BMW has to fix this priority 3 recall, 2 are the front airbags, (inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other passengers, potentially resulting in serious injury or death) before some really bad can happen. 1 is the fuel tank leaks can cause fire another real bad option can happen. I have my BMW stalling last week was very bad, the car just stop on freeway with not control of the steering wheel was very scary and also my and my family life was in danger. When I go to BMW (kelly BMW columbus) they ignore completely the recall and they start to charge me 145 for stalling when should be free and see the attachment for what they try to charge me.I will like to get this fix soon as possible before me or my family can risk life. Thank you

"takata recall" I received 2 letters from BMW re: Recalls for (1) driver's front air bag module, (2) passenger's front air bag module dated respectively, (1) March 2016 and (2) July 2016 and up till now, no definite dates when the parts would be available for in-shop repair.
Car had 56000 miles on it, at 99500 motor went, then air springs, parking brake, takata recall, when the transmission, vacuum pump, and how the recall on the fuel pump. Today the I drive went out in total myself and the warranty company have spend over 24000. Dollars on a car that per BMW is the ultimate driving machine, more like junk!!! and no parts in sight to repair the air bags or the fuel pump. I think a class action should be filed. I'm 58 years old not 18 I take good care of my cars. The car value on kelly blue book is only 12000. We need help to make BMW stand behind where quality not their hand in our back pockets, no car that cost $77500 in 2007 should have all these problems. A Ford or Chevy would do better. I've been told that BMW knew there was a problem with the 2007-2010 X5 with the 4.8 I engine and I drive but never made it good, just ask anyone that owned one. My last one I think Kia would hold up better!!!!!!!!!!!! by the way the car has 125200 now, I'm afraid to drive it, it just quits with no warning.
