Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I am notifying the NHTSA that Bmw has advised me that my car's passenger airbag needs to be recalled and replaced under the 14v-428 recall campaign. However, they are unable to perform this repair, they estimate, for months. I am thus forced to rent a car for long road trips, such as for thanksgiving and christmas, because my family member refuses to ride in the car. I have pressed Bmw to provide a repair or a loaner or re-imburse for a rental, and they refused on all three options.”
