Hi, my name is [XXX] and the owner of the 2001 BMW mentioned with the VIN number above. My airbag deployed for no reason as I was driving with my mother in the car on Tuesday the 26th of November around 5:30 p.m.., the airbag deployed for no reason at all I was doing the speed limit, driving with the flow of traffic on Paramount Boulevard in the city of Paramount or borderline Downey I'm not sure in California. There was no accidents all the car did not hit any other cars or anything while this incident occurred. I me and my mom really lucky to be alive. Although the injuries from the incident was in catastrophe however we do have a lot of small injuries and side effects that seems to be developing more as time goes by. The seriousness of this incident is at a very high level as it could have caused it for both of us or one of us. I was in shock Mordor though I just dropped the car when it exploded I'm referring to the airbag I was driving and suddenly I feel something should pass my left side touching my ear and my shoulder and exploited almost in my face on my left side. I thought a bomb exploded or someone tried to shoot at my car I did not know what happened until I got my thoughts together and I just asked your mom if she was okay glasses had fell off and she was in a very bad shock more my mother is 74 years old and he did not have to go through this traumatic experience. It was very traumatic for both of us and it took a while for us both to realize and figure out what happened. All we knew there was a big explosion and something on my left side was there that I have never seen before. Keeping in mind that I have never been in this airbag situation before it really was confusing and I had no idea what it was in the beginning or we could smell was strong gas I believe it is nitrogen that deploys from the airbag and there was debris every way. There is a lot of injuries and side effects caused by this & I need help. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I bought a used 2001 BMW 330ci 2dr coupe on the date of May 5th 2017. I had this vehicle for a very short amount of time approximately 7 weeks time. The takata air bag was present in this model, on top of that the well known overheating issue came my way. My model would overheat at the point where the auxiliary electrical fan would not kick in to avoid overheating. Electrical stability was at lost due to these present issues. Oddly enough the fan would actually run in reverse polarity pushing air out of the engine when it should be pulling the air in. While driving on a city street my car overheated causing me to break down, a thermostat issue could be present all of this occurred in motion.

Takata recall this is a follow-up to the complaint I submitted earlier today, # 11021353. I bought my BMW from the sharpest rides car dealership of englewood, Colorado. The date of sale was April 10, 2015. But it was not until I read the flyers the NHTSA sent to my post office box in 2017 that I knew anything about any takata airbag recall. The NHTSA website clearly shows that there have been two manufacturer recalls on my BMW. The first recall was July 15, 2014, well before I bought my BMW from the sharpest rides on April 10, 2015. While negotitating the purchase of my BMW, I had numerous telephone conversations, and exchanged myriad emails, with sharpest rides personnel. No one at the sharpest rides ever warned me of a dangerous airbag. No one at the sharpest rides ever warned me of an unsafe, hazardous condition in my car.
Takata recall I called 1 877 432 7841. After explaining that I lived hundreds of miles from the nearest BMW dealer, I was told by the phone rep that my case would be accelerated and that I would be hearing back by phone. I waited days, but no one ever called me. I then called 1-800-831-1117. I got bounced around and was finally connected with a BMW dealer in Idaho falls, almost 500 miles from my home in rosebud, Montana. The person who spoke to me was very young, had a poor attitude, and wanted to order me around. She ignored all my pleas. I am 65 years old and drive hundreds of miles per week for my usda job. I thus do not have the physical stamina or time to drive to Idaho falls. Nevertheless she told me I had to drive to Idaho falls for a Saturday appointment. She informed me that any expenses I incurred (gasoline, lodging, etc.) had to come out of my own pocket and that I would not be reimbursed. I begged her to have the airbags sent to a mechanic or body shop near me in Montana. She refused. I ended the conversation and sent an sos email to the dot. The dot has never answered my email.

Recalled passenger air bag was replaced by dealer last week, but the dashboard light indicates the passenger air bag is turned off.

I maintain this is directly elated to the recalled air bag and should be fixed without charge.
