2005 BMW 325XI airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
It took over a year to get parts for the passenger side air bag, just got the car back and received notice of a recall of the drivers side air bag and no date for repair, I can not sell the car or trade it in because of the defect. Bmw refuses to provide compensation. I have been given the run around by the manufacturer regarding a loaner car or a replacement. I want bmw to purchase the vehicle immediately so I can obtain a safe vehicle to drive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 bmw 325xi. The contact stated that the dealer confirmed that the driver side air bag was the same exact air bag used in the recall under the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v428000 (air bags) could possibly have occurred with the drivers side air bag, which was inadvertent deployment. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact did not experience a failure.
I am writing you to tell you that I have a vehicle affected by the air bag recall - twice I have scheduled for replacement, twice the dealership has called me on the morning of the appointment to say the parts are not in stock. They are not apologetic, nor concerned for the urgency of this situation. I travel a very difficult route into the city - during rush hour - and have asked them to at least disconnect the bag for the passenger side. They refuse to do so. This evening the news reported that even drivers side airbags are being recalled. Why is this taking so long? Do deaths and injuries have to top the hundred mark for car manufacturers and their representatives to get into high gear over this? The occasional news report just isn;t doing it -car dealers and manufacturers are responding in a very slow and seemingly unconcerned fashion. At least my bmw dealer is. Some help would be deeply appreciated.

My wife parked the car in the doctors office parking lot. It was 58 degrees and raining. She left our family pet in the car. When she came out of the doctors office she saw that the car was full of smoke. The key fob would not open the locks. The doors would not open. The glass in the windows would not break under her strength even with a glass hammer that someone managed to retrieve for her. She finally remembered the key and was able to open the drivers side door. Our dog was lifeless, fire and rescue tried to revive her to no avail. The fire apparently started some where around the headlight switch or behind the vent where the cables for the door panel airbag pass. It caused the door airbag and the steering wheel airbag to deploy. The fire reached the roof panel before apparently self extinguishing due to lack of oxygen. I arrived about an hour later. Although the loss of my dog is a tragedy the really horrible part is finding that I could not open the passenger doors. The key fob will not open the locks. I climbed across the drivers seat and could not open the passenger side door from the inside. I reached back and could not open the drivers side rear door from the inside either. Is it possible that there is a defect in which passengers can not extract themselves from a burning automobile? With all of the safety features of modern automobiles was egress overlooked? I certainly hope that the federal safety agency looks into this and ensures that it isn't children that are trapped in the future.
