Description of the problem	Takata recall: this has been known since february 9, 2016. I have not been notified until i went in almost 1 year after purchasing the vehicle to get my vehicle appraised and it wasn't even audi until i went there and was told to wait until there is a part for the airbags or if i feel that unsafe to trade it in for another vehicle. Which is also unfair because it's true trade-in value isn't $21,00-$24,000. So failure to notify owner and this is what i found online: "remedy: replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available " according to safercar. Gov this has become a growing safety issue for my passengers, pets, and myself. It is a disappointment and makes me not want to rely on audi and drive the vehicle i have purchased after working hard in earning it. They are taking quiet some time and should have thought of another alternative beside the obvious remedy: replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.

What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
