2010 Audi Q5

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (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 AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DEALER (PRESTIGE IMPORTS, 9201 W COLFAX AVE, DENVER, CO 80215, (303) 872-9990) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HIM THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL UNABLE TO EVEN GET ANY DETAILS ON HOW/WHEN TO GET THIS REMIDIED BY EITHER THE DEALER OR AUDI OF AMERICA. BOTH SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME, THE DEALER TELLS ME TO CALL AUDI OF AMERICA AND AUDI TELLS ME TO CALL THE DEALER. IT'S BEEN INFORMATION BLACKOUT FROM BOTH OF THEM. THIS WHOLE SAGA HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A VERY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, YEARS NOW.

TACIT RECALL: I HAVE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO GET MY CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY CANNOT GET THE PART. MEANWHILE I'M TAKING A RISK EACH TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. I HAVE TALKED TO AUDI USA WHO PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH A TAKATA SPECIALIST AND THEY PUT ME BACK IN TOUCH WITH AUDI OF MELBOURNE FLORIDA. I GET THE SAME ANSWER, THE PART IS HARD TO GET AND ONCE WE RECEIVE THE PART THEY WILL CONTACT ME. HOW LONG MUST THIS GO ON. I HAVE IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER THE SERVICE ADVISOR'S I HAVE TALKED TO AND WHEN. I'AM STILL WAITING ON THIS DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT ME TELLING THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE PART.

TAKATA RECALL - ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I ASKED THE AUDI DEALER ABOUT THIS RECALL AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS YET AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY DID. NOW I'VE RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, REGARDING TAKATA INFLATORS. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE WITH GETTING MINE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AT MY AUDI DEALER IN ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND FOR OVER A YEAR. I ROUTINELY RECEIVED NOTICES ON BEHALF OF TAKATI AND THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE LATTER THEY INDICATED THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY REPLACEMENTS. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ROCKVILLE AUDI SENT ANOTHER NOTICE. I MADE AN APPT TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AND ADDED SOME OTHER SERVICE ITEMS WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN THEY NOTED THEY HAD NO MORE AIRBAGS IN STOCK. I HAD THE OTHER SERVICE DONE TO THE TUNE OF $2K. STILL NO AIRBAGS. I NOW HAVE A TEENAGER DRIVING THE CAR AND AM VERY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ME FUELING THE VEHICLE BUT THE SMELL GETS A BIT LOUDER UPON DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO DEALER A WEEK AGO BUT THEY ADVISE IT WAS TOO LATE IN THE DAY TO CHECK. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE HELP
