2011 AUDI A5 CABRIOLET Air Bags Problems

TAKATA RECALL. AUDI OF AMERICA INC. KEEPS SENDING OUT RECALL NOTICES AND THE DEALER KEEPS CLAIMING THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AVAILABLE. ENOUGH ALREADY, EITHER MAKE REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE OR STOP SENDING NOTICES.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALL FOR THE PAST YEAR TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN AUDI DEALERSHIP THAT HAS THE PARTS. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY WILL CALL WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN. AS I MENTIONED IT HAS BEEN A YEAR, AND I HAVE CHECKED IN WITH THEM SEVERAL TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED 1ST LETTER APR 2016. NO ACTION. COMPLAINT FILED WITH SAFERCAR.GOV 11/13/2016. RECEIVED TEMP FIX LETTER 8/14/2017. LOCAL DEALER SAYS ONLY TEMP BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS ANYWAY. CONTACTED CORPORATE AUDI SEP 2017. THEY SAY LOCAL DEALER HAS PARTS. LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS. RECEIVED CARD FOR RECALL 11/13/2017. LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS! ??? RUN-AROUND ???

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 11 MONTHS AND PER CONVERSATION WITH MY DEALER TODAY, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS OR ANY IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE.

TAMARA RECALL. MY CAR WAS RECALLED IN APRIL AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE EXCEPT THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW ABOUT HAVING THE DEALER DISABLE THE AIRBAG UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE!

TAKATA RECALL IT AS BEEN 8 MONTHS SINCE THE NOTIFICATION, AND MY WIFE MUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH A LIFE THREATENING AIRBAG DEFECT.....THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

"TAKATA RECALL" I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WHILE THERE IS A RECALL IN EFFECT THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS CAR EITHER. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY AUTOMOBILE THAT I AM DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL THE DEALER/ MANUFACTURER HAS NOT OFFERED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS-- THEY CLAIM THE REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. NHTSA SHOWS MY CAR, LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA IS AT HIGH RISK AND REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY DECEMBER 2016
