Takata recall.......no remedy yet, I have been waiting now close to 2 years. After speaking with 3 different dealers in my area, I'm told they have no idea when either recall will be fixed because the manufacturer has no parts.....gas smell in vehicle when driving , fuel pump recall, however, no timetable for fixing.

I purchased car 2011-sole owner dealer state replaces engine pulley bolt 2012? Driving in dark and rain in mountains nc 1/24/17. All of a sudden lost ability to steer without a lot of force. Then got dash errors "charging malfunction", "engine overheating" transmission failure "no ABS" "drive cautiously ""turn off engine". I could not turn steering wheel hard enough to get off road. Pulled barely to side and turned engine off. Completely stranded and scared to death. Same broken bolt to be replaced. This is lethal situation and I am stuck with a killer car. Cannot afford to dump it. This car has required towing several times for engine failure that was "repaired". But I don't know what was done. In prior separate incident I was driving along engine light came on car sputtered and stopped-required towing. And takata recall also still waiting for airbags shoot shards. Bmw will not replace. They think it is not hot in nc. I call 104 degrees hot.
Takata airbags recall - unknown status to repair.
Takata recall its been almost 2 years since I've received a recall notice to replace faulty airbag components which affects the vehicle. Each time I bring the vehicle in for service, the dealer simply say there is nothing they can do right now because they don't have the necessary parts to recall the airbags. I am completely frustrated especially knowing this could cause big harm in an event of a crash. I try to not drive my vehicle as much as I can until the recall is completed, however living with family members it is simply impractical to not use the car until the recall has been performed. It is already 2017, and I received the notice early 2015.

I am hearing a buzzing sound from the center of my steering wheel when I park my x5 and the sound seems to continue after I shut down the engine. My x5 has an airbag recall outstanding for almost a full year, but my dealer has offered neither replacement nor any explanation for the delay. The buzzing sound is new, and is intermittent in nature. My family is afraid to be in the car.
Takata recall - I received the first recall letter 11 months ago for the driver side airbag and the 2nd recall for the passenger side in may of 2016. I am still being told there is no resolution as of yet.this problem has gone on way to long and my safety is at risk. I am unable to sell the car due to this open recall and need resolution asap.

Takata recall this defective item remains unfixed. My family is subject to "serious injury or death" because there is not significant pressure for the issue to be resolved. Calls to bmw have not helped, they remain content to say that the parts are not available. The offer no help, such as honda may be doing. Takata appears to be under no pressure to resolve. It appears they have no trouble making airbags for new cars but not for this recall. Please increase the pressure, impose fines, etc, to get their attention.

I received notice of the driver's side airbag recall in march of 2016, and just learned that the passenger's side airbag was recalled in may of 2016. All efforts to learn status of parts availability have gone unrespondeded to. I bought this car as a result of the representations which were made to me by bmw and their agents regarding the car's safety and reliability. Knowing that there is not a date in sight to perform the repairs necessary to correct this unreasonably dangerous condition, I have attempted to trade my vehicle in and purchase a replacement vehicle. Two dealers have informed me that they cannot accept the trade-in because of the recalls. This is totally unacceptable. I am stuck with a vehicle which has been deemed to be unreasonably dangerous for the foreseeable future. The economic consequences of this defect should fall on the manufacturer and not the consumer.

I was recently in an accident. I rear ended someone and the air bag did not deploy until after the accident occurred. I have chest and rib pain. Even deployed the air bag was not fully inflated.
