2010 BMW 128I Problems

First notified of recall in October, 2023. After 8 months, BMW tells me there is no remedy available. Eight months is more than a reasonable amount of time to remedy this defect. Please help! Thank you.

Passenger restraint system malfunction. An independent repair shop tested and found the passenger seat sensor pad is bad. From my research, BMW has a problem with this part.

I have contacted BMW multiple times to come out and perform all 3 recalls. They said they would call back for details specific date to send out a certified mechanic to remedy the recalls. My wife never got a call back. I live over a hundred miles from any dealer on the VA and WV state lines. I can't afford to take time off to bring the car to them.
