I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THAT A FINAL REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE FOR RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-071. I CALLED THE BMW SAHARA LAS VEGAS DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND TO CHECK BACK IN 3 MONTHS. I THEN CALLED BMQ HQ WHO TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHECK BACK IN 6 MONTHS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, HOW COULD THE "FINAL REMEDY BE AVAILABLE" IF IT'S NOT AVAILABLE FOR 6 MONTHS OR LONGER?

MY CAR IS OPTIONED WITH POWER, SPORT SEATS AND CURRENTLY HAS 126,969 MILES. FOR OVER THE LAST 2K MILES THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THERE ARE OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF BMW YET INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS THAT EXHIBIT THIS SIMILAR ISSUE REMAIN EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW AND THEY SAY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. MY CAR WAS NEVER IN A CRASH AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. THERE ARE MANY POINTS OF FAILURE IN ANY CAR ALONG WITH BMWS THAT I EXPECT AND HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING FOR. SAFETY ISSUES RELATING TO FAULTY AIRBAGS, MODULES, OR THEIR WIRING IS ONE THAT BMW SHOULD ALWAYS COVER. I FIND BMW'S RESPONSE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION BE STARTED ON BEHALF OF THE MANY BMW DRIVERS WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE AND FAULTY AIRBAGS AS MINE WHO BRAVE THE ROADS DAILY CONFIDENT IN THEIR VEHICLE'S ABILITY TO PROTECT THEM. THANK YOU. *TR

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING OIL DUE TO FAULTY BROKEN ALLUMINUM BOLT. THREE BOLTS ON THE FORWARD RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE IS BROKEN MAYBE DUE TO ENGINE STRESS. OIL IS LEAKING TO THE EXHAUST AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE FIRE. I READ IN THE FUROM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BMW SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT HAS FAILED AND GIVING AN AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALONG WITH PASS AIR BAG OFF LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ON. BMW CLAIMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 10 YEARS FROM BUILD DATE, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY SUCH NOTIFICATION ALTHOUGH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ALSO LIVED AT THE SAME ADDRESS. BMW WILL NOT APPROVE A WARRANTY REPAIR AS THEY SAID THE 10 YEAR PERIOD EXPIRED IN 2015. THE FAILURE OF THIS SENSOR COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT END CRASH.

THERE IS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER DEFECT CONCERNING THE ALUMINUM BOLTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VALVE COVER GASKET AND CYLINDER HEAD ON THE BMW 2006 325I'S. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE ALUMINUM BOLTS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED SINCE DISCOVERING THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT. BMWNA HAVE HAD NUMEROUS SERVICE ISSUES RELATED TO THESE DEFECTIVE ALUMINUM BOLTS. THEY HAVE ALL OPENLY ADMITTED THAT THE BOLTS IN QUESTION WERE DEFECTIVE IN NATURE AND PRODUCTION, AND THAT THE BOLTS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED TO AVOID FUTURE FAILURES. SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS INCLUDED, AND RESULTED IN, VEHICLES LEAKING OIL IN THE ENGINE AREA CAUSING FIRES IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEFECTIVE BOLTS POSE A SERIOUS POTENTIAL RISK TO THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES, AS WELL AS TO OTHER DRIVERS WHO SHARE THE ROADWAY WITH THEM. IT IS MY STRONG BELIEF THAT THIS TYPE OF PUBLIC SAFETY RISK CANNOT GO ON ANY FURTHER WITHOUT PROPER INTERVENTION FROM THE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES WE EMPLOY AS TAXPAYERS. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT BMW NORTH AMERICA ISSUE A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF THE BMW 2006 325I'S AFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM NOT PRIVY TO WHAT CONSTITUTES A VEHICLE'S DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS TO REACH A "RECALL STATUS".I HAVE DILIGENTLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE SERVICE MANUALS, AS WELL AS THE ON BOARD COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. MY CONTENTION IS EXTREMELY CLEAR; THE ALUMINUM BOLTS ARE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT! PLEASE FIX THEM ALL AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.
