BMW has to fix this priority 3 recall, 2 are the front airbags,(inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other passengers, potentially resulting in serious injury or death) before some really bad can appen. 1 is the fuel tank leaks can cause fire another real bad option can appen. I have my BMW stalling last week was very bad, the car just stop on freeway with not control of the steerweel was very scary and also my and my family life was in danger. When I go to BMW (kelly BMW columbus) they ignore completly the recall and they start to charge me 145 for stulling when should be free and see the attachment for what they try to charge me. I will like to get this fix soon as possible before me or my family can risk life. Thank you.

9 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2010 BMW X5

Failure Date: 11/28/2016

I own a 2010 BMW X5 xdrive30i, on Monday, November 28, 2016 at 5:50am, while the vehicle was stationary, ignition off, key in the ignition, radio on and refueling at the gas station, I heard a chime coming from the cabin and noticed the message that stated "restrain system malfunction affecting the front passenger airbag" the message also stated that the malfunction would limit the inflator, tenssioner and another component which I do not recall now, to properly inflate the passenger side airbag. I made some inquiring on line and found that this is a common problem with different models of Bmws, as well as other brands. I contacted BMW USA and was told that there was a recall for the driver side airbag but nothing for the passenger side. My vehicle only has 85,000 miles, relatively new, for a BMW, and is facing this type of malfunction. I believe that an investigation should be launched by your agency and explore the possibility of issuing a recall to force BMW USA to take responsibility in this matter. These type of repairs are very pricey and should be covered by BMW, since its happening to so many models and around the same amount of miles.

10 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2010 BMW X5

Failure Date: 09/16/2016

Takata inflators/air bags - except for receiving a couple generic letters about the recall absolutely nothing seems to be happening to expediently resolve the issue. Seems like lawyers have done the paperwork to comply with recall but the process is in stall mode now and nothing is being done? it would be nice if there was some accountability to make some progress and the consumers are being informed and provided some actual proof this recall is going to be fixed within a reasonable timeframe. Given that most cars last 10 years typically before getting new one, how long is it reasonable to wait? I can tell you if BMW does not take action and responsibility to fix this recall soon . . . It will be my last BMW I purchase new or used. It just looks like a total lack of concern, lack of action, lack of accountability.

I am still waiting on this issue to be fixed. I cannot even get a fair trade in value on the vehicle while this recall remains open. I have been waiting nearly a year now. This is ridiculous.
