I was made aware of a two open safety recalls for my car. I am told that the affected parts need to be replaced for the ensured safety of my vehicle. However, I was told that these repairs could only be done at an authorized bmw center. I currently live in missoula, mt and the nearest bmw center is 3 hours away in spokane, wa. Obviously, I cannot drive 3 hours each way and wait however many hours or days the repairs take to have them done at the bmw center I am told has to do them. The bmw customer relations department is not willing to offer any help in fixing this situation and getting these recall repairs done.

I bought my 2002 bmw 325i from san francisco bmw in 2003, so far I have received only one notice about the recall of the rear light. I was under warranty for a year, during that period they discovered a faulty idle air valve and they did not replace it trying to save money under warranty. I complained many times to them about the stalling of my car on the streets, it is very dangerous. I e-mailed to the manager who ignored my complaint. Fearful for my life and safety I dare not drive on the freeway. I called about the recall of the airbags, they said it did not apply to my car, I asked them to send me e-mail to confirm, they never did. They put my life at risk. Their business license should be suspended.
