TAKATA RECALL DRIVING AROUND 25 MPH CAR HIT A POTHOLE GOING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET. SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED HITTING MY COUSIN JUST AS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL 02V223000. THE CAR IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA INFLATORS AIRBAG RECALL WHICH THANKFULLY DIDN'T DEPLOY AT THE TIME OF HITTING THE POTHOLE. BMW DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEPLOYED AIR BAGS BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THEM, THE CAR'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED BY SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, EVEN THOUGH YEAR AND MODEL MATCHES THE EFFECTED VEHICLE. THEY ARE, HOWEVER, WILLING TO REPAIR THE TAKATA AIRBAG.

THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME REVERSING, I CAN COMMAND IT TO REVERSE BUT SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR IS A 2000 AND ONLY HAS 96K MILES. THIS PAST MONTH I HAVE SPOKEN WITH BMW ABOUT THE ISSUE. I LET THEM KNOW I FEEL IT POSES A SAFETY RISK BUT THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME. EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY A MFG. DEFECT. JUST HOPING TO HAVE AN ADVOCATE TO HELP ME. THE CAR IS STATIONARY ON A STREET.

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A VEHICLE RECALL FROM BMW IN SEPTEMBER 2014 FOR MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM MOMENTUM BMW OF HOUSTON ( 713-5963400). I HEARD NOTHING FURTHER AND IN NOV 2014 CALLED MOMENTUM BMW. I WAS TOLD THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE RECALL BUT THEY TOOK MY NAME, VIN AND DATA. ON DECEMBER 12TH I STOPPED BY THEIR DEALERSHIP AND WENT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WAS NOW TOLD THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR MY REPAIR BECAUSE I HAD NOT COME IN TO HAVE THEM ORDERED. SO I WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS - PROVIDING ONCE AGAIN, ADDRESS, VIN CONTACT INFORMATION ETC. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN I COULD COME IN AND HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED. NOW ON MARCH 6TH I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN CONTACTED AND AFTER 4 TELEPHONE CALL ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TALK TO ANYONE IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I LEFT A VOICE MESSAGE FOR THEIR SERVICE MANAGER TO CONTACT ME. SO IN SHORT, 6 MONTHS AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY BMW (IN WRITING) THAT MY CAR NEEDS A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THE RESPONSIBLE BMW SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NEVER CONTACTED ME. I AM SENDING IN THIS NOTIFICATION AS INSTRUCTED ON MY WRITTEN LETTER - "IF YOUR BMW CENTER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE OR WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, NOTIFY THE ADMINISTRATOR, NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. *TR
