I'm submitting this complaint per instructions on letter I received related to safety recall on BMW driver side airbags. On August 15th 2017 I was given a four week lead time for the airbag repair to be completed on my BMW related to recall #16V071 by my local BMW dealership (nalley BMW of South atlanta) thereafter I called BMW usa and they were of little to no help to speed this up. Because of the risk of death / serious injury associated with this recall my car remains out of use since August 14th 2017. Four weeks waiting for a critical safety repair is beyond a reasonable period of time!! I demand either my repair is carried out immediately or replacement vehicle until it is.
Passenger seat occupancy mat sensor broken. Problem started, 5 years ago. This seems to be a well documented problem affecting many different BMW models/years. BMW will not take responsibility for the situation. Please help.
