I’m writing to escalate an unresolved issue following a recent airbag takata recall repair performed at BMW of manhattan on my 2007 BMW X3 VIN [xxx] ) , license [xxx] prior to the recall service, there were no airbag or srs warning lights on my dashboard. Immediately after the repair, however, the airbag light appeared, and I have since been informed by the dealership that it is unrelated to their work and my responsibility to address — despite this issue arising only after their service. This raises serious safety and liability concerns, especially considering the recall involved the airbag system. I respectfully request: a formal investigation into the cause of the warning light a no-cost diagnostic scan by the dealer to confirm or rule out installation error assistance in resolving the issue promptly under BMW’s recall and warranty obligations. I have documentation from the service visit and can provide photos or service reports upon request. I was never given a document when I first picked up my car and would like to know what was exactly done to my vehicle since your service advisor strongly believes information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
1. My car is very old and has 189,000 miles. Takata airbag recalls are now known and issued by the nhsta, it shows that I have 6 recalls and BMW does not see the recalls. As well as my brakes they are super soft and the only thing I did for the brakes is replace new brake pads they are oem and also my emergency parking brakes are not working. It is avaible for inspection. 2. My safety while driving the car is at risk because I dont know if the airbag will work or fail at any moment. 3. The problem has not been solved and BMW seattle states that, "we do not see any recalls, and I am not saying that there isn't but because of the age of the car I don't know. " BMW seattle service receptionist states. 4. The vehichle has not been inspected for any safety recalls or notices. I have tried to call them about the safety and they always deny and say I dont know. 5. First it was the engine warning and now the low tire preasure light. But I always keep my car on top of things. But like I said 6 recalls that BMW don't see and I have called them about is very concerning for my safety and they safety of my passengers as well as kids that ride with me.
I have contacted NHTSA and BMW several times. I want this in writing in the case myself or my children are injuried when in this vehicle. My BMW X3 is my only form of transportation the engine light is on and it has started to smoke twice when engine is off. I just purchased the car second week of March 2022. It is hard for the car to accelerate and once the car is stopped at light or stop sign, the car does not have enough power to drive away or pull off. The car rpm goes very high and then low. This issue is unsafe and unfair that a customer can not drive their vehicle to work and appointments for my son with autism as well as my other 3 children. The burden is on BMW and NHTSA to remedy this issue. I will be contacting my local congress person to address this issue is well.
I just purchased a BMW X3 2007 the 2nd week of March 2022. Immediately, after driving home and parking the car. I turned the car off and the car began to make a loud noise and the engine start smoking very bad. I contacted BMW via email, and was told that there is not a remedy to the recalls effecting my car. The BMW X3 2007 is my only form of transportation and BMW cannot fix the problem. This car can catch on fire or worse kill me and children in the fire in the car. After research this is an ongoing problem with BMW. BMW should be liable for any damages caused my this recall. I have car that I cannot drive because it is not safe to drive, by no fault of my own.

I call the brooklynbmw dealer to schedule a recall repair on three items for my truck and I was told it would takes days for the repairs and I would have to get my own means of transportation during this time even after I stated I have an elderly mother whom lives with me and that I would need some type of transportation during that time and was told there was no loaner car to offer me and that I would have to pay $40 a day for a rental car.

I have 3 recalls on my vehicle. Two of them involve air bags and the the heat valve malfunction that could be very dangerous. I contacted BMW dealership and they mentioned they don't have any parts from BMW to fix two of them and have me on a waiting list for the third and will contact me, no time frame was given. I contact BMW north America and they direct me back to the dealership. So I'm driving a vehicle with 3 recalls and no time frame on when these will be fixed. I don't want anything happening while I'm in the vehicle since it is a 2007.

Takata recall. . . . Recall issued 2/5/2016 and BMW says not yet ready to replace. So for 17 months we have been driving a vehicle with airbags that are known to kill people, and we are unable to sell the vehicle. . . . . Absolutely unacceptable that it is taking so long to fix a known and deadly problem!.
Takata recall. Called to have an option for replacement as I received a letter that my vehicle was included in this recall. My closet BMW service center is over 200 miles away. When I called in to make arrangements to have a part sent to my city they told me I would have to pay for the shipment and the repair. My only option was to make arrangement and drive my car over 400 miles round trip for the repairs. There has to be a better option.
