Both puget sound area dealers were totally indifferent about life treating recall notices, upon calling in in mid 2017' I was asked what recalls are you calling about and both did not give any in formation when I said I heard there was a recall. Nothing we can do to help you now check back later I was told. In November when I called back I was again greeted with surprise that that there was a recall at seattle dealership and asked me to be specific on a exact recall that maybe in effect. After giving exacte required detailed recall info on this life treating defective recalli was told they don't have any parts and to check back next year! where the hell is the Washington state attorney general? this is a disgrace and BMW in my view should be spender from selling cars in Washington state until they make this right. One death would cost far more than all the jerking around and bad will they are causing today! I'm writing this because I'm concerned about living, and have no pictures to post. Can not allow how the government allows a major car company to get away with this, total disgrace!
Takata recall I recently got a notice for an airbag recall (recall #16V071). There was a notification on the recall that if "the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner to file an online complaint" with this website. I contacted the dealerships closest to me and both said they are backed up until the 2nd quarter of 2018. This is scary because these notices are saying that the airbag erupting could cause serious injury or death. I would like to get these replaced asap so I am not risking my safety or the safety of others in my car. Thank you!
Takata recall: Passenger side airbag defect. Message that comes on when engine first turned on and stationary, reads: "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting air bag, belt tension or belt force limiter. Continue to wear seat belt." However, this car not included in the recall when I check license number.
Takata airbag. I received my airbag recall notice in March 2016. Since then, I called my BMW dealer asking for installation of replacement. They said it wasn't available. I later visited the dealer on August 2, 2017. They, again, said the airbag wasn't available. I called BMW customer relations shortly thereafter. They said I should have the airbag by labor day. I did not receive any notice of my airbag being available by labor day. The NHTSA site says it's available. How do I get BMW to install it if they keep telling me it's unavailable?
I have the exact problem with my vehicle as described in existing recall number 17V605. I had this repaired for over $1168.16 my vehicle should absolutely be included in this recall.

Takata recall on the NHTSA.gov site my car shows recall incomplete in red. Per the safercar.gov sit, this means that my parts are available. The dealership said they do not have the parts. Is the information on the site incorrect that these would be ready? I am confused about the information as rpesented on the sites. I am most concerned due to the age of my car. I realize I am in zone B, but it is 10 years old. Thank you

2 complaints: 1st complaint addresses "takata recall" dated Feb. 5, 2016 recall campaign no.16V-071 driver's front air bag. Service center "otto's" in West chester, pa still has not received the parts going on 2yrs. * 2nd complaint engine shut off while driving (55mph) on a busy interstate highway during heavy traffic with no warning the engine just shut off- no power!. it was a humid summer (July) morning BMW fault could have killed many, a very dangerous public safety hazard. I was stranded for hours unable to drive BMW. *adding insult to injury the high humidity could have set-off the airbag fault unresolved by BMW 18 months & counting. Otto's service center wanted almost $4K to repair plus an additional hefty sum under advisement for repairs to repair the work they completed less than a year ago (>$3K) for engine leaking oil - car over-heating

The front passenger occupancy sensor in the seat mat has malfunctioned which produces a fault in the passive restraint system preventing the passenger side air bag from deploying in an event of an accident. This malfunction occurs when the vehicle is stationary, in motion, on a city street, on a highway, and when turning. There is no damage or excessive wear and tear to the passenger seat. The passenger seat was used normally and as intended by the manufacturer. I believe the seat mat was not designed to withstand normal usage of people sitting on it. Over time the sensor in the seat mat failed and poses a serious safety issue for the vehicle's front passenger since the air bag may not deploy during a collision.

Takata inflators your web site said on 2.5.2016 that my BMW 321 2007 was recalled by an airbag replacement. The dealer told me three month later that they had received no replacement airbags. Since then I've heard nothing from the dealer. Some months ago I called the NHTSA & your rep said they had no current information. My question: Are you following up the recall and requiring BMW to replace the airbags in the 2007 bmws. [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'
I've owned a 2000 and 2007 BMW 3 series and a 2010 X6 all with airbag recalls but I don't own any of these vehicles anymore. As a matter of fact I hit a curb and my drivers airbag broke my facial bones with just hitting a curb and was totaled out. Would I qualify for compensation through this large recall" and what info would I need"
