Description of the problem	Takata recall - i was made aware of the takata airbag recall via usps postal mail service in april of 2016 by audi of america inc. Located at 3800 hamlin road, auburn hills mi 48326. Since then, i have made multiple inquiries to audi service departments as to how long it would take for my airbag replacement. Each time i was told that as soon as the parts were available, i would be informed and asked to bring in my vehicle for service. At this point, i am experiencing anxiety when driving my vehicle and decided that i would trade it in for a new vehicle in order to feel safe while on the road. While at the farmington hills dealership, i was informed that the value of my trade-in would only be $12,000 because they are not able to resell the vehicle due to the faulty airbags. As a consequence, any vehicle that i purchase would have a $10,000 debt rolled in because of the difference between my trade-in value and the balance of my existing car loan. If someone is to experience financial damages as a result of the faulty airbags, it should be takata and not me as a consumer. I am requesting that audi take my trade-in at its full value [not take the faulty airbags into consideration] and i am submitting this complaint in the hopes that we can arrive at a mutually beneficial outcome (where i am not responsible for the fact that the car cannot be resold) and avoid additional or further litigation.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
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.
