RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A BLOWER MOTOR WIRING ISSUE (17V-676) AND AN EXTENSION IN LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. BMW NORTH AMERICA SAID THEY COULD NOT SEE THE VEHICLE IN THERE SYSTEM AND COULD NOT INITIATE REPAIRS UNTIL IT WAS.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED MAILED CORRESPONDENCE FROM TK HOLDING REGARDING DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS FOR MY 2007 328XI. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO COMPLETE THE CLAIM FORMS MAILED TO MAIL WHICH I DID. SUBSEQUENTLY MY CLAIM WAS DENIED AND TO DATE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE OR OFFERED FOR THE AFFECTED TAKAKA PARTS INSIDE MY VEHICLE. AS IT MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE FAULTY PARTS. I AWAIT RECALL FOR THE TAKAKA INFLATOR RECALL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BMW OF MT. LAUREL TO FIX IT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE NOT FIXING TAKATA INFLATOR RECALLS AT THAT TIME.

TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEMS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VECHICLE. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE THIRD PARTY DEALERSHIP, 'CHASE AUTOPLEX' HE RESETTED THE SETTINGS EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT AFTER GETTING HOME, THE NEXT DAY MY CAR SHOWED AIRBAG PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED HIM, HE SAID HE CAN'T HELP ME OUT WITH IT. SO MY QUESTION IS THAT, IF YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME GET A RECALL ON THIS AIRBAG, SO I DON'T HAVE TO SPENT MONEY ON IT MYSELF, I WILL APPRECIATE IT. THANKS

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
TAKATA RECALL-I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE BMW OF SOUTH ATLANTA REPAIRED THE DRIVER SEAT-I THINK. WHEN I LEFT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON AND I ASKED ABOUT IT THE TECH SAID IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT YOU DON'T WANT TO SCHRAPNEL TO HIT THE PASSENGER. FROM THEN ON THE SEAT BELT SIGN STAYED ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH THEIR SEAT BELT ON. I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN LAST WEEK FOR THE WARNING LIGHT AND WAS TOLD IT IS A SEAT SENSOR AND WOULD COST $1,400.00. DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL? IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS A FAULTY PART WITH BMW THEN WHY AREN'T THEY RECALLING AND REPAIRING?

WHEN MY CAR 'S FRONT TIRES TOUCH ONE SIDE OF THE PAVEMENT ( THERE ARE 2 PAVEMENTS SEPARATED APART ABOUT 3 FEET WITH SOIL WHERE ARE PLANTED WITH FLOWERS, EACH PAVEMENT IS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 FOOT THICK AND 1/2 FOOT HIGH ). WHILE I STEPPED ON MY CAR'S BREAK PEDAL, I FELT THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL AND IT JUMPED ON MY SIDE'S PAVEMENT, AND ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME, BOTH AIR BAGS BURST, MADE THE CAR RAN OVER TO ALMOST A HALF OF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 PAVEMENTS ( ABOUT MORE THAN 2 FEET ) AND HITTING THE REAR OF ANOTHER PARKING CAR ( ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF MY CAR'S PARKING SPACE ( LOT ). THEREFORE : 2 REASONS, THE BREAKING SYSTEM DIDN'T FUNCTION WELL AT FIRST, WHEN THE CAR JUMPED TO THE PAVEMENT, THE AIR BAGS SUDDENLY BURST, MADE THE CAR MADLY JUMP OVER TO ANOTHER SIDE OF PARKING SPACE ( OPPOSITE SIDE ) AND MADE THE ACCIDENT SERIOUS ( 1 CAR'S REAR ALMOST WAS CRASHED, ANOTHER CAR'S REAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PARKING SPACE WAS TOUCHED BY THIS CAR' S HEAD ALMOST NO EVIDENCE ). FINALLY, MY CAR STOPPED, CAN'T MOVE ANYMORE !
