I received notice of a potential airbag recall for my car. When I went to airbagrecall. Com website and entered my car info. I was given 2 recalls (not the airbag) that were issues in October. (pvc valve heater; blower motor wiring) it has already been 3 months since the recalls were issues and when I called to schedule an appt to have them resolved. I was told parts would not be available for 2-6 months. I consider 5-9 months to get safety issues on my car resolved unreasonable. The manufacturer obviously knew about the problem before the recall was even issued. They have had ample time to identify the quantity needed and ramp up production!.

The car has been recalled by BMW national due to 2 recalls: the pvc valve gasket and the heating wireframe. Car had been showing signs of smoke coming out of hood and smell of plastic burned inside the cabin. BMW national asked the car to be towed to a dealership. Car is actually with the dealership for over 6 weeks and BMW has not given any prevision when it will be repaired. Please help.

On November 19, 2017, I was traveled from nyc to lowell, MA. The car experienced of excessive vibration and raddling noise from right front passenger side. I investigated the raddling and vibration issue found that front right engine mount bolts all three bolts snapped without warning. The bolts found to be an aluminum bolts. I believe this bolts should not be an aluminum, because there are a lot of force in this location. I believe an engine mounts should not be allowed with aluminum. I could of getting kill if not knowing to look for and the car could crush since one side of the engine bolts snapped. This is a serious safety concern.
