The ground wire on my break light has burned through the 8 pin connector not only is this limiting my ability to warn other drivers it is a major fire hazard this was discovered during a recall service at the local dealership I do not believe. The proper steps have been taken to remedy this problem and if this can not be resolved informally I would like to pursue formal litigation against all parties involved and for discovery purpose all related correspondence, video, and recorded evidence should be preserved. Currently the break light is not working and there are defective and hazardous airbags.

I called my dealer last year to schedule to fix my recall on my car. Unfortunately I did not went to my appointment. Now one of the bags exploded, and I called the delegar again to do my recall, but to my surprise the have my car in records as repair!! and I told the that never happened. They promised to check and call me back and has not happened either. This is the BMW san antonio texas delegar. I believe this is fraud! I want to have the recall done and I want to make sure they don't go away with it. I don't have any documentation to upload about it because it doesn't exist. Nevertheless I do have a picture that shows the airbag that exploded is from 2003, as the rest of them. I feel so angry and disappointed. My name is mario pastrana, owner of the 2004 BMW 325ci.

Nhtsa does not recognize the recalls on my 2004 BMW 325xi 4dr sedan. There were 2 recalls that are related to air bags. The NHTSA campaign numbers are #15v318000 and #14v428000. I would like to receive official confirmation that these recalls are valid so I can get the manufacturer to fix this. Please see the supporting docs attached. Also, I have been having weird electrical issues happening to the point the car wont shut off at times, headlights go out after a day, turn signal goes out, car dies, stereo wont work etc. I was wondering if other recalls were placed on this car as well?.

BMW 325xi 2004, after substantial or unreasonable delay in the BMW return, was perceived to be rendered unsafe/unsatisfactory/incomplete, with airbag defects/spillover effects, or released with known defects to the vehicle that put the driver and unsuspecting occupants at risk of serious bodily injury up to death. BMW was to send a 'consent form', then vehicle owner was to review/sign/return, BMW would then order 'interim airbag' parts, and repair. The consent form was not received or signed, June 2016, BMW enter/repair without authorization, or signed consent forms, and made unknown changes to the airbag/systems. The toxins remain has corroded it or released toxins/odor. The vehicle was on a 'cease & desist' airbag repair pending the receipt and execution of the consent form as agreed. BMW failed to make the repairs per quote and airbag [I. E. Explosive device; sodium azide azium; shrapnel, etc. ] was left in an unsafe state. The vehicle needs an inspection by NHTSA, as it is believed to be contaminated or corroded, by unknown toxins (I. E sodium azide or azium?). Persons exposed have contacted cdc/poison center who stated that persons not have further contact with BMW till inspected? see claim 10881628 for same/similar background. The owners were subjected to foreseeable toxins, from the airbag defects/recalls/ unauthorized repairs to the BMW, pending a "consent form", and has resulted in injury or medical care or poison control center consultations. The toxins had a 'sharp odor', overwhelming as reported, and exposure resulted in damages to persons or property, awaiting estimates to be completed. Importantly, exposure to sodium azide can be fatal and the vehicle needs an inspection by NHTSA or dot. If you do not inspect unsafe vehicles, with perceived safety concerns, please provide a referral or preferred source due to the serious public health and safety issues.

BMW jointly owned vehicle, was not returned to customers on demand, nor swapped as is customary business practice (I. E. BMW repair/recalled for BMW loaner car), and held for unreasonable amount of time. BMW recalled the vehicle, in part, defective airbags, and was to send a consent form to the customers prior to ordering parts/repairs. The customers never received the consent form as assured and expressed concerns about the BMW who damaged the vehicle in their possession or disabled state. July 15, 2016 BMW flatbed delivered with unidentified chemicals/toxins that resulted in front end physical damages and/or toxins in BMW that resulted in "poison exposure", toxology tests pending. The toxins maybe airbag chemicals, sodium azide, hydrazoic acid, or others, and need BMW tested. Please inform on who specifically performs these tests or agency that does quickly due to the toxic nature. BMW had a duty to disclose these facts to customers, insurance, government, and others. 49 usc safety act 30101. Dot states ¿loaner vehicle¿ is customary practice in airbag recall, an obligation oem dealership, thus request the process in securing the loaner vehicle or reinstatement. BMW by affiliates, unilaterally took BMW loaner without providing a repaired BMW, unfair exchange, and was returned in a disabled status. ¿but for¿ wrecked/recalled defective BMW, a loaner would not have been required, safety act, 49 usc 30101. Please respond in writing, the process to (1) secure chemical tests; (2) vehicle safety review or decontamination, and (3) loaner car approval process for insurance. Nhtsa safety act, 49 usc §30101 delegated by secretary of transportation, 49 cfr §1. 95, inspect/investigate §30166(b)(1); civil penalties §30165(b); ensure recalled §30118-119; adequacy of recalls 49 usc §30120(c)(1), accelerate remedy programs 30120(c)(3); and other 49 usc §30166(g): BMW loaner.

Notified many months ago driver air bag could kill and it was being replaced under a recall. I call every month to no help by BMW. Months later, BMW says "tacata air bag company going bankrupt so good luck" ever getting the part. Why isn't BMW being forced to resolve this? so, if I or anyone driving a recalled car dies, BMW is well aware of the prior problem and is an accomplice for aiding and abetting in nothing being done for the many BMW customers.
