Takata recall my 528i bmw in stop and go traffic has a very hard jerk when slowing down feeling as if im beeeing hit from behind I noticed it when I first got my car it would do it intermidetly. This is very dangerous it also has a throttle response delay which is also dangerous when going into traffic. A recall is needed for this fix it seems to be a software issue to me because when turning off the car and restarting it hours later the problem stops but comes back weeks later. I have seen many complaints dating back to 2011 of this problem where is the recall?
