TAKATA RECALL - AUDI HAS NOT YET MADE A FIX AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. FORTUNATELY, NO INCIDENT TO REPORT. I WAS INSTRUCTED AT VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV TO REPORT THE LACK OF A TIMELY REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS CONCERNS NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V382, MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 69O2. THE WEBSITE REFLECTS THAT THE RECALL DATE WAS MAY 27, 2016. I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM AUDI DATED JULY 2016 ADVISING ME THAT "A RECALL REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE." AS OF AUGUST 24, 2016, THE NHTSA WEBSITE REFLECTS THAT "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I AM VERY CONCERNED BY THE ISSUE THAT LED TO THE SAFETY RECALL: THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG IS DESIGNED TO DEPLOY, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD RESULT IS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THIS MAKES ME VERY WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY AND FOR THE SAFETY OF ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. THE AIRBAG IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT INJURY, NOT ACTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WHEN THIS LIFE / SAFETY ISSUE IN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED? UPDATED 02/01/17.*JB

AUDI A4 TRANSMISSIONS HAVE A FAULTY TRASMISSION COMPONENT, WHICH CAUSES THEM TO FAIL. REPAIRS ARE COSTLY, AND ARE NOT A GUARANTEED PERMENANT FIX. DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE (KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER) WITH A TRANSIMISSION WAITING TO FAIL IS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY UNSAFE - IT'S JUST BAD BUSINESS. PLEASE HELP INSTITUE A RECALL FOR ALL AUDI VEHICHLES WITH FAULTY CVTS. A LAWSUITE SETTLEMENT WAS ANNOUNCED IN 2013, HOWEVER, THIS ONLY COVERS YEAR MODELS FROM 2002-2006. CLEARLY, THE CVT TRANSIMISSION IS STILL IN PRODUCTION IN AUDI A4S TILL THIS DAY. I DRIVE A 2007 AUDI A4 WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES AND IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. MY TRANSIMISSION WENT OUT ON ME WHILE TRYING TO REVERSE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ON TO A HIGHLY POPULATED CITY STREET, WITH A SLIGHT HILL FROM ONCOMMING TRAFFIC - I COULD OF BEEN SLAMMED INTO FROM THE REAR.

CAR STARTED BLOWING WHITE SMOKE AND OIL CONSUMPTION INCREASED TO 1 QUART PER 500 MILES. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PCV VALVE, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER CSC-10043026-6562. HOWEVER, SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATED, THE DEALERSHIP AND AUDI REFUSE TO COVER THIS ISSUE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART IS SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE CAMPAIGN.

POWER TRAIN
THE CRANKSHAFT BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT CONSTANT SPEED. THE INCIDENT IMMEDIATELY DISABLED THE CAR WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR HAZARD HAD THIS NOT BEEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AS I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE CLUTCH AND COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION. HAD IT NOT BEEN AN AUTOMATIC THE CAR WOULD HAVE QUICKLY COMING TO A STOP IN MODERATE TRAFFIC CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD. PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS OF THIS CAR HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT THIS YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A MANUAL CAR, THAT STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL CLUTCH AND THE CAR HAS MET ALL MANUFACTURERS MAINTENANCE. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY AN DEALER. CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING OR ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY AUDI.
