Description of the problem	Takata recall. I got a letter from audi on 4/27/2106. The letter is attached. Please ignore my notes. It stated my car was being recalled due to a defective front airbag made by takata. Parts are unavailable and no knows when they will be. I called audi and they said they would not be providing rental cars to their customers. I called 2 dealers in columbus, ohio and they would not provide rental cars as this is a manufacturers defect. Meanwhile i am screwed. I and all the other impacted audi owners have to drive an unsafe car. This is terrible. I could use your help to get audi to do the right thing.
