Takata recall I received a letter dated july 2015 concerning the recall of the driver's side air bag. I called my local bmw on 11/24/15 and they said they put my name on the list and would call me when the replacement came in. I called again on 4/14/16 and [xxx] said she would check to make sure my name is on the list and would call me back when the parts arrived. It's been a year and a half and I have not received a call back. This is so concerning to me as this car is my main mode of transportation and I am so afraid I will have a front end collision resulting in death or dismemberment. If that should happen I or my estate will most certainly sue. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall. This complaint is due to the slow response of nalley bmw in decatur georgia to replace my airbag. I received my recall letter and immediately called the bmw dealer on sept 7th. I was told that parts were ordered and I would be called when they arrived. By sept 16th I had heard nothing and called again. Nalley said they had no record of my having ordered parts. I was transferred to the parts department where no one answered the phone. So I called bmw national customer relations. They said they would contact the dealer and have them get in touch with me directly. Nothing happened, so today visited the dealer personally to get the parts ordered. I was told it would take an additional two weeks to receive parts. This is unacceptible. My recall letter from bmw clearly states "we have the necessary parts to complete this recall," "please contact your authorized bmw center immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free recall performed as soon as possible," and "...metal fragments striking the driver or other passengers potentially resulting in serious injury or death." bmw has built cars with shrapnel grenades instead of airbags and now they don't care about fixing it. Bmw should not e allowed to sell another vehicle in the us until they have completed all of these critical recalls.

Takata recall - notified july 2015 - a year ago - about driver's side airbag, still no parts available and I live in one of the most humid states in the south. It is irresponsible and ridiculous that we have to wait over a year for part replacements that if ruptured, could cause serious injury or death. Bmw north america website states: remedy available but global imports atlanta is reporting they still do not have any replacement drivers side airbags.

Takata recall: in july, 2015 I received a letter from bmw (recall notice 15v‑318) stating that my driver side air bag should be replaced, but that there was no remedy available and I would be contacted when one is. I've had a couple of service appointments at my local dealership (perillo bmw in chicago) and each time asked if there was any update on resolution and each time I was either referred to bmw's corporate customer service or politely told that there was no update. I have also called the 1‑800‑525‑7417 bmw service center multiple times over the course of the last year, most recently today (7/1/16), and they have not been able to resolve the issue. At this point, I am frustrated by the lack of resolution and would appreciate any assistance helping me with this recall notice. Thank you.

In july 2015 I received a notice of recall campaign no. 15v‑381: driver side front air bag module. It said if deployed metal fragments could strike the driver or other passengers causing death or serious injury. It said I'd get a 2nd letter when the parts were available. I've never gotten the second letter, and when I called my dealer at the beginning of this month to schedule the repair they said that the parts were still not available! That's almost a year later. I'm afraid to drive the car but I have no choice!
