Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT A LETTER FROM AUDI ON 4/27/2106. THE LETTER IS ATTACHED. PLEASE IGNORE MY NOTES. IT STATED MY CAR WAS BEING RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FRONT AIRBAG MADE BY TAKATA. PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AND NO KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL BE. I CALLED AUDI AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE PROVIDING RENTAL CARS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I CALLED 2 DEALERS IN COLUMBUS, OHIO AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE RENTAL CARS AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MEANWHILE I AM SCREWED. I AND ALL THE OTHER IMPACTED AUDI OWNERS HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. THIS IS TERRIBLE. I COULD USE YOUR HELP TO GET AUDI TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
