Per my letter from bmw, I am to notify the federal safety agency that bmw is unable to remedy the airbag recall situation within a reasonable amount of time. I received the recall letter in july 2015 and called bmw today 11-16-15 to find out that they have no idea when they will receive parts to replace the defective airbag.
Bmw recalled this car for the airbag many moths ago. Bmw advised us the air bag replacement parts would be available by the end of december 2014. I have contacted bmw and they advised me they have no dates when they would be available. My local dealer states I am on a list and 40 people are in front of me and it can take in excess of three months to schedule the repair if they get the parts. Bmw has been unresponsive and can not provide any information other than the parts are on back order.
Received front airbag recall notice in mid-september 2014 and was told I would be contacted about replacement. It has now been 4 months since notice and the car still has not been fixed and I have been without use of car for 4 months. This is unacceptable!
After 4 weeks of receiving recall notice and many calls to bmw north america they tell me there are no parts available and they don't know when they might be available. They also told me this is a "voluntary recall" and implied that they are in no hurry to satisfy customers! They have also warned me several times not to drive with a passenger in the front seat!
I was driving northbound on sepulveda blvd in los angeles on july 29th,2013 around 10:00 pm with my brother, suddenly the passenger side airbag deployed for no reason and bruised my brother's right arm my car stopped operating and we called payless tow to tow my vehicle to rusnak bmw in westlake village were I purchased the vehicle from. I talked to the service dept in regards to my car airbag incident, they told me that the warranty was expired and I have to pay out of pocket. I contacted my insurance company state farm to see if they provide coverage, they told since this was vehicle malfunction this was not covered under my policy. I strongly believe that this should be handled by bmw corporation. They have to repair my vehicle and pay for my brother injury. Please feel free to contact me at any time should you have any further question I appreciate your assistance in this regard thank you, sincerely ms.shahrzad babaeian
