AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELTS/AIRBAG LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE HARNESS IN THE SEAT, BELT BUCKLE, RESET THE LIGHT AND NOW THEY SAY THE SEAT BELT MODULE NOW HAS TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE THIS IS FROM THE RECALL THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON THE CAR WHICH IS THE AIRBAG MODULE. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN YOU SAT IN THE SEAT OR JUST DRIVING ALONG

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM BMW IN MARCH 2016 CONCERNING THE NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG ON OUR CAR. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM BMW. I RECENTLY SENT AN EMAIL TO THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I THINK THAT NEARLY A YEAR TO REPLACE THIS AIRBAG IS UNREASONABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I LIVE IN A GULF STATE, SARASOTA COUNTY. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL IN MARCH 2016. IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED DEALER. AGAIN IN APRIL. THEY WERE TO CALL ME TO INSTALL NEW AIRBAG. OCT 24 CONTACTED DEALER AGAIN. NO RETURN CALL AS PROMISED. CALLED 10/27 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ORIGINAL LIST OF RECALLED BMW'S FROM MARCH WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND SINCE I HAD CALLED IN AGAIN THEY WOULD NOW PUT BE ON A LIST FOR THE SAFETY RECALL. THIS CONTINUING DELAY AND GAME PLAYING ON THE PART OF BMW NORTH AMERICA AND MY DEALER BMW OF SARASOTA IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF I HADN'T CALLED AGAIN I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BUT ON THEIR "LIST" FOR THE PART TO BE ORDERED. NO OTHER ASSISTANCE IS OFFERED BY THE DEALER. MY SAFETY IS AT RISK AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL BMW HAS STONEWALLED ME! THEY SAY I CAN HAVE A LOANER. WONDERFUL, EXCEPT IT'S NOT A BMW SINCE ALL LATE MODEL BMWS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I CAN'T SELL MY CAR BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD WANT IT PENDING A RECALL THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY BMW OR TAKATA. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL LOANER AGREEMENT, I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT FOR A 2-3 YEAR RENTAL AND NOT DRIVE MY CAR EXCEPT FOR A WEEKLY STARTUP AND BACK AND FORTH IN THE DRIVEWAY TO BE SURE THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. I AM NOW LOOKING INTO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH MORE RECENT MODELS SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL AND THEY ARE HOPPING MAD AND READY TO GO TO COURT. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT NEITHER COMPANY, BMW AND TAKATA, HAVE OWNED UP AND SHOWN WHAT THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. INSTEAD, ALL WE CUSTOMERS HEAR IS "YES, IT'S A TERRIBLE SITUATION, BUT THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO BUT OFFER YOU THE LOANER." WELL, THERE IS SOMETHING WE OWNERS CAN DO. WE ARE A LITIGIOUS BUNCH!!
