Takata recall. My complaint concerns the delay in parts availability to fix driver's side airbag. This is taking way to long and am worried as to possibility of injury, or worse, if involve in an accident. In my opinion "lack of parts" is taking way too long . Nothing has happened yet.

I was notified of recall campaign 15v-318 in July 2015. Driver side air bag needs to be replaced due to possible serious injury or death if inflated on impact. I have called the local dealership. Inskip BMW on numerous occasions and they say that they have not received the replacement part. If it is this dangerous, why is it taking so long?.

Takata recall. The driver side air bag module has been on recall for over 5 months. This is my daughters can and she is unsafe. Is there an estimate when this replacement modules will be available.

Takata recall of front drivers side air bags. I received notice of recall over a year ago. I am still being told by BMW that the part needed to repair the vehicle is unavailable. . It is unacceptable and wrong to wait well over a year to have a recall repair! and I'm still waiting. I just spoke to the BMW dealership and was told again that there are no parts for the repair. I'd like to get this taken care of so please do something about it.

On 12/21/06, I was driving on a two-lane road when another driver lost control of his truck, his backend slid off the road and when the back tires gained traction, it shot his truck across his lane and into the side of my car with the front of his truck. His truck ended up damaging my car down the entire driver side (front to rear). My side impact air bags never deployed. My side mirror came through my window and struck me in the arm with glass impacting my left ear, eye and cheek as well as my mouth. The collision center cannot explain why the air bag never deployed. The car is still at the collision center with $10,000 worth of damage.

Inadvertent deployment of my driver side airbags. I was driving on highway at approximately 50 mph (due to rain) and my airbags deployed. I was able to safely pull over to side of road. Tire was blown out and there was some damage to bottom of car from debris, but it is unclear if blowout and debris damage happened before or after airbag deployment. Either way, there was no impact with any object that should have caused this deployment. My car has not been driven for nearly 4 weeks now and it should have only needed a tire replacement. Any other damages could have been fixed in my own time, but car is not drivable b/c of airbag deployment and repair costs are very high.

While driving on the freeway, consumer hit an 80 pound piece of iron that was lying in the road, which resulted in 2 blown tires on the drivers side front and rear, both rims bent, consumer was able to control the vehicle and pull over, consumers concern is that the right side door air bag deployed even though the impact was on the left side of the vehicle, consumers wife suffered a bruise from the deployment of the airbag, there is also other damage to the vehicle.
