| Description of the problem | Takata recall, my audi has the driver side airbag recall. The one that has been known to deploy and kill people. I am very upset with audi and made it very clear to them of how upset i am and they could care less. It has been over a year since audi drivers were made aware of this safety recall. Audi has given no solution to their drivers and could care less about the safety of their drivers. I was told over the summer the part would be repaired by fall. It is now february and spoke to someone today who said they have no clue when it will be in and my only option is to trade the car in for a more expensive car. This offer is only available on new cars!! What a scam!! Force clients to trade in their car, not getting fair market value for the trade, and spend more money all so we can be safe!!! I have now read an article that states these recalls may not all be replaced till 2020!! I am pregnant with twins in a car that is essentially a death trap!! We are trying to get rid of this car which should sell for 10k over what a dealership will even touch it for on trade in. It has been well over the reasonable time for this safety recall. Dealerships should be forced to buy back these cars at fair market value and deal with it!!! It would be a lot cheaper then the numerous law suits that will happen if i get in a car accident or someone else for that matter!! They are offering zero help to their customers and should be ashamed of their selves!! The fact that this has been known about since 2004 and these disgusting companies are putting peoples lives at risk is disgraceful!! This issue needs to be resolved in a timely manner and i am demanding a solution!! Buy back my car or fix it within 1 month!! Don't gamble with the lives of your customers!! |
