36 Air Bag problem of the 2002 BMW 530

Failure Date: 11/06/2017

I have called (877. 432. 7841) every time I received a notice of our airbag recall. They can never get in contact with a dealer in my area to get this fixed. I have called and been put on hold 3 times for an extended time and am told to 'call back later'. If this is an urgent recall and the airbag is defective I would like this remedied ASAP as this is a family vehicle my wife and kids ride in.

57 Air Bag problem of the 2006 BMW 530

Failure Date: 10/20/2015

I have a 2006 BMW 530i (make: 03/05). Two days back, while I was driving home from work (highway), suddenly the message, "passenger restraint malfunction" came up and when I researched about this, I found that there is a recall for the 2006 BMW 530i's for this issue (recall subject : front seat occupant protection mat, NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000) . But, when I emailed BMW regarding the issue, they said my VIN is not included in the recall list. I am not sure why all the cars are not included when they are made in same year and same model. I am attaching the screenshot of the email that BMW customer care has sent me and also of the error message in the car. This has become a safety issue for my car now. So, could you please look into this issue and resolve this for me. Thank you in advance.

64 Air Bag problem of the 2003 BMW 530

Failure Date: 07/12/2015

"takata recall" - my 2003 BMW driver-side front air bag module (15v-318) was recalled in July 2015 and I can't get any info from BMW if they will ever fix it. I have been calling for one year on this, as I was instructed to do by BMW, and they still will provide me with no information as to if or when it will ever be replaced. They have notified me that the air bag can result in "serious injury or death. " I have documentation on my numerous attempts to resolve this by calling every 3-4 months as they requested. It has now gone on for one year, and when I said to the BMW representative a couple of days ago, "it seems like this could go on and on and nothing will ever get fixed," the response was "that's correct. " I have read on-line that you should "take public transportation or ride share" but I live in l. A. And require a car to et to and from work. I won't let my son drive my car because I fear for his safety. I can't afford another car. I read on-line that older cars (mine is a 2003) and heat (I live in the san fernando valley of California and it gets hot) can make the air bag more dangerous. I have been driving this car, knowing it's dangerous, for a year, and I am always fearful that someone next to me on the freeway might drift into my lane, while texting, causing the dangerous air bag to go off and send metal shards into me. This can't go on with no end in sight. I feel like they just want me to get so frustrated that I dump my car. I'm definitely frustrated, but I need to keep this car. Please help me get some answers and a time when this can be fixed. It's an unacceptable stress to put on someone that they could die from a faulty airbag while the company keeps refusing to give you information and has no intention to fix it in a timely manner. I have documents regarding their notification and my phone calls to them. Thank you.
