I received a recall notice that the front passenger airbag in my only car is defective. I called the BMW dealership in greenwood Indiana to schedule the replacement of this part. I was informed that I would be placed on a waiting list since this part is "back ordered". they promised to call me as soon as the part was available but could not state when that call would occur. I told the gentleman that I must drive a long distance every week for business with my standard poodle sitting in the front seat. My dog provides security on these long drives. The salesman stated that the air bag would deploy only if there was an accident. I further inform him that the we were in the middle of hunting season and the highway I drive on has frequent accidents with deer running out across the highway. He once again stated that the car was safe to drive as long as there are no accidents. The idea of this air bag rupturing while I am driving or if an accident occurs does not make me feel safe. I also am concerned that BMW has known about this defect for years and did not send me recall notice until a month ago. But the last insult is that I have to wait an indefinite time to have my only car repaired.

After 4 weeks of receiving recall notice and many calls to BMW North America they tell me there are no parts available and they don't know when they might be available. They also told me this is a "voluntary recall" and implied that they are in no hurry to satisfy customers! they have also warned me several times not to drive with a passenger in the front seat!

I was driving northbound on sepulveda blvd in los angeles on July 29th,2013 around 10:00 pm with my brother, suddenly the passenger side airbag deployed for no reason and bruised my brother's right arm my car stopped operating and we called payless tow to tow my vehicle to rusnak BMW in westlake village were I purchased the vehicle from. I talked to the service dept in regards to my car airbag incident, they told me that the warranty was expired and I have to pay out of pocket. I contacted my insurance company state farm to see if they provide coverage, they told since this was vehicle malfunction this was not covered under my policy. I strongly believe that this should be handled by BMW corporation. They have to repair my vehicle and pay for my brother injury. Please feel free to contact me at any time should you have any further question I appreciate your assistance in this regard thank you, sincerely Ms. Shahrzad babaeian

I have a 2005 330I BMW and the seatbelt/airbag sensor have been lighting up. I took it to the BMW dealership and they said that it is an internal error in the seatbelt sensor of the passenger side. I understand that this is a recall issue as stated by BMW and I would like to have it repaired as soon as possible. The model production # is KM42802.
