Takata recall. I own both an Audi and a VW covered by the April 2016 recall. It's six months later and have heard absolutely nothing regarding replacement. I know that this is an enormous issue but would expect at a minimum a periodic update regarding the timeframe. Unlike the diesel issue, my life is at risk while operating these vehicles.

Takata recall why is the "remedy" for the driver airbag inflator not yet available? the recall date is a full 6 months old. This is preposterous when Audi and takata know the fix involves the installation of a new inflator...we have no incident (death or injury) to report at this time. How many deaths are needed to force the hand of takata and/or Audi?

What must be done for manufacturers to start honoring NHTSA recall # 16V078, I drive a vehicle that dealerships claim lacking of manufacturers procedure to address manufacturers recall # 69N1. I do drive the vehicle around and hate to be a statistic do to lack of a procedure implementation.

Takata recall: I find it completely unbelievable, scary and a huge lack of interest and consideration for the safety of drivers that the schedule for addressing the takata recall is so drawn out. I was notified in April of the recall and am now told that it will not be addressed until 2018. I have no choice but to drive my car to get to work, and every day I have to worry about whether or not the airbag is a liability and harmful to my life and that of my family's. it is inexcusable that a company is willing to take on that liability.

Takata recall: This has been known since February 9, 2016. I have not been notified until I went in almost 1 year after purchasing the vehicle to get my vehicle appraised and it wasn't even Audi until I went there and was told to wait until there is a part for the airbags or if I feel that unsafe to trade it in for another vehicle. Which is also unfair because it's true trade-in value isn't $21,00-$24,000. So failure to notify owner and this is what I found online: "remedy: Replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available " according to safercar.gov this has become a growing safety issue for my passengers, pets, and myself. It is a disappointment and makes me not want to rely on Audi and drive the vehicle I have purchased after working hard in earning it. They are taking quiet some time and should have thought of another alternative beside the obvious remedy: Replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.

Takata recall we got a communication from Audi in April 2016 that we will receive a follow-up letter on the next steps to get the airbag fixed. Two months later I got the exact same message from the dealer - "we do not not when you will receive the follow-up letter but it will be many months." This is not particularly useful since it is a critical safety issue. Looking from better guidance and communication from Audi usa and takata. Thanks.
