Takata recall.... I am driving in an unsafe vehicle due to drivers airbag recall and no parts are available to fix the problem. This is not a good feeling. I worry each time I get in my car and drive. The local dealership said no parts and no loaner vehicles. So I drive and worry. Someone pulled out in front of me on 4-22-16 and I barely missed their car and thought how awful this could have turned out, if I had hit them, T-boning them, my airbag would have opened and injured me and/or killed me. I get home and called the dealership because I never heard from them since last July's first recall when they told me I would get a notification when parts where available. Still no parts, I don't want to drive my car. I am a victim of "worry".the dealership service rep. Was not very concerned nor helpful. She must be not driving a car with a "driver's side airbag that is defective" and unsafe.

Takata inflators VIN [xxx] 2003 BMW 325I kata inflators, hello, I'm [xxx] and I am very disappointed with BMW and its safety, I have been calling for my safety recall on the drivers side air bag on my BMW 325I 2003 since December of 2015, I was informed that the parts would be ready by spring, I have called several times and they change the date until the end of summer not giving a specific date, or hang up on my call. I think that if the vehicle has a recall it shouldn't be driven knowing that I'm risking my life or others lives. BMW has been rejecting the repair since early December. If then when will they repair " and when will they provide me a transportation in the meanwhile" information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Purchase a 2003 BMW 325I on 11-18-2016. Unable to take possession of the vehicle from the dealer due to the outstanding takata airbag recall. The dealer is not a BMW store and I don't blame them for letting a customer get into a unsafe vehicle. BMW is dragging their feet on the repair of these defective airbags.

Takata recall? we received notice of a recall for an airbag problem in July 2015. We contacted our dealer coast BMW Nissan at 12100 los osos valley rd. San luis obispo ca, 93401 (tel. 805 543-4423) several times and were told they were waiting for parts and would call us when they were available. We have never heard from them and believe they are neglecting their obligation in this matter. We fear our safety is at risk.

I have been on hold since the fall of 2014 on a driver side airbag. The dealer has no inventory and no eta. This is unacceptable. Dodge changed my airbag (also takata) within 10 days of my recall notice. It's been over a year and a half with BMW. Penalize them like you did fca
Takata recall - 15V318 it has been just over 7 months since I received the recall notice from BMW for the drivers-side airbag recall. I have been on a waiting list since it came out, but there are still no available parts. There also is no interim remedy. At this point, I feel the vehicle is undrivable due to the possibility of metal fragments coming through the driver's airbag. This has caused a lot of issues with my household, and is causing un-due wear on my other vehicle, as well as costing much more money for things like fuel and maintenance. I am having to drive hundreds of extra miles every week, along with having to jump through numerous scheduling hoops. I asked about any kind of a loaner/rental car provided via BMW, and I was told no, there is no such thing. After 7 months, there needs to be some kind of resolution, even if it is a temporary one (are there temporary airbags of some sort" something that makes the car safe again, at least until the permanent parts come in"). even with all of the issues, I still feel I am one of the "lucky few" with this recall that has a second vehicle. I can not imagine how things would work out if the only car I had could send shrapnel at me in the even of an accident. Something needs to happen. Even if it's temporary. 7 months of no progress is far too long, even in a recall of this scale.
I am concerned I got a letter about the recall in July and it is now January and I am driving an unsafe car. I am afraid to drive it. Why has it taken more than 6 months to fix it. Nothing has happened but there is nothing I can do about it.
