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. …

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 based on entering my VIN number into your very helpful website, the recall was issued May 27, 2016. Three months later and there is still no remedy available. Specifically, "remedy: repair solution pending" and "recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available". This is unacceptable. Audi need to resolve as soon as possible, before more people who trusted Audi are killed by this defective Takata airbag. Thank you for your time.

Numerous calls have been made to both the Audi USA number as wells to Audi honolulu @ [phone]. 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
