Getting "passenger restraint system" error for no apparent reason at all. I'm afraid the airbags won't deploy in case of accident.

I received a safety recall notice with the heading "final remedy available" and was instructed to contact my BMW service center to schedule a repair. When I did, I was advised that the remedy is unavailable and will not be available until a later date, maybe the summer of 2017. The notice suggests that I inform the NHTSA if BMW is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time. Given that it is unclear when the remedy will be available, I am notifying the NHTSA of my experience. Thank you.

Had several recalls sent but everytime I contact and took my car. BMW stated that parts are not in. Been 2 years, so I was still paying and then told until get get fixed. No payments will be made on a car they knew was a safety hazard and did not for 2 years. Took car again in 2/2017. Same answer. Now they want to take care and charge me due to their lack to service my BMW, which is a safety hazard to drive

Takata recall - recall notice received over one year ago. No action has been taken by BMW to date. I have serious safety concerns about continuing to drive this vehicle and effectively cannot trade it in on another vehicle since its value is significantly diminished until the recall is completed.
