general problems of the 2014 BMW 328

Several BMW dealerships have told me they are unable to remedy a safety recall that pertains to the airbags. This puts anyone who drives this vehicle at severe risk if the airbags will not work. The dealership basically told me I'm out of luck. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and they said they cannot fix it. I have tried contacting 4 BMW dealerships with no luck. There are no warning lamps or messages on the dash. The recall was announced to me April 2024.

Fortunately, an incident has yet to occur, but the front passenger air bag occupancy sensor is faulty causing the deactivation of the air bag rendering any passenger at risk. BMW of north America has been contacted about this faulty sensor. Recall b651017 & 17v-428 have addressed this faulty sensor on many BMW models with replacement as the remedy…a stated (3) hour repair. My BMW model (328i - 62k miles) unfortunately, is not listed on the recall notice, but, nonetheless, is still a safety issue. Serious enough that on the recall it states that no passenger should sit in the front passenger seat while this faulty condition exists and further recommends passengers sit in the rear seats! regardless of warranty status and recall model omission, I have reached out to BMW of north America. First response was refusal of any repair assistance with a textbook definition of a car warranty. It was further reviewed by their escalation team and the response was an echo of the first. If this wasn’t a safety issue that wasn’t addressed on other models via a recall, I wouldn’t be writing this and would abide by the car warranty and take care of myself. Since this is a known issue by BMW, I feel this repair should be taken care of as it affects the safety of my family. It affects any future owner as well, which now leaves me a car that is basically unsafe to sell leaving me in double jeopardy. After researching costs for this repair, it seems the average is $1500-$2000 which I cannot afford. I have offered to pay for parts and some labor but the escalation team (clay) has offered zero in assistance. I leave this correspondence on record in case of an unfortunate event that could’ve been easily rectified and avoided. Thank you for allowing me to explain my situation. Sincerely, rob scalise.

Unknown: vehicle collided with another vehicle on highway and control system and functions stopped. Airbag on driver’s side malfunctioned burning driver with liquid and metal.

I was driving to target and from a stop I was 75% through the turn when a car ran the stop sign and hit my car straight on . The impact was supposed to deploy the airbags but was not deployed due to a malfunction, I was injured in this accident from my neck down my back . My injury claim is still open with the party at fault.

I went to park my mom's car. Tapped the brakes, moved up a little, tapped the brakes again-the brakes gave out and the car lunged forward at a high speed. The only reason I stopped was because a metal fence stopped me. Earlier in the day the car switched modes by itself from sport to economy. This is the 2nd time this has happened in this car. The first time my mom was parking in her driveway and the brakes gave out and the car lunged into her garage. This car is not safe.

The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328i. The contact stated that while stopped at a red light, another vehicle crashed into the entire rear at 50 mph causing the contact's vehicle to spin around twice and come to a stop in the middle of the street. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not destroyed. Two people were injured, the contact was seated in the driver's seat, and his brother was seated in the front passenger seat. No one else outside of the vehicle was injured. The contact and his brother received injuries to both their heads and backs. Medical treatment was not needed for the injuries. The vehicle was taken to a local body shop where the vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Fault in airbag on screen, comes on and off. Started around 61,513 miles. Exact message "fault in airbag, belt rensioner or belt-force limiter. Few days later, check engine comes on, along with high rpm's, while struggling to accelerate. 12/10/2018 engine is extremely loud and dropping off at dealer. Also back tail lights have moisture, back passenger was replaced a year ago. Driver side now needs replacing.

Error: passenger restraint system error message: malfunction. Continue wearing safety belt. Consult nearest service center. This is occurring consistently. BMW is not taking responsibility. I have had repaired it twice but dont know what exactly they did. I did not see error for a week or so after repairs but again saw it. I have read and heard that there are lot of people having same issues with their Bmws.

Air bag and seat belt of passenger side led turned on. Parking light turns on and driver seat alignment on without reason.

Takata recall.

Takata recall -- 1. 4 years is long enough!!!!! lack of information from BMW, dealer has no information on when they will be replaced. Middle of 2016 they said early spring of 2017 and still no information. Pleasee help, this is why NHTSA exists to protect consumers and put pressure on the big manufacturers to fix serious safety issues. We served 52+ years between the two of us in the military and don't choose to be severely injured by an airbag in a luxury vehicle that might spray shrapnel.

2007 Toyota highlander observed running red light and t-boned the driver's side of a 2014 BMW 328ix. Impact of collission was meaningful and direct, generating in excess of $10,000 of structural repairs to driver's side alone. No air bag deployment (front, side, curtain, etc) in the BMW despite of magnitude, force and placement of the collision. Driver of BMW sustained severe head, facial and bodily injuries requiring invasive medical attention and protracted physical therapy.

I was about to park in a cul-DE-sac going about 5 mph, while I was half way through the cul-DE-sac the BMW 328d had a sudden acceleration and in a very high speed crashed into a tree. I do not recall the exact speed when it crashed but it was very high, it felt and sounded like a race car. My foot was on the break right when it accelerated. It seems like a major mechanical / electrical problem with this car. Called BMW hq to report the issue. A case manager has been assigned but no one contacted me yet.
