I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL IN THE PAST YEAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO JACKIE COOPER OF EDMOND OK SAID THEY HAD THE PART I TOOK MY X5D IN FOR 3 DAYS BUT WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY HAD NOT REPLACED EITHER AIRBAG. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ONLY HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE BAG PARTS!

RECALL HAS BEEN IN AFFECT SINCE MAY 2016 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A PASSENGER AIR BAG MAY 25, 2016 | RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-364. I'VE BEEN TO TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND ADDED MY NAME TO A LIST BUT NOTHING.

TAKATA RECALL....NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY FASHION. SPOKE WITH BMWNA, EXPLAINED THAT I'M LOOKING TO SELL THE VEHICLE, THAT I PAID CASH AND THE TRUCK IS DEPRECIATING.. LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE A TRADE IN...WANT THE VEHICLE FIXED ASAP SO IT IS SELLABLE... I HAVE SEEN BMW CPO VECHICLES FOR SALE THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE SAME RECALL AND SAME REGION THAT WERE CLEARED OF THE ISSUE... I WOULD LIKE THE SAME TREATMENT...

TAKATA RECALL HAVE BEEN WAITING 8 MONTHS WITH NO INFORMATION FROM BMW OR DEALER WHEN REPAIR WILL BE SCHEDULED. CAR VALUE NOT CALCULABLE FOR TRADE OR SALE UNTIL NO LONGER UNDER RECALL. SHOULD BE MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR DELAY OF SALE TRANSACTION.

TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS THE SUBJECT OF 2 TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS -- #16V071 (MARCH 2016) AND #16V364 (MAY 2016). IT IS REGISTERED AND USED MOSTLY IN NAPLES, FLORIDA -- PART OF BMW'S DESIGNATED HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AREA ("HAHA"). I WAS TOLD IN MAY THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER. I WAS TOLD THIS MORNING THAT PARTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER. IN A SITUATION SUCH AS THIS -- WHICH INVOLVES A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT -- I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT NHTSA TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION TO FORCE DEALERS TO MAKE LOANER CARS AVAILABLE TO AFFECTED CAR OWNERS ONCE A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME HAS ELAPSED FROM THE DATE OF THE INITIAL RECALL. OTHERWISE, THERE IS NO INCENTIVE FOR CAR DEALERS/MANUFACTURERS TO MOVE QUICKLY -- THE LONGER THEY WAIT, THE FEWER CARS THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF MY REQUEST. *TR
