TAKATA RECALL. MFGR CAMPAIGN #: SI B65 15 16. BMW 2011 335I COUPE. I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL BMW SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE LAST MARCH 2016, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS. IT'S NOW OVER A YEAR AND BMW IS CLAIMING THE SAME THING. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT'S NOT A "MONEY MAKER" FOR THEM ANYMORE. I'M TIRED OF BEING LIED TO. HOW CAN THE AIRBAG BE FIXED?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED COLD START ISSUE SINCE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IT CRANKS AND START UP FINE HOWEVER THE ENGINE RPM WILL DROP AND STRUGGLE TO STAY AT IDLE, ENGINE EVENTUALLY WILL STALL WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS. LAST WEEK WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A LOCAL STREET, THE ENGINE STALL ON ITS OWN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WENT AWAY AFTER A MINUTE, I MANAGED TO RESTART AND DROVE TO DESTINATION. THIS WAS THE FIRST EXPERIENCE OF STALLING DURING NORMAL DRIVING AND FIRST INCIDENT WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. BROUGHT A CAR TO A INDEPENDENT BMW TECHNICIAN AND FAULT CODE WAS INDICATING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS THE SOURCE OF STALLING.

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION - NOTICE STARTED POPPING UP AT RANDOM NOW IS ON ALL THE TIME WITHOUT A PASSENGER. HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON ALL BMW SPORTS SEATS FROM YEARS 2006 AND 2008, NOTICING COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2012 ISSUES POSTED ONLINE AS WELL. PREVIOUS ISSUE WAS FOR A CRACKED SENSOR IN THE SEAT. NOT HAPPY THAT BMW HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOT REVIEW POSSIBLE REOCCURRENCE IN NEWER MODELS THEN 2008.
