2008 BMW 3 SERIES Air Bags Problems

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS REMOVED. I CALL MY LOCAL DEALER AND ALL THEY SAY IS THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE BACKORDER. WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM THEY WILL CALL ME. I HAVE WAITED OVER ONE YEAR AND NO ANSWER.

TAKATA RECALL 1. BMW SENT ME RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2016, WITH NO FOLLOW UP REPAIR IMPLEMENTATION AS OF NOV. 2017 = 1.5YRS SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL NOTICE = UNREASONABLY LONG? 2. WHEN I GO TO SAFERCAR.GOV / AIRBAG RECALL.COM & CHECK MY VIN, MY CAR DOES NOT SHOW UP W/ AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL (IT SHOWS UP FOR BLOWER MOTOR WIRING RECALL, BUT THAT'S IT). MAYBE I'M MISSING SOMETHING?

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN 15 MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, AND BMW HAS YET TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS REASONABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED FIRST NOTIFICATION ON 02/2016, NO RESPONSE TILL NOW. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, NEED TO KNOW IF THIS WILL BE FIX OR WHAT IS THE RISK OF KEEP DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE, BMW WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPEN TO ME OR WHO EVER DRIVES THE VEHICLE?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A SECONDARY LETTER FROM BMW ADVISING THEY ARE READY TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I HAVE BEEN WAITING A FULL YEAR FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED.

NO PROGRESS ON RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-071 SINCE NOTIFICATION 7+ MONTHS AGO. GIVEN THE YEAR OF MY BMW SERIES 3 SPORTSWAGON (2008) AND MY COASTAL LOCATION, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE RECALL NOTICE DIRECTS THE CONSUMER TO CONTACT WWW.SAFECAR.GOV "IF YOUR BMW CENTER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT ... WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME."

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH FOR MY 2008 BMW 3 SERIES CONVERTIBLE, [XXX] STATING THAT THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED ANOTHER CAR (NOT A BMW) BUT THE TRADE IN ON THE BMW IS BLOCKED BY THE PENDING RECALL REPAIR. MY LOCAL DEALER, WEATHERFORD IN BERKELEY, CA INFORMS ME THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND HAVE NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THEY MAY BECOME AVAILABLE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND FOR AN EVENTUAL BUYER OF THE CAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HI, I AM QUITE FRUSTRATED WITH BMW. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED WIDESPREAD ISSUES WITH THEIR PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEMS HAVE MULTIPLE RECALLS OUT, HOWEVER MY CAR AT THIS TIME IS NOT PART OF IT BUT MY PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE FAULTY. BMW WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 DIAGNOSIS INSTEAD OF ENSURING THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. I'M WRITING YOU AS THIS IS VERY SCARY TO ME THAT BMW IS WILLING TO RISK TEH SAFETY OF THE MY PASSENGERS AND NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
