Takata recall
Takata recalls
My vehicle was on a city street, I hit a pot hole on the drivers side and the passenger side aorbag deflated.
Takata recall driving around 25 MPH car hit a pothole going straight on a city street. Side passenger airbag deployed hitting my cousin just as described in this recall 02v223000. The car is also affected by the takata inflators airbag recall which thankfully didn't deploy at the time of hitting the pothole. Bmw does not want to take responsibility for the deployed air bags because, according to them, the car's VIN number was not affected by side air bag deployment, even though year and model matches the effected vehicle. They are, however, willing to repair the takata airbag.
Ran over a curb going about 15 MPH, passenger side airbag deployed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 bmw 323i. When the contact started the vehicle, the air bag light illuminated.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 29,920.
There is an airbag recall and its nearly a year where bmw is saying they are waiting on parts. I think that is ridiculous. I couldn't tell them I am waiting on money to pay them. There is no actual incident. This is just a complaint. Thanks.
I received a vehicle recall from bmw in september 2014 for my driver side airbag. My vehicle was purchased from momentum bmw of houston ( 713-5963400). I heard nothing further and in nov 2014 called momentum bmw. I was told they knew nothing of the recall but they took my name, VIN and data. On december 12th I stopped by their dealership and went to the service department. I was now told that no parts were available for my repair because I had not come in to have them ordered. So I went through this process - providing once again, address, VIN contact information etc. I was told I would be notified when I could come in and have the airbag replaced. Now on march 6th I have still not been contacted and after 4 telephone call attempts have been unable to talk to anyone in their service department. I left a voice message for their service manager to contact me. So in short, 6 months after being notified by bmw (in writing) that my car needs a passenger side air bag replacement the responsible bmw service department has never contacted me. I am sending in this notification as instructed on my written letter - "if your bmw center is unable to remedy the defect without charge or within a reasonable period of time, notify the administrator, the federal safety agency.

Air bags deployed while vehicle was in motion. Recall for vehicle airbags in effect, however my situation was found to be unrelated to the recall. I advise the recall be re-investigated to include spontaneous air bag deployment.

(1) I was driving my 2000 bmw 323i on a feeder road, at about 40 MPH. The car has approximately 69,000 miles. (2) the side airbags (driver's side) unexpectedly deployed with no apparent reason (no collision, no road bumps). The engine automatically cut off and emergency lights automatically went on. I was able to restart the car, drive it home, and avoid being hit by other cars. (3) I checked the federal safety agency website and apparently there had been a recall in 2002 on 2000 bmw 323i for this very reason. However, I never received a recall notice from the maker despite the fact that I have always religiously taken the car to bmw dealers for oil change and repairs, and despite bmw has my address since it regularly mails advertisements to my residence. The next day I took the car at the local bmw dealer for repairs and asked about the recall. They told me that based on the VIN, my car was not among those involved in the 2002 recall. They also told me that they were unsure as to weather bmw would own the defect and pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty. Thus, I got my insurance involved to get a second opinion on the problem. I am still waiting on a solution of this issue.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 MPH on dry even roads, the left side curtain air bag and the small elbow air bag deployed without warning.

There was a police report taken, and the vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer stated that the deployment of the air bag was due to the vehicle possibly hitting a pothole in the road. The manufacturer was also notified, who denied that there were any problems with the year, make, and model of the vehicle. There was a the federal safety agency recall # 02v223000, which pertains to the side air bags. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
