What owners wrote

A woman ran a red light heading east, my husband and I were heading north, the woman t-boned us the airbags did not deploy. Audi says it was the "angle" of impact. I have police report, the collision shop, and the insurance adjuster all agree airbags should have deployed.

Reported at 5,300 miles, April 2008 CrashInjury

Takata recall. I only have this car and fear for my life as the airbags have been deemed defective and the car is on recall. I need to have these airbags replaced right away so I can drive my car. I was never advised by audi about a recall for the passenger side airbag.
