So I got a paper saying I had a recall on my air bags so I called and got my car takin to bmw in bellevue. Bmw's road side assistants gave the wrong address to the tow company and would not answer the phone tow for them> I even attempted to call and was placed on hold for approximatyely 40 minutes to fix this problem. Finally I spoke with the tow companys dispatcher who was so frustrated he started accusing me of playing games and threatened to have my vehicle dropped at the wrong dealership then extorted me for another 80 dollars just to drop my car off his truck and leave it at my house. Hours later after finally getting a hod of roadside assistance the exact same company returned and delivered my vehicle to the right location. After all of this we are being jerked around by bellevue bmw on the recalls they asked me for 3 hours of labor and promised us to get the vehicle started after approximately a week they said my dme is bad an it would cost 8000.00 to fix it and said it wasn't worth fixing because it was old never mentioned anything about a recall until I finally brought it up the last time I spoke with bmw in bellevue which was monday the15th of march 2021. I was told the wire harness was repaired not replaced and the airbag recall was replaced. Then said my bill was over 600.00 > after doing my research thru theagency website I found out my recalls were not fixed and I took photos with the dates and time showing my recalls were not fixed which I feel upset and very worried and concerned for my safety now I am not sure where to go from hear because my family and I are being placed into a hardship and to make it worse we are in the middle of a pandemic please help us. I don't know if anything was done to the car I think we need to talk to an attorney

Bmw dealer replaced driver airbags, but no passenger airbags, stating parts were not yet available and vehicle would remain on the active recall list until passenger airbags were replaced; then they took the vehicle off the recall list. Now dealer states since the vehicle is no longer on recall list, the passenger airbag replacement is no longer required. And refuses to honor total recall, leaving passengers at risk of injury or death.

Dealer only replaced driver's side airbag, stating passenger airbag replacements not yet available. Then took my vehicle off the recall list, so now they claim that the vehicle is no longer under recall. I have two bmw's that have this recall and the passenger airbag replacements are outstanding with no prospect of replacement, leaving passengers at risk of injury or death.

Have not heard back from dealer for air bag recall. Car is also producing smoke in engine bay and strong smell of burning through vents is present. Receive notice of recall for blower motor wiring but the car is definitely well in need of recall service as smoke is very visible and burnin order is very apparent in engine bay and through vents.

Takata recall....still awaiting update/notice/repair/anything from bmw north america since I was initially notified in march 2016. It is now august 2017! I have a car that I am insuring, sitting unused in my driveway because it is a safety hazard. I can't sell it, or trade it in due to decreased value of airbag light on, and lack of repair. It is coming up for state inspection soon, and won't pass because airbag light is on. This is a very frustrating, unfair and worse, potentially dangerous or fatal situation. I find it inexcusable that it has been almost a year and a half since first notification, and a remedy has still not been made. Bmw needs to be held accountable to make necessary repairs in a more timely and reasonable manner. It is just unacceptable that this is taking so long. If repairs cannot be made, bmw should buy the vehicle back and compensate the owners for loss of use plus fair market value.
