TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MAIL, FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, THAT THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED, YET THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HAS NOT. I AM CONSTANTLY AFTER MY DEALERSHIP TO INFORM ME AS TO THE TIME FRAME FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT THEY NEVER HAVE ANY INFORMATION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS.

I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS FOR THE TAKATA PSDI-5 DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR SINCE APRIL 2017 OR EARLIER, AND THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY FOR THIS. I'M TOLD THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THERE IS GRAVE DANGER WITH THE CURRENT AIRBAG SITUATION AND I DO NOT FEEL THEY ARE TAKING THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO REPLACE THE PARTS TO ENSURE A SAFE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. PLEASE HELP PUSH THEM!

AT 70K CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL EVERY 1K HAVING TO TOP OFF A LITER OF OIL. DEALER ADV THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF TURBO ENGINE. IGNORED THE ISSUE UNTIL GOT WORST TOPPING OFF EVERY 750MI'S THEN TO EVERY 200-300MI. DEALER CHECKED & ADV NEEDED TURBO ASSY REPLACEMENT BEFORE THEY WOULD CHECK ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. COST TO REPAIR $3,925+ TAX. COULDN'T AFFORD THAT SO LIVED W/ISSUE FOR A WHILE. DOING RESEARCH ON INTERNET I FOUND THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM W/THIS CAR/YEAR AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT & AUDI HAD TO PAY TO REPAIR FOR THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE FOR FREE BUT ONLY IF YOU PUT THE CLAIM IN BY A CERTAIN DATE.I DIDN'T KNOW OF THIS SO I COMPLAINED TO THE AUDI DEALER BUT IT WAS TOO LATE FOR MY CAR TO BE HONORED. THE DEALER THEN WOULD PERFORM A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR $300 WITH A FEW NEW SEALS AND BOLTS.IF AFTER THE TEST IT STILL CONSUMED OIL RAPIDLY THEY ADVISED MAYBE AUDI CORP WOULD HONOR THE REPAIRS OR AT LEAST HELP COVER A PARTIAL AMOUNT SINCE I WAS A DEDICATED CUSTOME...
