Takata recall bmw has stonewalled me! They say I can have a loaner. Wonderful, except it's not a bmw since all late model bmws have been recalled. I can't sell my car because no one would want it pending a recall that has not been addressed by bmw or takata. When I inquired about the recall loaner agreement, I was told I would need to sign an agreement for a 2-3 year rental and not drive my car except for a weekly startup and back and forth in the driveway to be sure the battery was good. I am now looking into a class action suit. I have several friends with more recent models subject to this recall and they are hopping mad and ready to go to court. It is completely unacceptable that neither company, bmw and takata, have owned up and shown what they will do about it. Instead, all we customers hear is "yes, it's a terrible situation, but there is nothing we can do but offer you the loaner." well, there is something we owners can do. We are a litigious bunch!!
Air bag light was on all the time. Possible loose contact pin tension for left side airbag circuit. Drivers seat airbag contacts on wiring harness side had to be replaced.
