| Description of the problem | We received a notice from audi in april that our vehicle was recalled due to faulty air bags. After further investigation, we learned that the recall was actually announced on february 10, 2016. As of today, september 19, 2016 no remedy had been provided by audi. When we discussed options with the dealership where we bought the vehicle, audi boulder, they described the car as a "death trap". Their only solution was for us to buy a new car from them. We do not feel safe driving this car until the situation is resolved and will be exploring all options to get this matter resolved. |
