Takata recall. BMW sent recall notice for airbag before expiration date. I called BMW and they gave me a expiration date to take car to dealership to have repaired. I took the car to a new sewell BMW dealership in grapevine TX, USA before the expire date given by BMW. They asked if the airbag light was displayed. I replied it was reset years before and hasn't been displayed since. Sewell said they would not look at replacing airbag without paying for diagnostic and airbag up front. I know it hasn't been replaced, but had to decline for upfront costs with unknown reimbursement. Sewell pulled up the VIN details on my car. No airbag replacement. I'm sure the replacement date has expired by a year. . . But I tried. Just got a big �not interested� by the BMW dealership in grapevine, TX. (p. S. Was reminded by the morgan freeman takata airbag commercial on a&e tv channel airing 8/9/19).

The indicator for "passenger seat airbag deactivated" light came on and the "airbag system malfunction" warning lamp on the dash came on and remained on. This occurred on the first start of the day after having driven it several days before with no issues. I did not, and had never turned the passenger airbags off. I suspect this is due to a failed sensor in the passenger seat, similar to what initiated the recent recall for other models. I contacted BMW customer relations and was told that the extended warranty for this very issue that is applicable to other BMW models outside the recall is not applicable to my car. I now have what I suspect is a known serious safety defect from the factory that I must resolve on my own.

Takata air bag light stays on and makes a ticking noise.

Purchase the listed vehicle in pompano beach, FL which is over 250 miles from our home. Test drove and everything appeared to be working in a normal manner. About 50 miles from home, the passenger air bag light came on located on the console, as well as on the dash. The dealer where the purchase was made would not do anything about it unless we brought the vehicle back to them or one of their other facilities, the nearest one over 100 miles away. We were told that the air bags would still deploy properly evenb with the air bag light being on. On 06/18/14, I went online to see how the air bag seat sensor could be replaced. Lo and behold, I found a letter from NHTSA stating that the seat sensors could crack and affect the proper air bag deployment in case of an accident. My vehicle year and model was listed as an affected model. We visited the BMW dealership in ocala, FL today and showed the NHTSA letter to the service advisor and he stated he had no historhy of a recall. BMW wants to use the VIN # as a detrmining factor. Although the NHTSA letter does not say a word about VIN's, but rather, just year, make and model. It also clearly indicates that all seat sensors could crack affecting the safety of the air bag deployment in case of an accident, this indicates to me that this could happen, not that it has happened. BMW does not want to do a thing about it unless I pay them $159. 95 for a dianostic test and I consider this as being taken advantage of as a result of being a 79 year old senior citizen. Can you help me with my dillema? for the record, the vehicle was offered for sale by Lexus of clearwater on 02/06/14. Assuming it did not sell with this dealer, then mercedes of pompano aquired the vehicle and offered it for sale on 03/06/14. I made the purchase on 04/02/14. All of these dates are closely related to the middle of this recall taking place.

First the check engine light on, I went to houston momentum BMW dealer to check and they found out that there was a faulty signal from somewhere they were not sure about. They gave me an estimate for than a thousand dollars to find it and repair it. It would cost more if they found out the real problem.

This complaint involves the steering of the 2003 BMW Z4(built 03/03). It seems in hot weather (high 80's and above) the steering becomes very stiff and difficult to make minor adjustments. It feels like it locks in place and when adjustments are attempted to correct the steering, you actually over adjust because it sticks and you have a difficult time remaining in your lane. This occurs when the temperature is 80's or above, and becomes stiffer the hotter the temperature becomes. We contacted BMW and they informed us that there was nothing they could do for us. We feel that this is definitely a safety problem that should be addressed by BMW, as well as repaired for free by them. Another problem that we have encountered is the airbag lights (both in the dash and on the console) were on. We found recalls for 2004-2005 BMW's for this problem, but they would not address our vehicle since it is a 2003, and not covered in the recall. It is the exact same problem that the recall was for which was the passenger sensor mat part #66-77-6-927-893 and the control unit airbag part #65-77-6-965-146. We had to pay out of pocket for the diagnostic, repairs and parts, totaling $1226. 20. Again we felt that this was a safety issue since we purchased this car because it had side,front and knee airbags for safety. With the airbag lights on, we didn't know if they would or would not work in an accident. We requested the old parts be returned to us, but they were not. After doing much research on the internet, both of these items seem to be very common problems with these vehicles and we feel that BMW should address them both and make the vehicles safe to drive.
