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.
