Takata recall our passenger air bag was recalled in may 2016, and Audi informed us in july 2016 of the recall. The defect has not been fixed, which has caused hardship for our family of four, for whom this car is the main mode of transportation. We purchased this car used in 2011. We contacted Audi of north america, who would not give us a rental car or tell us when our car would be repaired.
Takata recall in effect on my vehicle at least a year or more with no further contact by Audi or my local dealer to replace the air bags.

Takata recall. There have been 2 separate recalls for this car both involving the air bags. The first one, in feb 2016 was for the air bag on the drivers side; the second was for the passenger's air bag in may 2016. It's now december 2016 and my local Audi dealer still does not have a remedy for either one. According to them, the only solution is to not drive the car until they can fix it. How am I supposed to do that? How can I have a car that I can't drive? In addition, they cannot offer a loaner car since they have no idea when they will have the parts to fix it and won't commit to offering a loaner indefinitely. I also called the Audi corporate offices and they told me that it's up to the local dealers to take care of any other arrangements beyond the actual fixing of the problem. Ne
Takata recall. This recap was announced may 2016. I received a letter from Audi in june. It is now december 2016 and there has been no further contact from the manufacturer. The letter states not to allow a person to sit in the passenger seat. Most of my driving is alone to work. But my father was recently diagnosed with cancer and I am not able to take him to treatment. I called dublin ohio dealer to ask for a loaner car for a couple of hours twice a month. No cooperation. No path forward. No schedule for remedy. Nothing. My car might as well be a one seated car. *tr
Takata recall. This vehicle has been located and driven in the state of texas from august 2011 thru february 2016. It was relocated to illinois in february 2016 and the recalled for takata airbag danger in may 2016. This recall process has been an unethical and immoral process with irresponsible delays and lethal possibilities. This situation must be rectified immediately regardless of consequences to the manufacturer.
Takata recall: the recall notice was issued in july. 2016. As of dec. 2016 no repairs have been possible, nor parts available until "the spring". The passenger seat is unsafe for use, rendering the auto extremely dysfunctional for at least 9+ months. Inexcusable!
Takata recall. I received a notice in march of 2017 of a recall on my vehicle for the takata passenger frontal airbag. Ten months later, repair is not available nor have I been notified when parts will become available. This has caused undue hardship. My dealer has offered no compensation in the form of a loaner or other assistance.
I accidentally drove over the rumble strip on the side of the highway. The right rear tire blew and the car flipped over six times and changed direction. Every side air bag inflated excepted for my side, the driver's side air bag. The front air bag did not deploy either. My a4 was completely destroyed except for where I was sitting. When the first responders came they did not expect for me to be alive and the accident was classified as a level 2 trauma. I hit my head on the driver's side window and suffered a major concussion with a hematoma. I also had major facial lacerations, a broken nose, broken ribs, and a severe bone bruise on my knee. Audi sent an inspector to the car after the accident and his conclusion was there was not enough impact on the side of the car even thou

Have been waiting for replacement airbag.. Car is in storage and cannot be driven or sold untill recalled part is replaced
Takata recall according to the Audi web site, this recall has been open since may 26, 2016, with no remedy available yet. Six months seems like an excessive amount of time to address a serious safety issue. I am unable to have anyone ride in the passenger seat, for fear of their injury or death in the event of an accident, and the possible personal liability related to this.
Takata recall the recall was initiated on jan. 11, 2017, and the current status (as of nov. 15, 2017) is that a remedy is not yet available. Nothing has happened yet, but it seems that 10 months is more than adequate between notice and allowing me to have it repaired.
Takata recall: I'm told that the remedy is not available my dealer still doesn't have the necessary part to make the repair
Takata recall there is an open recall for my checked frontal passenger airbags but the manufacturer has yet to provide a free remedy for these defective airbags. I would like the replacement of these air bags for free before the recall case is closed.
powertrain 2 complaints shown
Accelerator pedal stuck at wide open throttle. Had to shut the ignition off and pull over and restart the car and it went back to normal. Googled the net and found that many people encountered the same problem. *kb
When coming to a complete stop, the car shudders while going into 2nd and 1st gear as if someone has just rear ended the car. Took the Audi to an authorized dealer in my area and findings are that it is the mechatronic that is defective. Finding is that is a very common problem and Audi is not taking any action after contacting aoa. Repair cost is $2700. *tr

Sensors (1) the sensor for rear light keeps coming on and off (2) stability sensor is on for no apparent reason (3) oil light is on despite having oil in the car (4) car eats oil (5) it is impossible to change the driver side right headlight bulb (6) mechanics and dealers overcharge for parts and service not only in the us but also in australia $500 for bulb, $300 for oil change, $200 per hour labor. This is more expensive than getting a head transplant.
tires 1 complaint shown
All four TPMS sensors need replacing along with new tires. Right side motor mount is leaking fluid, and wipers streak. 80,616 mileage. In 2012 I bought new tires, wipers and regular oil changes. I'm disappointed that now I'm faced with a leaking motor mount. I take very good care of my car, I shouldn't have these major repair issues.
