Takata recall issue has not been resolved from dealship. Contact dealership to follow up when repair can be made and always being informed of parts backed ordered and was told they will contact me when they receive parts. Never once heard back and I would call back again for follow up and keep getting told the same thing, parts back ordered and they will get parts within a week and will contact me when they get the parts. Being told the same issue over and over again every time I contact to schedule repair on this recall. And never will I get a followup notice and have been this way for nearly a year.

We received notice a of recall over a year ago and yet whenever I call my local BMW they tell me there is nothing to worry about and that we will be notified when they can fix it. They tell me that it is mostly older vehicles that are affected. . . . But ours is 8 years old.

Takata recall. I received the recall notice in the mail in February 2017. I contacted the BMW dealer (north scottsdale BMW, scottsdale az) and was told the part was not available and we would be contacted when it was received. We followed up April and were told the same thing. The car was then relocated to alabama in may. In June we contacted the local BMW dealer (mobile BMW) and were told the same story. We followed up in September and were told, again, the part is not available. This is really bad given the safety concerns involved. It is now 8 months since receiving the original recall notice and we still have a potential deadly issue that BMW dealers in two states are consistently ignoring.

Takata air bag recall, pcv valve recall, blower motor recall, and constant electrical problems. Issues still not resolved by BMW. Issue keeps getting blown off by BMW.

My airbag has not been replaced and the dealer blames the supplier of the airbag. I am stuck and at risk as I drive from new orleans to _______ more than five hours away frequently.

Takata recall I have contacted BMW customer service at least 3 times to get an estimation as to when my vehicle will have the airbag replaced. BMW does not seem to be able to give me a time line. Over the last 3 months all they can say is "there is a shortage of parts" ''you will be notified when parts are received". How long is a reasonable wait to get the airbag fixed on a car that is driven daily?.

Takata recall I was involved in a motor vehicle accident on 10/1/2016. I had a friend drive my car while I rode in the passenger seat. My friend ended up driving into the back of another vehicle at a stop light. We were driving approximately 30 mph. Unfortunately, my forearm and wrist broke after the air bags deployed and hit me. I remember chewing metal debris. I remember the pain that radiated from my wrist to my elbow because of the airbags impact. I underwent surgery 2 weeks later (I had to wait for the swelling to subside) I had 2 plates, 18 pins, and 11 screws inserted. My wrist will never be the same again. I feel as though the airbags did more damage than good. Attached is the police report, pictures, and a copy of my surgeon's instructions after surgery.
