Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2005 BMW 325

I was driving and my side air bag and door air bag on the driver side deployed with no cause for this to happen. I pulled over. Nothing at that time was smoking or wrong with the vehicle. I drove the vehicle further down the road for about ten minutes to get closer to my boyfriend's house. I stopped in a lot to call him. Put the car in park and turned the engine off and the front end on the right side started to smoke. I got out of the vehicle and the front end slowly bursted into flames.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 BMW 325i. The contact received notification of a manufacturer's recall for the drivers side air bag. The dealer stated that the parts were available and completed the recall repair. The contact also received a notice for a passenger side air bag recall. The dealer did not state if the parts were available. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. The NHTSA campaign numbers were not provided. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Please remove this vehicle from the recall list for takata air bag replacement. . I had the driver's side air bag replaced in 2016, at the BMW dealership in wilmington, nc. I have no idea why the replacement wasn't reported, but that dealership did have an ownership change after my replacement. I continue to receive dozens of notifications for this recall, that has already been completed. I've contacted BMW at least 3 times, but somehow I'm still on this list. Please remove my vehicle from the recall list immediately.

It took over a year to get parts for the passenger side air bag, just got the car back and received notice of a recall of the drivers side air bag and no date for repair, I can not sell the car or trade it in because of the defect. BMW refuses to provide compensation. I have been given the run around by the manufacturer regarding a loaner car or a replacement. I want BMW to purchase the vehicle immediately so I can obtain a safe vehicle to drive.

I received a written recall notice from BMW of north America, llc, in July 2015 about the driver's side airbag defect that could result in "metal fragments striking the front driver . . . [and] potentially resulting in serious injury or death" if the airbag was deployed. I asked the dealer to remove the faulty airbag, leaving me with lap and shoulder restraint, and install the correct airbag module when it was received. I was told that, by law, air bags could not be removed and that they would not do so. I feel that my request was valid under the circumstances, would not be a violation of the law under those circumstances, and was a reasonable accommodation since, as of October 14, 2015, there is evidence that new bags will be received in the near future. The dealer's position results in my having to drive a vehicle that could kill me in a collision at no more than 25 mph, the speed I was told would cause any airbag in that car to deploy. There has been no agreement by the dealer or BMW USA to provide, at no cost to me, another vehicle for my normal and customary use. More than enough time has passed to remedy this problem since, even prior to the official written recall notice, BMW knew that specific part to be defective and not susceptible to shop repair. This position is supported by the fact that an earlier recall was issued for the passenger side airbag and relatively quick replacement was made. I am now going on three months with no assurance that a remedy will be provided in the foreseeable future, and BMW's admission that use of the defective automobile exposes me to serious injury or death.

The contact owns a 2005 BMW 325xi. The contact stated that the dealer confirmed that the driver side air bag was the same exact air bag used in the recall under NHTSA campaign number: 14v428000 (air bags) could possibly have occurred with the drivers side air bag, which was inadvertent deployment. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact did not experience a failure.

Ii received a safety recall letter from BMW stating that the passenger side air bag is being recalled, but they have done nothing to rectify this colossal dangerous problem.

I am writing you to tell you that I have a vehicle affected by the air bag recall - twice I have scheduled for replacement, twice the dealership has called me on the morning of the appointment to say the parts are not in stock. They are not apologetic, nor concerned for the urgency of this situation. I travel a very difficult route into the city - during rush hour - and have asked them to at least disconnect the bag for the passenger side. They refuse to do so. This evening the news reported that even drivers side airbags are being recalled. Why is this taking so long? do deaths and injuries have to top the hundred mark for car manufacturers and their representatives to get into high gear over this? the occasional news report just isn;t doing it -car dealers and manufacturers are responding in a very slow and seemingly unconcerned fashion. At least my BMW dealer is. Some help would be deeply appreciated.
