TAKATA RECALL - BECAME AWARE OF DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG RECALL IN JUNE 2016; CONTACTED LOCAL BMW DEALER WHO ESTIMATED PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX BY OCTOBER 2016. CONTACTED MY BMW DEALER AGAIN IN JANUARY 2017 AND WAS TOLD PARTS ARE PROVIDED TO BMW DEALERS BASED ON VIN, THAT MY VIN WAS ON RECORD WITH BMW, AND THAT I'D BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY BECAME AVAILABLE. THIS NINE MONTH WAIT IS UNREASONABLE FOR THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, AND NO ESTIMATE OF WHEN REPAIRS WILL BE MADE HAS BEEN PROVIDED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL...RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO. BMW HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE TO FIX

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THE START OF THE YEAR,CALLED BMW AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD AN OPTION TO HAVE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHICH I DECLINED AS I WAS INFORMED PARTS WOULD BE IN SOON. I CALLED BACK IN THE SUMMER AND WAS TOLD PARTS ARE SLOWLY BEING SHIPPED AND THAT BECAUSE I LIVED IN A COLD PART OF THE USA THOSE PARTS WITH WATER CLIMATES WOULD HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED FIRST AND THAT I'M TO CALL BACK IN THE FALL. I CALLED TODAY OCT 5TH,2016 TO BE TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE COULD NOT CURRENTLY BE REPAIRED AND BMW ARE WAITING ON A GOVERNMENTAL SOLUTION AND IN THE MEANTIME I MUST DRIVER A LOAN VEHICLE UNTIL THE FINAL DECISION OR SOLUTION IS FOUND. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I WAS NEVER CALLED ABOUT THE ISSUE SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE IN JANUARY 2016 AND IF I'D NOT CALLED TODAY I'D HAVE NEVER KNOWN.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I WAS CHANGING A FUSE AND WAS LEANING OVER FROM THE DRIVER SEAT ON TO THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER CHANGING THE FUSE, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPON DRIVING THE CAR LATER WITH MY WIFE, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AS WELL. I THEN HAD THE CODE DIAGNOSED AND IT INDICATED A MALFUNCTIONING PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. I HAVE SPORT COMFORT SEATS IN MY CAR.

I BOUGHT MY CAR AT 88,000 MILES AND SHORTLY AFTER (5 DAYS) MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, THEN REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. SINCE THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER (BECAUSE I MOVED) AND THEY SAID IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLUG IT UP TO A COMPUTER TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. *TR
