I made a very loud and detailed complaint about a terribly defective asos (it was constantly reporting winds 180 degrees to the actual direction), I included examples (I landed long in a tailwind, someone went off the rwy, I watched a Cirrus land in a 15kt tailwind)
They have made improvements to the windsock so it is more visible and they did away with the nefarious asos; replaced it with a new awos!
Well, if my report did not contribute, dont tell me about it- I'm enjoying my little fantasy that it did!
 
Well, that is one of the major points of ASRS. People do read it.

I don't know about your specific complaint, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it got back to them.
 
Great thread! I have filed multiple ASRS reports over a 5 year period similar to what you're mentioning for numerous airports. I did get a response eventually, and that was to "contact the FSDO", to which the FSDO told me "file a ASRS report" so it goes into a never ending cycle.
