42 Air Bag problem of the 2001 BMW 330

Failure Date: 08/25/2017

Takata recall I called 1 877 432 7841. After explaining that I lived hundreds of miles from the nearest BMW dealer, I was told by the phone rep that my case would be accelerated and that I would be hearing back by phone. I waited days, but no one ever called me. I then called 1-800-831-1117. I got bounced around and was finally connected with a BMW dealer in idaho falls, almost 500 miles from my home in rosebud, montana. The person who spoke to me was very young, had a poor attitude, and wanted to order me around. She ignored all my pleas. I am 65 years old and drive hundreds of miles per week for my usda job. I thus do not have the physical stamina or time to drive to idaho falls. Nevertheless she told me I had to drive to idaho falls for a Saturday appointment. She informed me that any expenses I incurred (gasoline, lodging, etc. ) had to come out of my own pocket and that I would not be reimbursed. I begged her to have the airbags sent to a mechanic or body shop near me in montana. She refused. I ended the conversation and sent an sos email to the dot. The dot has never answered my email.

48 Air Bag problem of the 2001 BMW 330

Failure Date: 07/14/2017

I bought a used 2001 BMW 330ci 2dr coupe on the date of may 5th 2017. I had this vehicle for a very short amount of time approximately 7 weeks time. The takata air bag was present in this model, on top of that the well known overheating issue came my way. My model would overheat at the point where the auxiliary electrical fan would not kick in to avoid overheating. Electrical stability was at lost due to these present issues. Oddly enough the fan would actually run in reverse polarity pushing air out of the engine when it should be pulling the air in. While driving on a city street my car overheated causing me to break down, a thermostat issue could be present all of this occurred in motion.

49 Air Bag problem of the 2003 BMW 330

Failure Date: 07/03/2017

Hi I have two BMW's that qualify for this recall. I learned about it 6 weeks ago. My fianc� and I havnt been able to use our vehicles in almost 2 months! I even called and went to the BMW of and they said they would order the air bag for the one and our second car they would write the order up when I left the dealership . Needless to say I even brought over a dealership memo from BMW because I work in the auto industry and have acesss to identifix. Com, I showed them the notice where they have to give customers loaner vehicles or pay up to $68 a day for a rental car. They keep ignoring my calls.

58 Air Bag problem of the 2004 BMW 330

Failure Date: 01/10/2017

1-10-2017 approx. 5:15pm. Driving home on I-80 freeway, rainy weather, 5pm traffic, so I was driving less than 55mph, there is some rough road but not really any potholes. I drove over the bad road and the driver curtain and door airbags deployed there was never any impact but the road did shake the car. There is no damage to the car that from the road. I drive the same route home in our other car daily and it never sets the air bag off or anyone else driving that extremely busy freeway.

59 Air Bag problem of the 2006 BMW 330

Failure Date: 12/19/2016

I had both air bags replaced under the takata recall and now I'm getting a "passenger restraint system malfunction" error on my display. There is an open recall NHTSA campaign id number: 08v384000 that is for the same issue and for my model and year but the VIN is not showing that recall. The error happened just when the car was started and it shows whether someone is sitting in the passenger with the seatbelt on or if the seat is empty. I am worried that the airbag won't deploy in the case of an emergency. Please let me know if this would be included in the recall as well for a safety issue. I've called BMW and was told this would not be covered either.

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.
