TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN FEBRUARY 2016 REGARDING THE RECALL BUT AS OF TODAY OCTOBER 21 I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REPAIR NOTICE. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS AUDI DEALERS AS WELL AS THE AUDI WORLDWIDE NUMBER WHO TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AND ARE WAITING. I ASKED WHEN THEY EXPECT TO GET PARTS AND THEY DID NOT KNOW AT ALL. I CONTACTED NHTSA AND I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN PARTS WOULD BE RECEIVED BY AUDI NEITHER. ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS LIVING IN CA I WAS IN ZONE B AND THE NEXT ON THIS LIST AFTER THE HIGHER PRIORITY HIGH HUMIDITY AREAS. DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF RECALLS THIS COULD MEAN WE MAY NOT GET PARTS FOR YEARS IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE TO IMPROVE PRODUCTION FREQUENCY, PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY AIRBAGS AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO THE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE A RECALL NOTICE. I AM CONCERNED DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE RECALL NOTICE AS WELL AS THE DEATHS AND ISSUES REGARDING THE AIRBAG. WE NEED QUALITY PARTS TO BE ALLOCATED TO AUDI IN CA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WHAT IS THE PLAN TO HAVE MORE AIRBAG PARTS AVAILABLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR CONSUMERS SUCH AS MYSELF WHO HAS AN AUDI 2010 A5 TO PROTECT MY SAFETY WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE? *TR

WE HAVE A NEW A5 CONVERTIBLE AND USED IT IN SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. - WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF A LIGHT SNOWFALL THE WIPERS BEGAN TO ICE UP. THE DEFROSTER WAS ON HIGH WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT 80 WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. - WE HAD ZERO VISIBILITY - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. - MY WIFE DROPPED ME OFF AT WORK AND CONTINUED ON A ROAD THAT YOU CANNOT STOP ON TO "CLEAN THE BLADES" AND COULD NOT SEE BUT THROUGH A NARROW 1/2" SLOT IN THE WINDSHIELD!! - I MADE IT TO WORK AND ASKED TWO OF MY EMPLOYEES, ONE WITH AN S5 AND ONE WITH A WAGON AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. - MY WIFE, WHO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH ANY SNOWFALL. - I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE SINCE THIS IS A VERY STORMY SEASON. *LN
