Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2004 BMW 325

2004 BMW 325ci. Consumer writes in regards to passenger side airbag safety recall.

Takayuki recall a few years back, I received a recall notice for the passenger side airbag. (potentially lethal consequences if deployed). Last year, I received another recall, this time for the driver's airbag. I responded immediately and was placated with the promise of replacement. It has been eighteen months now and the dealer asks me to be patient. I recently found that it may take until 2020!!! for any replacement!!! I ask, simply would any prudent person drive my vehicle? living with the threat of death for four more years? what am I to do? I want a safe replacement at BMW's expense until my vehicle can be repaired. Yes my vehicle is 12 years old ( 60,000 miles) and yes I live in what considered a "humid" environment! help!.

"takata recall" I received notice of the recall by mail on 8/24/16 stating that I needed the driver and passenger side airbags replaced. I then proceeded to make an appointment on August 29th with global imports BMW located at 500 interstate n pkwy, atlanta, GA 30339. The service representative informed me that the parts were not in stock and would need to be ordered. However the recall notice did state that the parts were in stock and ready to be installed. I waited 2 weeks and never received a follow up phone call on the status of the air bags. I then called global BMW again, and they had no record of me calling, and claimed that they needed to order the airbags. This same exact issue re-occurred on my follow up phone calls on September 12th and 23rd. Then finally on October 3rd I placed another follow up phone call where once again they did not have my information, but did have a driver side airbag in stock. The customer service representative informed me that she would be checking on the status of the passenger air bag and give me a call. I called back the next day to check, and was told that they were not sure when they could obtain a passenger airbag. Over a month of phone calls and still nothing done. I am less than pleased and very concerned for the safety of me and my family while driving our vehicle. It has become obvious that BMW doesn't care about fixing the issue.

I received a letter from BMW stating airbags were in for recalls 15v-318 and 13v-172/14v-428. I took my car to BMW west in houston and was told TX does not have driver's side airbags yet. I had to leave my car overnight because they had to wait for the passenger bags from another BMW center. I will now be driving with a defective driver's airbag until parts are received.

Vehicle defects reported or recalled, BMW, oem, or other, yet with known defects was requested to drive an unsafe vehicle that is 'imminent danger' that can cause serious injury or death: airbags. BMW replaced driver side airbag in 9/ 2014 then passenger side. Yet in 2015 accident, the airbags failed to detonate, and injury to persons/property occurred. BMW recalled driver's side airbag (2nd repair/3rd airbag) in 2015 and parts are on back order. BMW has the 'defective vehicle' (I. E. Other issues engine, seat belts, etc. Remain) and provided a BMW loaner car through their affiliated partner (Toyota's jv alliance) enterprise in good faith pending repair. In June 2016, a 'cease & desist' was placed on the BMW, in part, due to a federal investigation or injury (I. E. Defective airbag- explosive device~shooting shrapnel) that leaves 'driver in harm's way'. One could infer 'attempted murder' if the driver is placed behind the wheel of a defective vehicle or airbag: millions of recalls. I am a material witness and am reporting intimidation, threats, hostility, and bullying over the BMW or defective airbags. This has resulted in professional defamation, personal injury, financial distress, and sabotage in various instances (to be reported in separate package to be sent to investigator due to confidentiality). The most recent occurred around June 23, 2016 when BMW/enterprise rental car stating "grand theft" of the vehicle in their possession or awaiting a swap? simple fact that BMW stated that an 'interim fix' was approved by dots but needed signed consent forms-- was sending them to me. BMW did not follow procedures, 'unauthorized entry, removal, destruction' of airbag with a 'cease & desist¿. On 6/24/16 going to enterprise/alamo-orlando was no issue/no unpaid bill. This did not stop continuation of harassment or retaliation (e. G. Asef) unconstitutional or uncivil conduct.

Takata recall - in July 2015, I had the passenger side airbag replaced per the BMW recall, however, I was also notified that the driver side airbag was to be replaced but parts were not available. My car has been located in sw florda for over 9 yrs and after repeated calls to my sarasota dealer, still have not been notied that parts are available. My last contact with the dealer during March 2016, I was advised that the repair is still not available.

Takata recall: I am currently in communication with state farm agent, terry wood [(434) 872-2813]. She has assured me that an investigation is underway at this time. We are stating that my BMW¿s side airbags suddenly deployed and unexpectedly causing me to lose power steering and braking ability. As I approached and entered a right turn lane in an street intersection located in stockton, California, my passenger side airbags suddenly deployed. Startled, I tried to pull over to the side of the road, but, with the loss of power steering, I was not able to safely control the vehicle. After making contact with the curb, I had to use all my strength to correct from it and try to make the upcoming right turn, but without power steering, I was not able to make the turn sharp enough leading me to make a wide turn into the oncoming lane. And without the ability to brake properly and safely, there was no way to avoid the impact. Additionally, the main area of the car with all the damage (driver¿s front) failed to deploy the appropriate airbag. Terry wood is my point of contact with this investigation. We hope to have BMW take some (if not, all) blame in the incident due to faulty airbags and/or unexpected deployment of airbags.

Takata recall driver's side air bag recalled. Told that parts are not available (July 30, 2015) at dealership and will notify when available. Still waiting for the parts and concerned about safety.

Takata recall: dealer keeps saying they are "working" on getting a replacement for my driver side air bag. I think I am getting a "run around" because my auto is a 2004 model. Please help me get this replaced.

I received 2 notices by mail to contact the BMW dealer to replace the passenger-side air bag and was told, don't call us we'll callyou. That was 6 months ago and I have not heard from the local BMW dealer, "field's BMW. " three months ago I called again and they said they are on back order. I can't take a passenger with me and floridais supposed to have priority for replacement.

The passenger side curtain airbag on 2004 BMW 325i 4-door sedan went off while driving for no reason. No one was in the passenger seat, no impact to car, wheels, or anything. Traveling about 38 mph.

Takata recall first the passenger side airbag was recalled, after waiting over one year, it was removed and replaced. Now the driver's airbag has been recalled. We responded immediately. We have been waiting for over two years! no contact, no replacement. We continue to live in peril of the lethal deployment of the defective airbag and BMW just says wait?.
