Takata recall Audi has not provided a remedy 10 months after the recall. We are driving an unsafe and dangerous vehicle. Audi shall replace the car until fix is completed.
- Houston, TX, USA
We received a notice from Audi in April that our vehicle was recalled due to faulty air bags. After further investigation, we learned that the recall was actually announced on February 10, 2016. As of today, September 19, 2016 no remedy had been provided by Audi. When we discussed options with the dealership where we bought the vehicle, Audi boulder, they described the car as a "death trap". their only solution was for us to buy a new car from them. We do not feel safe driving this car until the situation is resolved and will be exploring all options to get this matter resolved.

Takata recall. I live in a zone a high risk area with high heat and humidity (Hawaii) for the takata airbag to spontaneously explode or explode as a result of an accident, and Audi has, as of yet, not provided any solution for a loaner car or rental car to address the risk of injury or fatality in driving the 2011 Audi Q5. I have contacted Audi usa and Audi Hawaii, and neither wants to take responsibility or ownership for the problems with the takata airbag recall, and thus far, have offered no solutions....updated 04/20/17

On Friday Aug. 12 2016, I paid a visit to jim ellis Audi (Audi atlanta) on 5805 peachtree blvd, atlanta, ga 30341. I was looking to purchase a used 2014 SQ5. I currently have a 2011 Q5 2.0T. I was informed due to the takata airbag recall on my vehicle, they were only going to send the vehicle off to auction, because they did not want to be bothered with the recall and the owner jim ellis had directed them to send vehicles with the airbag recall straight to auction without fixing the recalled airbag.

Takata recall I work for a dealership we sell Audi's I finally have Q5's to sell at a good price to the consumer, however this recall is killing the sale because our parts department can not get replacement parts for the air bag however a Honda dealer a half mile away has done over 30 replacements. How do you get the parts I have gone on line talked to several people and have no clue when we are getting replacement air bags some people say 1 to 3 years and that is not exceptable.
