2006 Audi A3 Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1477966

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Takata recall. Nhtsa recall number 16v079. Audi action code 69n2. Recall start date feb 09, 2016. My issue is that i have been waiting for an "interim repair" for my defective takata airbag inflator for 2 years 4 months and 20 days at the date of writing this complaint. I drive myself and my family in my vehicle, and according to the audi national customer service representative i spoke with, it is both my passenger and driver airbag inflators that need to be replaced. This is extremely concerning as i drive my family in my vehicle. The lack of information audi has been able to give to me regarding when parts will be available has led me here. Quite frankly, i have run out of patience, as i'm driving a vehicle that can potentially cause my family and myself harm/death, where the device (inflator/airbag) should be keeping us safe. There is no waiting list to be added to for the parts, and the lack of any specificity of when the parts will be available is beyond absurd, especially since i've been waiting and calling them every so often for more than 2 years now. I have called all of the local audi dealerships in my area for information regarding the takata recall and part availability, along with the audi national number, all to no avail or any specificity of getting this problem addressed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
