3-2-19 I BROUGHT CAR TO BMW IN FT PERCE, FL FOR 4 RECALLS WHICH THEY DID. THERE WAS A PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON AFTERWARDS WHICH THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX UNDER RECALL. I HAD A LICENSED ASC MECHANIC SCAN THE CAR AND IT CAME UP OC3 SEAT MAT FAULT. I LOOKED UP THIS AND THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN APRIL 2009 WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES ON THE 1ST PAGE UNDER SITUATION THAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUE IS EXTENDED 10 YEARS WITHOUT MILEAGE LIMIT. I CALLED BMW HEADQUARTERS 3-25-19 AND FILED A REPORT, THEY TOLD ME MY VIN# WASN'T RECALLED BUT I SAID IT IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT MAT THAT WAS RECALLED APRIL 2009 AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED IF IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD ESCALATE IT. TODAY, 3-26-19, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ANOTHER BMW REP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON IT BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY NOT COVER IT DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR AND MILEAGE. I TOLD THEM, "NO,, YOUR APRIL 2009 RECALL SAYS IT WAS EXTENDED 10 YEARS WITHOUT MILEAGE LIMIT, SO IT SHOULD BE COVERED". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF OTHER SAME MAKE,MODEL, YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING THEN THEY NEED TO FIX MY CAR AT THEIR COST. I NEED YOUR HELP IN GETTING THIS CAR RESOLVED AS I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT IT.

I STOPPED AT A DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I COULDN'T GET IT STARTED AND THE POLICE TRIED TO PUT IN NEUTRAL TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY. NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING INDICATED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS.THE AIRBAG RESTRAINT LIGHT IS ON AND WAITING FOR THE SENSOR. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A RECALL. IT WAS TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEN IT STARTED WHEN GETTING IT OFF THE TOW TRUCK. I DON'T TRUST DRIVING IT NOW BECAUSE IT CAN GO OUT WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO REPORTS BECAUSE I WAS AT A DRIVE THRU AND JUST TRIED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY. WE HAD THE LATEST RECALL DONE ON 08/31/2018.

BMW HAS TAKEN LONGER THAN REASONABLE TO ADDRESS 3 RECALLS OUTSTANDING ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST RECALL IS FROM A YEAR AGO RE DRIVER AIR BAG. THE SECOND RECALL IS FROM 9 MONTHS AGO RE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE THIRD RECALL IS FROM 4 MONTHS AGO RE IN TANK FUEL PUMP. BMW HAS ADVISED THAT PARTS WILL NOT BECOME AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL MONTHS FROM NOW. BMW WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN PRECISE DATES. IN THE MEAN TIME, WE HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT BEEN UNABLE TO SELL OUR VEHICLE EITHER PRIVATELY OR TO A DEALERSHIP. NO ONE WANTS TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE LONG STANDING, UNRESOLVED RECALLS AND BMW HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE EARLIER OR OFFER ANY REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT AIR BAGS IN AUGUST. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF PARTS. MY BMW X5 IS NOW HAVING ANOTHER VERY DEBILITATING PROBLEM. IT SHUTS OFF, STALLS, WON'T START, EMITS VERY TOXIC AND STRONG FUMES OF BURNING GAS WHEN I START MY CAR AND WHEN IM IDLING. THE ENGINE LIGHT UP THEN , IT SHAKES, IT HAS NO PUNCH. I FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS PART OF THE OTHER RECALL WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY DISMISSED ME, TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY MORE FOR MORE TESTS AND THAT IT ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME I ASKED ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL AND THEY SAID NO THEY COULDN'T HELP. I COMPLAINED AND [XXX] OF PARTS AND SERVICE SAID FINE, THEY WOULD FIX THE AIRBAGS RIGHT THEN, BUT COULDN'T OFFER ME A RENTAL. AFTER 3 HOURS AND 3 HOURS MORE I COULD NOT STAY BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK SO HE PUT THAT I REQUEST RECALLVWORK ON MY CAR WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. I JUST COULDN'T STAY. I NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ACDAY THAT I WAS OFF BUT HE WAS VERY UNHELPFUL. WELL YESTERDAY I RECEIVED THE ORIGINIAL RECALL LETTER FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND IM SHOCKED ONCE AGAIN THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. I HAVE A CAR THAT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB WAITING TO EXPLODE. THE FUMES ARE GIVING ME HEADACHES, I'VE GOT 2 VERY DANGEROUS RECALLS THAT SAY IF I HAVE PROBLEMS PULL OVER AND FOR TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BUT NOBODY WANTS TO HELP ME.

MY VEHICLE IS BMW X5 30I 2009 MODEL YEAR. I SUDDENLY HAD AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN SAYING "PASS RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAULTY". DEALER CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT THIS WILL NOT ENGAGE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEATBELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF NOT FIXED. ASKED PRICE WAS $1800 AND PAID $1500. ABSURD PRICE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY -- ITS A SAFETY SYSTEM! I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN IDENTICAL NHTSA RECALL ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER BMW VEHICLES JUST ONE OR TWO YEARS BEFORE THIS MODEL YEAR. THE NHTSA RECALL CODE OF THAT RECALL IS 08V384000. I USUALLY RIDE THE CAR ALONE AND HAVE OCCASIONAL PASSENGER AND NEVER HAD ANY HEAVY LOAD ON THE SEAT.

THE VEHICLE COMPUTER SYSTEM SHOWS A MALFUNCTION OF THE PASSENGER SAFETY SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE AND STATES THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND SEATBELTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FASTENED. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ADDRESSING, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF RELATED RECALLS OF THIS SPECIFIC SYSTEM ON OTHER BMW MODELS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CIRCLE BMW ON HWY 36, WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ AND THEY WANTED $1500 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND REPLACE THE BAD "SENSOR" AFTER CHARGING ME $150 TO "DETECT" THE REASON FOR THE MALFUNCTION. *TR
