Takata recall

- San Diego, CA, USA

Takata recall: I received the takata recall 69N1 for takata sdi driver frontal airbag for my 2012 Audi Q5. The recall notice also notifies me that a recall repair is not yet available due to unavailable parts. Audi of America informed me that they are not loaning out vehicles to those affected by the recall since not Audi vehicles world wide have not had a injury or death due to the airbag. I do not want to be the first Audi death or injury due to the airbag especially since I like in a very humid area (central Alabama) which I have been told that the airbags are more likely to deploy broken in humid areas. I do not feel safe driving my car. I cannot spend months crossing my fingers that I will not get in an accident while waiting for parts. I would like a car available for me to drive. Thank you.

Takata recall. I own a 2012 Audi Q5. I drive my 2 young children to school in my Audi and have no other alternative mode of transportation. I feel incredibly nervous and in danger driving my children and myself in such an unsafe vehicle. Audi refuses to give me a loaner vehicle and has no time frame as to when repairs may be done. I contacted Audi headquarters and my local dealer several times voicing my safety concern. I was told by both parties that each other were to blame for the lack of resolution. It's unbelievable to me, that Audi, being an expensive luxury brand, would give me such a run around and have no protocol on how to handle this takata recall situation. It's shocking how blatantly Audi has no regard for their customers safety. My husband's vehicle, Acura TL 2012 had the same recall. Acura dealer instructed my husband to stop driving the car immediately and provided a loaner for concern of my husbands safety. Within 2 months, they fixed the vehicle and all is well. It was a painless experience he greatly appreciated. I expected the same fair treatment from Audi being a premier luxury car brand. I don't understand why Audi doesn't feel any obligation to ensure the safety of their customers. All I'm asking for is a safe vehicle to drive until they can repair my Q5. It is a huge disappointment. I hope you can help remedy my desperate concern. Thank you.

*** takata recall *** I am filing a complaint with NHTSA because I feel I am driving a, so to speak, "loaded gun." I find it completely irresponsible that my vehicle maker, Audi, as well as takata, have not reached out to me regarding a very serious defect in my car. As you are well aware, this is a problem that has led to serious harm and death, yet, by sheer coincidence, I just so happened to stumble upon this story and find that my car is one of the affected. To make matters worse, I find out that there is no remedy to this problem. Neither takata nor Audi are taking measures to get my car off the road protecting me and my family.
