Description of the problem	Takata recall - been awaiting "parts" since 5/27/2016. It is now 1/18/2017. Recall states "inflator could rupture ... After long-term exposure to absolute high humidity and temperature cycling". My vehicle will be 12 years old in 3 months and i live in "hotlanta" ga ("high humidity" is the norm here). I've "avoid(ed) use of the front passenger seat" for 8 months now. Our family has grown and now this is not possible any longer. Spoke to audi usa today (i call them regularly) and they state they still have no idea on parts availability as "nhtsa is determining the priority of repairs". How my vehicle is not a priority is beyond my comprehension. Eight months on a waiting list for a remedy is beyond my comprehension. I had to buy a larger car to fit my growing family and it is now beyond my moral capability to sell this defective vehicle "which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants" and be able to sleep at night. Audi is a big corporation, takata is a big corporation and nhtsa is a big government entity but, i know human beings must still work at both places and somebody, somewhere has apparently decided my life and the lives of my family are somehow not a priority. Eight months without a definitive fix date on a car that's got to be a ticking time bomb at 12 years old in the humid south (yet winters with temps below freezing aka "temperature cycling")... Fix it or require audi to buy it back a-la vw diesel fiasco.

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.
