6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2016

"takata recall"- we received a letter dated September 2016 about the recall of the passenger airbag and our car was included in the recall. It says " your vehicle is also affected by a passenger airbag recall" and " we are pleased to inform you that we have the necessary parts to complete this recall". Prior to the letter ( August 26, 2016), this particular car had changed oil at pacific BMW and checked the airbag and noted " recall: performs recalls/ replace driver's airbag/ parts not available at this time/ unable to perform recall". They adviced me to contact the dealership on this matter, we contacted on the following month but they said " there was no available parts" and they would call us once it's available. It's been 6 months now and we haven't receive any call or advice from the dealership ( pacific BMW ) about the availability of the said airbag recall and when to replace it. Our car just sitting in the garage or we barely use it because of this airbag recall and afraid to put myself and my family in danger. I really need your help to resolve this matter. Thank you very much. Agripino malabute/jazmin malabute tel no (213) 258-5545 email: jazmalabute@gmail. Com.

Takata recall four months ago I received a written notice from BMW USA that my driver side front airbag needed to be replaced (recall campaign no. 15v-318), but that parts were not yet available. Over four months have passed and I have heard nothing further on this recall from BMW USA or my local dealership. The original notice that I received indicated that I could notify NHTSA if this matter was not resolved within a reasonable period of time. I am doing so with this message and asking what recourse I have in getting this matter addressed?.

25 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2014

I received a recall notice that the front passenger airbag in my only car is defective. I called the BMW dealership in greenwood indiana to schedule the replacement of this part. I was informed that I would be placed on a waiting list since this part is "back ordered". They promised to call me as soon as the part was available but could not state when that call would occur. I told the gentleman that I must drive a long distance every week for business with my standard poodle sitting in the front seat. My dog provides security on these long drives. The salesman stated that the air bag would deploy only if there was an accident. I further inform him that the we were in the middle of hunting season and the highway I drive on has frequent accidents with deer running out across the highway. He once again stated that the car was safe to drive as long as there are no accidents. The idea of this air bag rupturing while I am driving or if an accident occurs does not make me feel safe. I also am concerned that BMW has known about this defect for years and did not send me recall notice until a month ago. But the last insult is that I have to wait an indefinite time to have my only car repaired.
