Description of the problem	Takata inflators i received a recall letter april 2016 stating my vehicle has a potentially deadly driver side airbag. I have contacted audi of jacksonville fl who confirmed the letter and stated they can't give me a date when my vehicle will be repaired. They refuse to supply a rental vehicle or to take any further action to remedy my situation. My daughter normally drives this vehicle and i now must watch it depreciate while it sits in my driveway. My other vehicle is a 2011chevy suburban which has also been recalled for the takata air bag vin [xxx]. I'm in potential danger and have been severely limited in driving and am losing value on both vehicles. I tried private attorneys who seem to only be handling actual damage and injuries. Please advise me where i can further pursue action. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
