AIR BAGS
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR NEARLY ONE YEAR FOR THE RECALLED DRIVER'S AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE NEWS HAS REPORTED THAT 70% OF OTHER MANUFACTURER'S VEHICLES WITH THE SAME RECALL HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. HOW MUCH LONGER AM I REQUIRED TO WAIT?

I HAVE CALLED BMW AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE DEADLY AIRBAG. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN OVER 2 HOURS PER DAY TO COMMUTE TO WORK AND BACK. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS AS A NEGLIGENT RESULT FOR NOT REPLACING THE AIRBAG, I WILL COMMENCE LEGAL ACTION AND MY NEGLIGENCE ATTORNEY WILL RUB HIS HANDS FOR YOU BUYING HIM A BIGGER HOME, WITH THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURER, BMW, AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR NOT ENFORCING THE AIRBAG RECALL.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
RECENTLY THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSOR INDICATED A FAILURE. I CAN ATTRIBUTE SUCH FAILURE TO A DEFECTIVE SENSOR (PLACED IN THE SEAT MAT). WHEN I CONTACTED BMW USA, THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN [XXX]). I WOULD APPRECIATE THE NHTSA / DOT TO INVESTIGATE EXPANDING THE RECALL TO ALL E90 / 2006 BMW 330XI NOT JUST MODELS PRODUCED AFTER 12/ 2005. I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY VEHICLE IN 11/2005. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I OWN A 2006 BMW 330XI. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THE FAILURE RECURS CONSTANTLY. ALSO, WHEN SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT REGISTER ANYONE IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WHEN THE FAILURE STARTED WAS 53,200. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000 MILES AND THE FAILURE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.
