| Description of the problem | Takata recall: i received the takata recall 69n1 for takata sdi driver frontal airbag for my 2012 audi q5. The recall notice also notifies me that a recall repair is not yet available due to unavailable parts. Audi of america informed me that they are not loaning out vehicles to those affected by the recall since not audi vehicles world wide have not had a injury or death due to the airbag. I do not want to be the first audi death or injury due to the airbag especially since i like in a very humid area (central alabama) which i have been told that the airbags are more likely to deploy broken in humid areas. I do not feel safe driving my car. I cannot spend months crossing my fingers that i will not get in an accident while waiting for parts. I would like a car available for me to drive. Thank you. |
