I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT I HAVE A IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL FROM BMW OF NORTH AMERICA. THE RECALL IS FOR A DRIVERS FRONT AIR BAG MODULE. TODAY 3/31/2016 I CONTACTED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (FT. WORTH, TX LOCATION ON WHITE SETTLEMENT ROAD, AND THE ARLINGTON, TX LOCATION LOCATED OFF OF LAMAR AVE). BOTH LOCATIONS SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE COMING IN TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG MODULE. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE TO TELL ME ITS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE RUPTURING AIR BAG RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS IF I GET INTO A WRECK, AND NOT HAVE A DATE OF WHEN I CAN GET THIS CORRECTED.

TRAVELING ON EXPRESSWAY AT APPROX 60 MPH COLLIDED WITH A VEHICLE HITTING HIM ON REAR. I SUSTAINED INJURY TO MY CHEST AS A RESULT OF IMPACT AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. I LEARNED THAT BMW HAS RECALLED AIRBAGS ON SEVERAL MODELS AND BELIEVE THE 2008 X5S SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS AT A COLLISION CENTER BUT I CAN MAKE IT AVAILABLE IN CASE NHTSA EXPERTS WOULD LIKE TO INVESTIGATE IF AIRBAG SENSORS ARE WORKING PROPERLY ON THIS MODEL. IF INDEED THE AIRBAGS ON THE 2008 BMW X 5S ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, I'D LIKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CREATE PUBLIC AWARENESS TO PREVENT ANY SERIOUS INJURIES AND/OR FATALITIES FROM HAPPENING. *TR

VEHICLE IS SHOWING PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILURE. THE ERROR WAS INTERMITTENT EARLIER DURING THE YEAR I.E IT WILL SHOW UP WHILE DRIVING BUT WILL GO AWAY UPON RESTARTING THE CAR. MY 4 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED IN APRIL 2012. WHEN I HAD TAKEN IT FOR FINAL WARRANTY SERVICE I HAD MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER (BMW OF ROCKVILLE) BUT AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THAT NOTHING IS WRONG SINCE VEHICLE DIAGNOSES IS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING. NOW WITHIN 5 MONTHS THIS FAILURE IS PERMANENT AND DEALER IS ASKING $454 FOR REPAIR - WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE THIS CAR IS. NEVER AGAIN AM I BUYING A BMW. *TR
