I have been to the dealership several times since this recall and the problem is still not fixed. It's been over a year I've been on a waiting list and we are trying to sale the car and can't because of the recall! This is ridiculous. We need the parts ordered and dealt with it's been over a year .

Received letter for recall of driver's side airbag inflator could rupture sending metal fragments causing serious injury or death. Letter dated march 2016. I called twice and parts on back order. Why so long and why should I continue to make monthly payments on a potentially deadly vehicle ??
Safety recall notice was sent first class march 2016. My daughter has called two times and is being told the part is not in and maybe october or november. Since then, she was rear ended as she was in motion on a city street on sunday, 9/25/16 and suffered severe neck, shoulder, arm and hip injuries. Her air bag did not deploy which may have protected her from some or all injuries. Why is she not being updated and why is it taking so long for this driver's airbag to be received and replaced? Information provided below is an estimate and only contains to our car. Going approximately 18 MPH and miles approximately 42000 miles, but cannot verify at this time because aaa has it. The girl who hit my daughter drove a bmw as well and her air bag deployed.

Saw issue with 2006 3 series regarding passenger airbag light reading wrong. Mine seatbelt chimes go off even if I just put an electronic tablet in the seat. Other day adult son in car, passenger airbag light showing it's off yet he was sitting in seat and strapped in. 2 days later after I dropped him off, system started chiming again, had to put seatbelt in latch even though no one in seat for it to turn off the noise.
While pulling into a parking at low speed vehicle accelerated violently causing it to crash over the curb and airbags deployed. Minutes before this crash I noticed several instances where the vehicle seemed to accelerate and RPM rised on its own while I was not pressing the accelerator. The drivers side door airbag seems to have malfunctioned and did not deploy.
I was following my husband home from working around 5pm on july 28th and as he preceded to turn left, I observed traffic and saw it was safe to follow through as well. As I was turning another gentleman came through the light going approximately 45-50mph and we had a collision. My damage to my vehicle was in the front and the car was therefore totaled. At the time of the accident my airbags did not deploy and I proceeded to hit my forehead on the steering wheel. His airbags did deploy and he was in a 2013 328i and I was in a 2011 328i. I would like to see if this has happened before or why mine did not deploy...updated 10/06/14 *bf updated 3/25/2015*js..*tr...updated 12/09/15 *bf . Updated 05/17/2017
My daughter was traveling on I-95 south in st augustine fl , when several cars came to a sudden stop. My daughter was unable to stop and hit a SUV, she was applying her brakes . The air bag did not deploy. My daughter was injured in the accident, I think something is wrong because the air bag did not deploy and felt the need to report it.

2011 bmw 328i. Consumer writes in regards to air bag malfunction. *smd the consumer stated after the vehicle was purchased, she noticed when driving at a speed of 10 MPH or lower, applying the brake, or pulling into a parking space, the vehicle would surge forward unexpectedly. The consumer experienced the same surging for a second time, as she pulled into a parking space. The vehicle went over a curb and into some bushes. As a result, she received whip-lash to her neck and slightly bruised her elbows, knees and hurt her chest on the steering wheel. Bmw sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle and concluded nothing was wrong with the vehicle. After picking up the vehicle a week later, the consumer and her husband continued to experience the same issue. A month later, the consumers husband pulled into a parking space when the vehicle unexpectedly surged forward and hit a parked SUV in front of him, which caused damage to the front bumper. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, where they kept it for two weeks. The dealer stated the vehicle was fine and it was ready for pick-up. However, two days later, the vehicle surged again, as the consumer was approaching a stop light. *jb the consumer stated the vehicle has been inspected three times, without any success of finding the problem. The mechanism/gear would shift when driving at a low speed or riding the brake at a low speed when coming to a stop. Also, the vehicle sagged on the right side, which has been acknowledged by the mechanics, but it cannot be fixed. Updated 05/13/14. *jb updated 06/10/14
