2005 Audi A6 airbag problems

AIR BAGS

AUDI OF AMERICA SENT ME A FLYER (ATTACHED) OFFERING $100 IN AUDI GOODS AND SERVICES AS AN INCENTIVE TO COMPLETE THE REPLACEMENT OF A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. SINCE MAY 2ND, NOW ALMOST 5 MONTHS LATER, AUDI HAS STILL FAILED TO PROVIDE THE OFFERED INCENTIVE DESPITE ME CONTACTING THEM AND THEIR PROMISE IT WOULD BE RESOLVED. AS THIS RECALL IS UNDER NHTSA JURISDICTION I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE INTEREST IN THEIR BEHAVIOR IN REGARDS TO THIS SERIOUS MATTER.

AFTER WAITING A FEW MONTHS I DECIDED TO ALSO FILL OUT THE FORM ON THE AUDI WEBSITE REGARDING THE TAKATA RECALL ON MAY 15, 2018 AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED PROBABLY 9-10 MONTHS AGO THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG OF MY CAR AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANY PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT.

THIS PERIOD OF TIME SEEMS PRETTY CRAZY TO ME AS THE NOTICE SAID THAT IF IT DEPLOYS IT COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
