2011 BMW X5 Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL. I HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND BMW IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX MY PROBLEM. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE HEARD THAT SALT AIR MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE, SO I WOULD EXPECT PEOPLE LIVING BY THE OCEAN WOULD GET TOP PRIORITY.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FRONT AIRBAG AND I'VE HAD A REQUEST TO FIX IT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. BMW KEEPS TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS IN. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND BMW IS NOT PROVIDING THE PARTS TO FIX THIS.

I AM HEARING A BUZZING SOUND FROM THE CENTER OF MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN I PARK MY X5 AND THE SOUND SEEMS TO CONTINUE AFTER I SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. MY X5 HAS AN AIRBAG RECALL OUTSTANDING FOR ALMOST A FULL YEAR, BUT MY DEALER HAS OFFERED NEITHER REPLACEMENT NOR ANY EXPLANATION FOR THE DELAY. THE BUZZING SOUND IS NEW, AND IS INTERMITTENT IN NATURE. MY FAMILY IS AFRAID TO BE IN THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED TWO NOTICES CONCERNING THIS SITUATION OVER A YEAR PERIOD, WHEN I CONTACTED BMW OF MANHATTAN AFTER THE FIRST NOTICE THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME ONCE PARTS ARE RECEIVED. IT'S BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE RECEIVED YET ANOTHER NOTICE, STILL NO REPLACEMENT OF NEW AIRBAGS.

TAKATA AIRBAGS RECALL - UNKNOWN STATUS TO REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL ITS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS SINCE I'VE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO REPLACE FAULTY AIRBAG COMPONENTS WHICH AFFECTS THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME I BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, THE DEALER SIMPLY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO RECALL THE AIRBAGS. I AM COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED ESPECIALLY KNOWING THIS COULD CAUSE BIG HARM IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH. I TRY TO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS MUCH AS I CAN UNTIL THE RECALL IS COMPLETED, HOWEVER LIVING WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IT IS SIMPLY IMPRACTICAL TO NOT USE THE CAR UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED. IT IS ALREADY 2017, AND I RECEIVED THE NOTICE EARLY 2015. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. FURTHERMORE THE CAR IS GOING ON 6 YEARS OLD. I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMID REGION. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS IT IS TAKING THIS LONG FOR AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL LETTER 11 MONTHS AGO FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE 2ND RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE IN MAY OF 2016. I AM STILL BEING TOLD THERE IS NO RESOLUTION AS OF YET.THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON WAY TO LONG AND MY SAFETY IS AT RISK. I AM UNABLE TO SELL THE CAR DUE TO THIS OPEN RECALL AND NEED RESOLUTION ASAP.

THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE RECALL AND THE PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE WHEN THE REMEDY REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED FOR BOTH RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND STILL BMW SAYS IT DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

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 THIS DEFECTIVE ITEM REMAINS UNFIXED. MY FAMILY IS SUBJECT TO "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH" BECAUSE THERE IS NOT SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE FOR THE ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED. CALLS TO BMW HAVE NOT HELPED, THEY REMAIN CONTENT TO SAY THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE OFFER NO HELP, SUCH AS HONDA MAY BE DOING. TAKATA APPEARS TO BE UNDER NO PRESSURE TO RESOLVE. IT APPEARS THEY HAVE NO TROUBLE MAKING AIRBAGS FOR NEW CARS BUT NOT FOR THIS RECALL. PLEASE INCREASE THE PRESSURE, IMPOSE FINES, ETC, TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.

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

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL IN MARCH OF 2016, AND JUST LEARNED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED IN MAY OF 2016. ALL EFFORTS TO LEARN STATUS OF PARTS AVAILABILITY HAVE GONE UNRESPONDEDED TO. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A RESULT OF THE REPRESENTATIONS WHICH WERE MADE TO ME BY BMW AND THEIR AGENTS REGARDING THE CAR'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. KNOWING THAT THERE IS NOT A DATE IN SIGHT TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS NECESSARY TO CORRECT THIS UNREASONABLY DANGEROUS CONDITION, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN AND PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. TWO DEALERS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT ACCEPT THE TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF THE RECALLS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN DEEMED TO BE UNREASONABLY DANGEROUS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEFECT SHOULD FALL ON THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT THE CONSUMER.
