Description of the problem | Takata recall- i was first informed of this recall in march even though the recall for my car started in january. Since, i have received no notification from audi of the status of repair. Given the direction of audi, we are not able to use the front passenger seat which makes the car unable to accommodate the specified passengers and the value of the car has plunged. In addition, i have been unable to sell my car given the above. How can i sell a car that has the potential of "metal fragments could pass through the airbag material,which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants." now that i reread the recall notice, i realize that the recall suggests multiple people could die which means others in the car are at risk. There needs to be compensation for the loss of use, loss of value and inability to sell this car. |
