PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT MAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR FAULT. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHENEVER A PASSENGER WOULD SIT ON THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON. AFTER SOME TIME PASSED THE LIGHT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. I NOTICED RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS. UPON RESEARCHING, IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT JUST ISN'T REPORTED. IT LEADS TO MANY JUST FIXING IT THEMSELVES, OR JUST BUYING BYPASSES TO AVOID FORKING OUT OVER $1200 TO GET IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR SITUATION, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

AIR BAGS

THE AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THEM BEING UNSAFE AND CONTAINING DANGEROUS MATERIAL THAT COULD SEND METAL SHARDS INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE BMW DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX THE AIRBAGS AND WE HAD TO JUST DRIVE IT REGARDLESS OF THE FACT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DO SO. BMW IS LIABLE FOR THE ISSUES IN THE VEHICLE BUT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. HENCE, I GET TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AROUND WITH NO SAFETY FEATURES BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN CALLING BMW FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RECALL SINCE MARCH OF 2016 YET EVERY TIME I CALL THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE AND IT SHOULD BE SOON. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE MARCH AND IT IS NOW ALMOST NOVEMBER. I AM JUST CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR KNOWING THAT MY AIRBAG MAY POTENTIALLY THROW METAL SHARP METAL IF I WAS TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I THINK ITS UNFAIR TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR NOT FEELING SAFE. I REALLY JUST WISH THEY CAN GET A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM WITHIN A TIMELY MATTER. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THE SAME THING SINCE MARCH AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL BE SOLVED ANY TIME SOON.

TAKATA INFLATORS ARE DEFECTIVE. I RECEIVED A LETTER SEVEN MONTHS AGO FROM BMW IN MARCH 2016 INFORMING ME OF A RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER NOTICE AS TO WIN THESE REPAIRS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. BMW SHOULD HAVE TO COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR THEIR FLAWED AND DANGEROUS DESIGN. AS THIS CAR IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE NO CHOICE THAN TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH SAFETY FEATURES THAT COULD ACTUALLY INCREASE MY RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WARRANTS FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FROM BMW. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

AFTER RECEIVING THE AIRBAG RECALL LETTER FROM BMW, I DECIDED TO CALL THE NEAR BY DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD I WILL BE CONTACT BY BMW ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. I ASKED FOR A TIMELINE WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT A NOTIFICATION/EMAIL ETC FROM BMW. HE SAID MOSTLY LIKELY BY THE END OF 2017 BECAUSE THERE SHORTAGE ON THE PARTS AND CONTINUE GO SAY OPERATE THE VEHICLE AS USUAL. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE HASN'T BE A SERIOUS INCIDENT WITH BMW VEHICLES INVOLVING THE AIRBAG. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2017 IF NOT LATER FOR HAVE THE DEADLY DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED. I AM BASICALLY TIME BOMB MACHINE UNTIL ONE OR TWO THINGS 1. FIXED BY 2017 OR 2. SERIOUS ACCIDENT? DOES ANYONE GOTTEN A DECENT RESPOND INQUIRING WITH YOUR BMW DEALERSHIP?
