TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE SCHEDULED WITH MY LOCAL AUDI DEALER TWO TIMES TO HAVE THIS AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT COMPLETED, AND BOTH TIMES, THEY HAVE CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THEY A) DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS, AND B) DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY, 11/14/2018 WITH ROYAL MOTORS SAN FRANCISCO. ACCORDING TO HTTPS://VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV/VIN/VINLOOKUP THESE PARTS WERE EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. IT IS NOW MID-NOVEMBER, 7 MONTHS LATE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFETY ITEM SUCH AS THIS. WHY AREN'T THE PARTS AVAILABLE, AND WHY DON'T THEY KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE?? UNTIL THEN, I'LL BE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I HAVE BEEN GETTING NOTICES FOR A YEAR AND STILL CAN'T GET THIS WORK PERFORMED. I HAVE CONTACTED (800) 253-2834 AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME. NHSTA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V079000. FUEL TANK VENTILATION VALVE NHTSA CAMPAIN NUMBER: 09V37700 NEVER GOT NOTICE ON THIS RECALL TILL I WENT ON YOUR SITE. I NEED TO KNOW IF AUDI WILL EVER GET THESE PARTS/SERVICE CENTERS TO FIX IT. OF COURSE IT COSTS MONEY FOR THEM - SEEMS LIKE ITS JUST LIP SERVICE. CAN'T GET A SERVICE CENTER WILLING TO PERFORM THIS WORK; NO PARTS. FEELS LIKE SERVICE IS BLAMING PARTS AND VISA VERSA. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WHATS THE POINT OF A RECALL IF NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO BE FIXED? SO FAR NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED REQUIRING AS IT RELATES TO THESE RECALLS. DOES THE GOVT./AUDI ONLY WANT TO SEE ADDITIONAL ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY GET THESE DONE. FROM THE DATE BELOW - CERTAINLY FEELS THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT.
