TAKATA RECALL. NUMEROUS CALLS HAVE BEEN PLACED TO AUDI USA WITH ONLY THE PROMISE OF HAVING THE DEALER CLOSEST TO ME CONTACT ME. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED.

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 $820.00 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 $1,640.00 PLUS THE TIME WITHOUT MY VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS RECALL COMPLETED

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 $392.00. 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.
