“I purchased my car with the confidence that I was purchasing a superior product to my disappointment when I went to sale this vehicle I was given less for the sale of my car due to this recall I could not get the airbag replaced so I was given less for my car due to this recall my damages are $3000.00 I would like this difference refunded back to me. This is not my fault this is solely the fault of the inferior product I have not contacted an attorney as of yet but if I am not made whole then I will have no other choice but to contact an attorney due to my loss. …”
NHTSA complaint #10945233, filed 2017-01, 52,000 miles“Takata recall-recall campaign no. 16v-071: driver's front air bag module I was recently sold a vehicle that has this recalled part and was not made aware of the recall until the day I went to pick up my vehicle. I was then told I couldnt take the car home and also I was not provided a loaner vehicle which by what I read on the Bmw USA website should have been made available to me. Also after doing research I found out that this vehicle should not even have been made available for sale.”
