Example complaints

“Nhtsa does not recognize the recalls on my 2004 Bmw 325XI 4dr sedan. There were 2 recalls that are related to air bags. The NHTSA campaign numbers are #15v318000 and #14v428000. I would like to receive official confirmation that these recalls are valid so I can get the manufacturer to fix this. Please see the supporting docs attached. Also, I have been having weird electrical issues happening to the point the car wont shut off at times, headlights go out after a day, turn signal goes out, car dies, stereo wont work etc. I was wondering if other recalls were placed on this car as well?”
