Incident

Jul 26, 2022

I had my car towed to BMW OF WEST SPRINGFIELD MA, to get car initially overhaul and completely fixed I understand that are six underlying recalls airbags, odb communications, brakes, electrical, door latches, after calling and letting them know my car was on its way, I requested a courtesy call and no was given I call two days later to be told my car wasn’t on the lot, then to be called back hours later to be told they could not find key to my vehicle, also they tried to make me pay for the lost key in WHICH THEY LOST, they still refuse to fix the recall and are requesting me get it towed out at there expense the recalls can only be fixed by BMW, also MASSACHUSETTS AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THEM TO BE FIXED, so therefore the car cannot leave the lot until recall is fixed

BMW HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL SAYING THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN# WERE COVERED. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN MINE HAS FAILED, SHOULD I NOT BE COVERED SINCE I HAVE A SENSOR THAT FAILED. *TR

AIR BAG OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT FAULT ILLUMINATED UPON INITIAL START OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY MAT. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2007 BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE WAS FEB 2007 AND THE RECALL COVERS BUILD DATES OF 2005 TO SEPT. 2006. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL. *TR
