Takata recall: Driver side air bag. We have received 2 notices of defective air bags September 2014 and May 2015. We had the passenger replaced but have waited on the drivers side for over a year. I have been told buy one maintenance supervisor that if we didn't feel safe don't drive it. I have also been told we can have it disconnected. I just want the problem fixed and my wife to be able to drive her car safely. Right now her life is in danger every time she drives her car. Can you help us with this issue?

Takata recall four months ago I received a written notice from BMW usa that my driver side front airbag needed to be replaced (recall campaign no. 15V-318), but that parts were not yet available. Over four months have passed and I have heard nothing further on this recall from BMW usa or my local dealership. The original notice that I received indicated that I could notify NHTSA if this matter was not resolved within a reasonable period of time. I am doing so with this message and asking what recourse I have in getting this matter addressed?

BMW recalled this car for the airbag many moths ago. BMW advised us the air bag replacement parts would be available by the end of December 2014. I have contacted BMW and they advised me they have no dates when they would be available. My local dealer states I am on a list and 40 people are in front of me and it can take in excess of three months to schedule the repair if they get the parts. BMW has been unresponsive and can not provide any information other than the parts are on back order.

Received front airbag recall notice in mid-September 2014 and was told I would be contacted about replacement. It has now been 4 months since notice and the car still has not been fixed and I have been without use of car for 4 months. This is unacceptable!
