This BMW had a recall, we bought this car from a dealer ship March 2016, seatbelt and air bag light just came on. BMW should check this out at no cost and the recall should not be closed or there should be an exception when you buy a used BMW. It's a hazard if the air bag does not deploy or the seatbelt does not work

Takata recall. I received notice of a recall in Feb. 2016 for driver's seat airbag. To date, neither manufacturer nor dealer has any idea when they will have the parts to remedy the problem. Meantime, this is my sole means of transportation, and I am in danger every day. My understanding is BMW has 60 days to remedy the problem. This is way beyond reasonable at this point.

Front passenger seat caught fire and burnt a hole from bottom up, took to the mechanic and he said it was from the airbag sensor that caught it fire, I was getting hair done AT6 pm in evening, came out I hour later and smelt fire, looked and there was hole in seat, turned on air and rolled down windows, waived a magazine over it and made sure it was out. Drove home about 10 minutes away and air bag light came on. Tried to call BMW they were closed, went to my mechanic next morning he told me it was faulty to call BMW, I called BMW plaza and they told me tough they wouldnt do anything. I hated the hole so went to autozone to get something to repair it which made it look worse...been looking on line for seats very expensive. My boss told me as well that should be directed to attorney general which I messaged from Missouri and us attorney general. This could of been worse, if I would of been longer arriving to my car it could of caught fire possibly or even worse my daughter could of been there and burnt. If this would of been winter with the heated seat on she could of been severely burnt, maybe dead. This should of never happened.

Takata recall. Concerning NHTSA recall number 15V318. Vehicle BMW 330ci 2006 driver's front air bag. On June 17, 2015 I took my vehicle in to the BMW dealership, jackie cooper BMW in edmond, ok, phone number (405) 755-3600 and they replaced the passenger side air bag pursuant to BMW recall campaign number 14V-428. However, at that time they said "we don't have the driver's side front air bag. As of August 2, 2016, this dealership (a BMW dealership) is still telling me "we don't have the driver's front air bag and don't know when we can get it. Sorry." They are offering no further explanation or referral to another source to get this air bag replaced. I have uploaded a copy of my registration.
