Description of the problem	I purchased this vehicle on september 1st 2016. When i found out it has airbag problems i went back to the dealer and told them that audi did not have remedy to fix the airbags on october 2016. I had an open heart surgery in 2013 and driving in the vehicle with defected airbags was not an option. I traded this vehicle at the same dealership and lost my trade in value of $9000. Someone has to be responsible for this and i think if dealership cannot recoup my loss of $9000, than audi should reimburse me for my loss. I was couldn't take a chance to drive in unsafe vehicle and wait till now to replace airbags. I was not disclosed at the time of sale that there was no remedy available from manufacturer to fix airbags in 10/2016. I have my initial contract for vehicle purchase. I do not have this vehicle in my possession any longer and traded in on another at the same dealership.
