If someone was injured or killed because of it, it would get recalled for sure. Problem is, it kills the motor on startup, not out of park yet, so no injury. Can't compare this to takata, people died when the airbags went off. I don't care about resale value, if I did, I would not have bought it brand new like I did. What I care about is driving it to at least 150k miles. I got my pistons replaced, and now tensioner is fixed, so anything else, should be less than $5,000 to repair, so that's still cheaper than buying another one, and you can't get the feeling of quattro on any other car. It is awesome. If you buy a used one for half the price of new, I can't see how you can complain about any repair less than $10,000. You still are not at the price of a new one.
