This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Audi A6. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V382000 (air bags). The dealer was unable to determine when the part would become available to receive the repair. The manufacturer was unable to provide an appropriate time frame to supply the part to the dealer. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall: I have been waiting months for a remedy. The recall was in may, and this is August. I cannot drive with a passenger in my car, and this is very inconvenient.

My 2008 Audi A6 avant has had an air bag warning light appear 3 times in 2 years. Each time it gives error codes for it's center, rear seat belt. I was told that this means that the restraint may not work effectively in the event of a crash or abrupt stop. It has happened at 12,983 miles, at 29,000 miles and now at 39,000 miles. Nobody should use it until it is fixed. 1st time Audi did gff test steps and cleared code, second time they replaced the seat belt itself. Now they believe it to be an electrical system issue.
