Description of the problem	My complaint is regarding the glacial pace which audi has taken to remedy the recall associated with my automobile. We were provided with a temporary fix that replaced the original airbag inflation device with a new one that has the same problem in april of 2016. I first contacted audi on may 3rd. Of 2017 to inquire about the status of a permanent repair for a faulty, and potentially deadly, airbag in my 2006 audi a3 and no parts were available at the time. I contacted them again today, october 16th 2018 and there are still no parts available to complete the repair. This is all well after i was initially notified of the recall to begin with. It will have been years since this recall was put in place by the time i receive a permanent fix while my wife drives our two children around in a car with a potentially lethal airbag in it. I'm shocked and disgusted by the lack of urgency that audi has displayed in neglecting to fix my car as well as, what i imagine, are thousands of other audi owners waiting on a fix while driving a death trap. Something needs to be done to force audi's hand and complete the recall repairs they are beholden to.

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.
