get fair market value of my car, and will not sell it to an unknowing person. Nobody seems to be doing anything about the problem. I want my car fixed!
