2009 Audi A4 Cabriolet

TAKATA RECALL -- SINCE OCTOBER 2018, I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING MESSAGES FROM AUDI THAT THE REPAIR IS AVAILABLE AND THAT I SHOULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. SINCE THEN, I HAVE MADE SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS WITH MY LOCAL DEALER ONLY TO HAVE EACH OF THEM CANCELED DUE TO THE AIRBAG BEING ON BACKORDER OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE. ON JANUARY 24, I CALLED BOTH MY LOCAL DEALER, AUDI EATONTOWN, AND AUDI CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. THE FORMER TOLD ME THAT THERE ISN'T A SINGLE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IN NJ WHILE THE LATTER THEN EXTENDED THE LACK OF AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS TO THE ENTIRE US.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED CLASSIC AUDI DEALER IN EASTCHESTER, NY SEVERAL TIMES BY PHONE, EMAIL, AND CHAT. THEY HAVE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS. I CALLED THE AUDI ADVOCATE IN MICHIGAN, AND SHE PROMISED TO HELP BY CONTACTING CLASSIC AUDI AND PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN CLASSIC AUDI WILL SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THEY NEED TO REPLACE MY 'PASSENGER SIDE' AIRBAG (DRIVER SIDE WAS REPLACED ALREADY), BUT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. I GET CARDS IN THE MAIL TELLING ME I NEED TO REPLACE IT, BUT THE DEALERS DO NOT HAVE THE PART. EVERYONE SAYS BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION, TEXAS, AND THE AGE OF THE CAR, 2009 MODEL, THIS CAR IS A 'PRIORITY', BUT I CANNOT GET THE PART TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 AUDI A4 CABRIOLET. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V032000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (AUDI NORTH SCOTTSDALE, 7150 EAST PRINCESS DRIVE, PHOENIX, AZ 85054) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE CANVAS ON MY CONVERTIBLE TOP! I HAVE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS AND READ THOUSANDS OF THREADS IN REGARD TO THIS ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE GLASS COULD COME DETACHED FROM THE SOFT TOP AND EITHER INJURE ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS IN THE BACKSEAT OR FLY OUT AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. AUDI IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE OVER 5K FOR A NEW TOP-CLAIMING REPLACEMENT IS THE ONLY OPTION. I APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAITED ONE YEAR FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE PART TO COME IN. I LOST OUT ON DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR ENTIRELY ONE YEAR. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I CAN'T TAKE ANY PASSENGERS UNTIL IT IS FIXED. MOHEGAN LAKE AUDI TELLS ME THAT THE PART WONT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER AND BEING THAT THIS IS A CONVERTIBLE, THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I CAN'T TAKE MY 89 YEAR OLD MOTHER WHOM I AM CAREGIVER FOR ANYWHERE IN THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS DONE SOONER. I WAS PATIENT WAITING AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND LOST OUT ON DRIVING THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR, 2016. PLEASE HELP ME.
