TAKATA RECALL. WHEN IS THIS RECALL GOING TO BE COMPLETED? I BASICALLY HAVE A ONE PERSON CAR SINCE NO ONE CAN SIT ON PASSENGER SIDE. UNTIL FIX IS MADE I CANNOT GET FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MY CAR, AND WILL NOT SELL IT TO AN UNKNOWING PERSON. NOBODY SEEMS TO BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WANT MY CAR FIXED!

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE RECALL 16V382 FROM AUDI OF AMERICA ON AUGUST 5, 2016. REPAIR STILL NOT AVAILABLE, NO CONTACT FROM AUDI. EVERYTHING IN LIMBO, AUDI RECOMMENDS NOT USING FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. BASICALLY I HAVE A ONE PERSON CAR. IF I TRIED TO SELL IT I WOULD NOT GET FAIR MARKET VALUE DUE TO THE PENDING RECALL, NOR WOULD I TRY TO SELL IT TO AN UNSUSPECTING PERSON. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED NOW BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL BASED ON ENTERING MY VIN NUMBER INTO YOUR VERY HELPFUL WEBSITE, THE RECALL WAS ISSUED MAY 27, 2016. THREE MONTHS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. SPECIFICALLY, "REMEDY: REPAIR SOLUTION PENDING" AND "RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. AUDI NEED TO RESOLVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BEFORE MORE PEOPLE WHO TRUSTED AUDI ARE KILLED BY THIS DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

STEERING
THE CAR WAS PARKED, AND THE STEERING MODULE BROKE DOWN. IT COMPLETELY DISABLED THE VEHICLE. IT WILL NOT START, THE GEARS WILL NOT CHANGE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. AUDI DEALER SAID IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL, AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THE MODULE IS A VERY EXPENSIVE, AND AFTER CALLING AUDI WARRANTY THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NO ONE RETURNED A PHONE CALL AFTER ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE SUPERVISOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY FAIL AND THEN WORK AGAIN. INVESTIGATION REVEALED FRAYED, SHORTED OUT, DAMAGED, WIRING INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE INSULATION ON MANY WIRES INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CRACKED, MISSING, FAILED AND THE BARE COPPER OR CONDUCTORS TOUCHING OTHER NEARBY CONDUCTORS. I'VE MADE CONTACT WITH AUDI TWICE NOW FOR A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. TWICE, I'VE BEEN TOLD EITHER THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED OR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. OUTSIDE OF ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT REQUESTS, I WOULD EXPECT AUDI TO TAKE INTEREST WHEN A CUSTOMER BRINGS A SAFETY ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION. I WOULD THINK FAULTY WIRING INSIDE BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON A MODEL-YEAR 2007 WOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. IF I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN AND MY HEADLIGHTS SHORT OUT AND FAIL, I WOULDN'T BE IN A GOOD POSITION. I'VE WORKED IN MANUFACTURING FOR 10 YEARS NOW, AND SAFETY OF WORKERS AND OF THE PRODUCTS MADE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE #1 CONCERN. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE TREATED AS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE AND PREVENT FUTURE OCCURRENCES IN NEW VEHICLES. IT'S NOT OFTEN INFORMATION IS PRESENTED SO EASILY. THIS WOULD POSSIBLY SAVE THE COMPANY MONEY IN WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS, AND ELIMINATE THE RISK OF CRASHES OR INJURY DUE TO FAILURES. BUT, THE INFORMATION SO FAR HAS BEEN TREATED AS A DISMISSIVE CUSTOMER REQUEST/COMPLAINT. THIS FAILURE IS BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN (WRONG WIRE JACKET/INSULATION CHOSEN FOR ENVIRONMENT), NOT NATURAL WEAR AND TEAR, AGE, OR ABUSE. I HAVE DETAILED PICTURES OF THE FAILURE I CAN PROVIDE.
