The passenger seat occupancy sensor IS defective. this IS part of the "seat mat", which IS under recall. BMW sent an initial notice of recall in september of 2017. as of april 20, 2018 the parts are still not available to perform this recall. over 7 months! no one at the dealer or BMW USA can give us a straight answer as to when the parts will become available. the q and a part of the notice indicates no one should sit in the passenger seat until this IS fixed! why IS BMW being allowed to continue to delay fixing this safety defect? I would like to know what the nhtsa IS doing to make BMW repair this in a timely manner!

I have brought my vehicle to bloomfield nj dealership on several occasions in 2013, 2014, 2015 due to vehicles inability to shift gears swiftly, rmp going to 34,000 and transmission not shifting gears. I drive about 6,000miles per year sometimes less. all dealer would say "vehicle performs as designed"....or "unable to duplicate the problem". around june 20, 2016 when in the driveway I put gear in reverse but vehicle would not move. I called BMW dealer describing the inability of my car moving in reverse dealer representative stated its transmission failure. the vehicle was towed to tra-par transmissions in belleville nj on june 23, 2016 confirmed transmission failure and replaced it june 27, 2016 for $ 3, 092.19 !!! come to find out through reading copies of receipts dealer had not described issues as there were on their work orders! after I read most of them, they don't even mention the true reason why the vehicle was brought in ! I'm very disgusted with them and I find BMW dealer stalling tactics and deception criminal.

My car was on recall for a defective airbag. I was notified in march 2016. I was told by my dealer they would notify me when they had an airbag. When I didn't hear from them still by early august I asked for a loaner car as I no longer felt safe in my car because of the constant worry about the airbag. BMW instructed me to park my car and "not drive it" which I did. finally on 11/28/16 they said they had an airbag. I brought the car in. The result from it sitting for so long has rusted my perfectly maintained brakes and rotors to be not safe to drive and my hood IS frozen shut with possibility of flying off and killing someone. BMW will not be responsible for the damage caused by the car sitting so long and I believe they should be. It IS thousands of dollars worth of damage on a car that was perfectly safely drivable before I parked it to wait for an airbag. I have the BMW recall and the paperwork that says I had to park and not drive my car. They say I was supposed to maintain my car. I started it regularly to be sure battery was good and everything seemed ok. I don't know what else I should have know to maintain if the car was ordered to be parked and not driven. They should be responsible for this. Can you please help?

I received a notice the start of the year,called BMW and was told that I had an option to have a replacement vehicle which I declined as I was informed parts would be in soon. I called back in the summer and was told parts are slowly being shipped and that because I lived in a cold part of the USA those parts with water climates would have the repairs completed first and that I'm to call back in the fall. I called today oct 5th,2016 to be told that my vehicle could not currently be repaired and BMW are waiting on a governmental solution and in the meantime I must driver a loan vehicle until the final decision or solution IS found. My complaint IS that I was never called about the issue since receiving the notice in january 2016 and if I'D not called today I'D have never known.

Takata recall: after being notified that my X3 was under recall earlier this year, I still have not received any updates to the recall or alternative options to make my car safe again. I have reached out to niello BMW here in sacramento and they are unwilling to put me in a rental or otherwise accommodate my safety needs. I need BMW to aggressively provide a solution so I can drive my family around without risking our lives by an airbag explosion. I am making a car payment and insurance payment for a car that has been dangerous to drive for 6 months. It cannot keep sitting in my garage. I need answers. Thanks.

Driving on a flat paved road and hear two mental ping sounds on the front passenger side.i pulled over to check the vehicle, and couldn't see anything. I pulled out and when I turned there was a loud vibration. This happened when turning left or right from a stop. when further inspected you could see the motor was hanging at an angle. the four bolts on the engine mount bracket had broken off causing the engine to hang down. after inspecting the parts you could see by the discoloration of two bolts that they had been broken for sometime . there IS no way of knowing when the first one broke or how long it took the last two to break .this could cause a serious problem to the operation of the vehicle. I spoke with a BMW mechanic and he said they fix this problem all the time,its not unusual. its defiantly a safety concern .

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
