2006 Audi A6 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Audi A6. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V427000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I HAVE BEEN SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS TO RECTIFY AN OPEN AIRBAG RECALL THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERS. NONE OF THE DEALERS BOTH IN OXNARD, CA AND RANCHO MIRAGE, CA HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH. I ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR 3/11/2019 FOR THE OXNARD, CA LOCATION, AND THE LATEST COUPLE WERE FOR LAST AND THIS MONTH THROUGH THE AUDI IN RANCHO MIRAGE, CA. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY OF THOSE OF MY FAMILY, AS THE RECALL POINTS OUT THAT A METAL MESH WOULD DEPLOY ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG CAUSING POTENTIAL DEATH. AT THIS POINT, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF AUDI OF AMERICA WAS TO PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BACK.

TAKATA RECALL. I JUST FOUND OUT MY CAR HAS A IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING FAULTY AIR BAGS. I CALLED AUDI TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIX AND THEY HAVE TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG CLAIM AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE JUST YET, I TOLD THEM THIS COULD PUT MY FAMILY IN RISK AND I NEEDED A CLEAR TIME FRAME OF WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAGS, THEY SAID ONE TO TWO YEARS WE DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE AUDI DO NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. I TOLD THE AUDI REPRESENTATIVE THAT THEY ARE ACTING LIKE IT WAS AN INSIGNIFICANT FAULTY PART OF THE VEHICLE WHAT IT'S FAULTY AND NOT A LIFE SAVER COMPONENT. SO THEY TOLD ME IS NOT THEIR FAULT IT IS THE MANUFACTURES FAULT AND IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HUNG UP AND CALL AN AUDI DEALERSHIP TO ORDER NEW AIRBAGS FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL, AND THEY PROVIDED PRICE AND A FEW DAYS FOR DELIVERY. HOW IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS THEN?? AUDI IS GAMBLING WITH MY FAMILY SAFE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ABSORB THE COST AT FRONT OF REPLACING A FAULTY PART ON THEIR VEHICLES, BECAUSE THEY SAID IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURE AND I RELIED ON AUDI TO CHECK THE PARTS THEY PUT ON THEIR VEHICLES. I APPRECIATE THE HELPS YOU GUYS CAN PROVIDE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL, NO REMEDY YET. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V032. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER -69P6

TAKATA AIRBAG - IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND AUDI HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A CAR THAT CANNOT ACCOMMODATE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY. AUDI REFUSES TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND THEY HAVE NO TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. AS ALWAYS, THE CONSUMER IS LEFT HOLDING THE BAG FOR THE CORPORATION. HOW IS THIS RIGHT?

TAKATA RECALL THE PROBLEM WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY CONFIRMED FOR YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST NOTICE FROM AUDI IN THE TIME WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR (OVER ONE YEAR). HOW IS IT THAT THEY CAN CASUALLY SUGGEST THAT, "AUDI RECOMMENDS AVOIDING USE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHENEVER POSSIBLE UNTIL THE THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED.", AND STATE THAT THE USE MAY RESULT, "IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.", WITHOUT OFFERING AN IMMEDIATE REMEDY. THOUGH TEN YEARS OLD, THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND THERE IS NO OTHER REMEDY OFFERED THAN TO STOP DRIVING IT?? THE GOVERNMENT HAS FACILITATED AN AGREEMENT REGARDING EMISSIONS WITH VW/AUDI AND YET YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING IN THIS CASE TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DEATH. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THIS RECALL TO BE IMPLEMENTED? IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME ALREADY AND YET THEY OFFER NO TIME LINE TO A SAFE USABLE VEHICLE. PLEASE, USE YOUR POWERS TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 8/2/2016 DATED JULY 2018. IT IS DANGEROUS RIDING IN PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND THEY HAVE NO DATE AS TO WHEN REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT OFFER LOANER CAR IN INTERIM.
