2011 Audi A5

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL IN APRIL OF 2016 AND IT IS NOW THE END OF OCTOBER 2016 AND WE HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING TIMING OF THE REPLACEMENT OR PLANS TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. ONLY WORD IS "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE". AS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT RECALL ISSUE WITH POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING CONSEQUENCES, I WOULD REQUEST THAT THIS GET ESCALATED.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2016 FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. NHTSA 16V078 I HAVE REPEATEDLY CHECK TO SEE WHEN REPAIR CAN BE MADE...NO ACTION AS OF TODAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI A5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS SAFETY RECALL-69N1 -TAKATA SDI DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG FOR MY VEHICLE, AND WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE AND NOR THEY HAVE ETA. SO AS IT IS DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, WE CANNOT RISK OUR LIVES BY DRIVING THAT VEHICLE, SO WE ASKED FOR LOANER AND AUDI DEALERSHIP SAID NO. SO AS I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND LOANER IS NOT AVAILABLE, SO WE WILL HAVE TO GET RENTAL, WHICH AGAIN WILL COST US, SO WE NEED COMPENSATION FOR RENTAL VEHICLE.
