| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I have received numerous notices from audi and the secretary of state's office that my a3 is recalled for the airbag replacement. I have been trying to schedule this since june with audi of kalamazoo, my local dealer. They schedule appointments for this 6 weeks out. They have twice cancelled my appointment the day before the service saying that they can't get the parts. I have been able to schedule an appointment with another dealer who report that they have not had such trouble getting the parts. Audi of kalamazoo's delay tactics have unnecessarily put my family at risk. |
