Audi has taken no action to remedy the recall on May 27, 2016 for the passenger side air bag (16V382). I have contacted both my local dealership and and Audi of America and their response was to continue to wait. I also have a seat belt locking mechanism that had it's plastic covering fall off. I asked for a warranty or good will repair, but was declined due to the age of the car.

Audi is taking too long to come up with a fix for the 2005 Audi A4's that have been recalled due to unsafe passenger-side airbags. Example: [xxx] has been recalled but the listing on NHTSA says that no remedy is available. This is unsafe and unfair to customers. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

"takata recall" received letter warning of serious injury or death, and to avoid use of front passenger seat until recall is performed. Audiusa, and specifically Audi san diego has informed me to continue use of the car because "as to date no issues have occured with Audi." (GM san diego Audi). This is my husband's and my only vehicle; he drives me to work daily and with bad back front seat is only option. Is Audi waiting for first death in order to offer remedies such as Honda, BMW, Mazda, etc. Refused by both dealership and audiusa to offer rental car during recall.

2005 Audi A4 quattro was serviced at dealership in nashville tn for a recall of coil packs. Afterward the air bag warning light appeared. The car was serviced for the air bag and a switch under the seat was replaced at my expense. Two weeks later the air bag light re-appeared. The dealer states that a new sensor is necessary. A search on the internet revealed that many Audi owners are experiencing problems with the air bag sensor. This is a defective safety part and should be recalled by Audi.

The air bag warning light activated approx. Mid January, 2009. There were no events leading to this failure. Since the light originally turned on, it has been continually on, indicating a problem with the vehicles airbag. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, where technicians described this problem as a normal occurrence in the 2005 Audi A4's. he stated that this has occurred so frequently that he knew the problem before hooking the vehicle up to diagnostic equipment. This was also confirmed with the service department assistant manager.
