BMW of North America has failed to notify about two air bag recalls, one for the passenger side and one for the driver side, affecting my car, even though they have verified that they have my correct address.

I got a recall letter on July 2015 of my drivers side airbag being defective. I already had to have the passenger side replaced because of recall. It took 7 months to get it replaced. I'm totally scared and anxious to drive my car. I saw someone get burned from an airbag recently and am super super scared to drive my car. Ive called a couple times and they say they do not have the part in stock. Can't anything be done?

I have received two separate recalls for airbag replacements on my car. The first was the passenger airbag and that recall was received in 2014. It took several months before I was able to have my front passenger airbag replaced. In July this year I have received a recall saying that I now need to replace the driver side airbag which describes the same risk: "...resulting in metal fragments striking the front driver or other passengers potentially resulting in serious injury or death." If BMW has created a car that could potentially result in my injury or death, should it not be reasonable for the problem to be fixed immediately? should it not be reasonable that I am given a loaner BMW at their expense (including insurance) while they fix this potentially life threatening problem with my car" why two separate recalls? why did they not fix both airbags at the same time? why does it take months to address this problem? how many potentially preventable serious injuries or deaths have occurred as a result"

His response has been to hang up on me or not respond at all. This is a serious problem, as they have agnoliged ( copy available).

Hello, I received a passenger air bag recall notice back in September 2014 for my BMW 325 ci year 2003 and have tried to schedule a service call with two BMW dealerships in NJ (bloomfield and jmk in springfield) since this date. Both dealerships keep telling me there is a back order on the parts and state that they have placed my name on a waiting list. Every time I call them (it is April 2015 now) I get the same story and it is very frustrating. I am afraid to let anyone sit in the passenger side of my vehicle and feel that this is a very unreasonable period of time to have someone wait for such a dangerous safety issue. I kindly request your assistance in getting my vehicle's air bag replaced. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Almost 6 months ago, I was notified by BMW about a recall because of air bag(s) and was advised that I would be called shortly for repair/ replacement. Contacted BMW numerous times by phone and mail and every time was advised that parts should be in shortly. If they cannot find the parts for so long, there should be some alternate. Knowing a safety issue and not correcting it and letting the driver(s) on a chance for a tragedy should not be acceptable.
