NHTSA complaint #11019915, filed 2017-08, 10 miles“Heat not working on car. Concerned about fire before recall is fixed. Plus, I am freezing in winter weather conditions. I have been told by dealership Bmw has not released parts to fix. This is unacceptable.”
NHTSA complaint #11064406, filed 2018-01, 71,000 miles“Takata airbags Bmw has not sent a second letter since march on the repair of the recall. That is unacceptable considering honda gave their customers loaner vehicles until they are fixed. I called my local dealersip and they just basically said they cant do anything until I receive the second letter. I have a 3 year old and I fear for our safety daily. This is unacceptable the time frame when such a recall could potentially kill us. That was march. It is almost september.”
NHTSA complaint #10899543, filed 2016-08“Takata recall-I took my car in for the airbag recall and the Bmw of south atlanta repaired the driver seat-I think. When I left the passenger airbag off light was on and I asked about it the tech said if you have an accident you don't want to schrapnel to hit the passenger. From then on the seat belt sign stayed on even when someone was in the passenger seat with their seat belt on. I took my car back in last week for the warning light and was told it is a seat sensor and would cost $1,400.00. Does this have anything to do with the airbag recall? …”

I received noticed around march 2016, it is now december 2016, what is considered a timely remedy to this situation? 1 year? In other words, how long do I have to put my life at risk until this becomes remedied? I was involved in an accident previously that cause my car to be a total lost, should I consider myself lucky that the takata recall issue did not kill me? Just waiting for someone to tell me I can bring my car in is driving me nuts. The dealers don't give me any information on how I can get this fixed on my own. …”
