Description of the problem | Takata recall - i have been trying to get my passenger airbag replaced since the recall was issued. I have been calling my local audi dealership in chantilly, va every month or so to check if the part is available, always get the same answer "someone will call you back" (they never do). I understand that takata went out of business but this is a safety issue and needs to be resolved by another manufacturer. My car at this moment is worthless, i will not be able to sell it with an open recall that has no remedy at this moment, nor can i have any passenger safely sit next to me. I am very disappointed with audi for handling this so poorly and for not having a solution. In the meanwhile i get takata airbag recall mailing remainders from audi about every other week, they make you think that the parts are available but they are not and for my older model car - a 2008 - they probably never will be. I will not buy another audi ever again. |
