Bill pearce bmw (billpearcebmw.com/) in reno, nv has in no way resolved these recalls in a timely manner. I have made at least 10 calls over the last 17 months to their service/parts department to inquire on availability of replacement parts. The engine is not running at its optimal level and is potentially getting damaged as a result of the faulty fuel pump that is under recall. I am driving at my and my family's risk due to both airbags and fuel pump not meeting safety regulations and bmw is being negligent in treating these 3 recalls as a priority. I have also escalated the matter to bmw customer relations on 7/26/17 and am awaiting their response. There is no incident related to this complaint, but I strongly believe the vehicle is not safe to drive. I have indicated the date of the first communication received by bmw as well as uploaded a pdf version of their initial notification.
