Takata recall. BMW has failed to provide any information regarding the recall. It has now been a year and a half since the recall was announced and every time I call BMW to ask for details they say there is nothing they can do. If BMW cant provide replacement airbags fast enough to fix their cars that are defective, then they need to provide loaner cars or a buy-back program. Having to wait 18 months without even getting an update as to when my car will even be fixed is ridiculous.

I am a 2008, BMW X3 driver. I had my air bag fixed (I think) yet, the air bag light is still on. Also, the brake light and engine light. I do not know what is going on. This drama is over a year old. I have supportive documents, voicemails and emails to support my efforts.

NHTSA campaign number: 16V071000. Almost a year and a half and still no resolution from BMW meanwhile we are at risk everyday. I would like to at least see a schedule for repair rather than them using attrition to mitigate their cost.

Takata recall. I have been notified of the recall for this item more than a year ago and there has been no progress in replacing defects. Meanwhile, we are driving a time bomb that is more likely to injure us than offer protect from impacts.when is NHTSA going to force BMW to make repairs. My car is 9 years old now and I have been driving without protection for that long and the car's resale value is affected by this as well.

Takata recall - became aware of driver's side air bag recall in June 2016; contacted local BMW dealer who estimated parts available to fix by October 2016. Contacted my BMW dealer again in January 2017 and was told parts are provided to BMW dealers based on VIN, that my VIN was on record with BMW, and that I'd be contacted when they became available. This nine month wait is unreasonable for this significant safety issue, and no estimate of when repairs will be made has been provided.

My car was on recall for a defective airbag. I was notified in March 2016. I was told by my dealer they would notify me when they had an airbag. When I didn't hear from them still by early August I asked for a loaner car as I no longer felt safe in my car because of the constant worry about the airbag. BMW instructed me to park my car and "not drive it" which I did. Finally on 11/28/16 they said they had an airbag. I brought the car in. The result from it sitting for so long has rusted my perfectly maintained brakes and rotors to be not safe to drive and my hood is frozen shut with possibility of flying off and killing someone. BMW will not be responsible for the damage caused by the car sitting so long and I believe they should be. It is thousands of dollars worth of damage on a car that was perfectly safely drivable before I parked it to wait for an airbag. I have the BMW recall and the paperwork that says I had to park and not drive my car. They say I was supposed to maintain my car. I started it regularly to be sure battery was good and everything seemed ok. I don't know what else I should have know to maintain if the car was ordered to be parked and not driven. They should be responsible for this. Can you please help?
