TAKATA RECALL - BMW DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY WILL FIX USED CARS THEY HAVE TRADED IN, AND BMW CORPORATE (VIA PHONE) TOLD ME NO BMW DEALER IS ALLOWED TO SELL A CAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL. YET, HERE I AM, GOING ON A YEAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL, AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT IT ISN'T A BIG DEAL, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. I ASKED, AND WAS DENIED A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE - "THEY USED TO DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING, BUT DON'T OFFER IT ANYMORE". BUT, THEY SEEM TO HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR CARS THAT WILL NET THEM PROFITS. I'M TIRED OF THIS.

"TAKATA RECALL" . EVEN RECALL STARTED BEGINNING OF 2016, I NEVER RECEIVED MY REPLACEMENT BAG(S).

I WAS GIVEN 3 DIFFERENT DEADLINES, ONE IN SUMMER 2016, SECOND IN OCTOBER 106 AND LAST ONE IN MARCH 2017. NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. MY REQUEST TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE LOANER TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY, I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT AN OPTION. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH UPCOMING SUMMER. CAN YOU HELP?
