“Takata recall. Rec'd recall notice in 3/2016, talked w/dealer shortly after and they said they didn't have the parts, then again 6/29/2016 still no parts, had service done in early 2017 and asked again, was told they expect shipment in next couple months-- likely takata but not sure . Called 6/29/2017 expect parts end of summer; Bmw will send letter & then I to call for service. Last called dealer 8/23/2017 and still no parts and no estimate of when they might get them, told me to wait for letter from Bmw. I think of this potential hazard every time I drive. …”

“Due to hot weather condition (>85f), if the car parks outside more than 4 hours, then go to vehicle to start vehicle, both seat belt light and passenger airbag off light are on even during driving. But, after parking vehicle overnight or weather below 70f, there is no issue at all. It seems like the sensors to sensitive the hot temperature. It is safety critical issue and had to find out in dealer. Bmw said to me it is out of warranty. This is sensor specification issue which is not handle high temperature. Bmw should be responsible!”
