TAKATA RECALL
TAKATA RECALL. I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2014 BMW X1 IN THE WINTER OF 2015, JUST A YEAR AFTER LEASING THIS VEHICLE. A CAR HIT ME SO HARD FROM BEHIND, THAT I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, TOTALING MY CAR COMPLETELY. I WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MEDICAL BILL THAT MY HEALTH INSURANCE DID NOT COVER. IF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, I MAY NOT HAVE HIT MY HEAD AND WOULD HAVE SAVED ME FROM GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. THIS RECALL COULD HAVE CAUSED OTHERS WITH A MORE SEVERE ACCIDENT POSSIBLE DEATH. THEREFORE BMW SHOULD NOT ONLY REPLACE THE DEFECTED AIRBAGS BUT ALSO COMPENSATE EVERYONE WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES DRIVING THIS MACHINE THAT COULD HAVE KILLED THEM.
TAKATA RECALL - DELAER SAYS THERE ARE NO PARTS, BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THERE ARE. SOMEONE IS LYING.

TAKATA RECALL- I REALIZE THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CARS IMPACTED BY THE RECALL OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS, HOWEVER, I ALSO AM STUNNED THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND THE SAME VERY DANGEROUS AIRBAGS HAVE NOT YET BEEN REPLACED IN MY CAR BY BMW AS OF THIS DATE. NOT A COMFORTING FEELING!! WHEN I CALLED ABOUT IT, BMW SAID THAT MY CAR IS NOT ON A "HIGH PRIORITY" LIST- PLEASE HAVE THEM TELL THAT TO MY FAMILY IF I- MY HUSBAND, OR MY CHILDREN- SHOULD DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE UNCORRECTED AIRBAG SITUATION! IS THERE A WAY THAT YOUR AGENCY CAN HELP REQUIRE FASTER REPLACEMENTS? JUST WONDERING.......
TAKATA RECALL - THE RECALL HAPPENED FEBRUARY 5, 2016. IT IS NOW JULY 29, 2017. THAT IS OVER A YEAR AND A HALF, AND I HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH MEANS I AM WAY DOWN THE LIST TO BE FIXED. I THINK A YEAR AND A HALF OF DIVING AROUND WITH UNSAFE AIRBAGS IS ENOUGH. ANOTHER PERSON WAS KILLED BY EXPLODING AIRBAGS JUST THIS WEEK, I HEARD IN THE NEWS. GET MINE FIXED NOW!

TAKATA RECALL-I WAS NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO FEB 2016 OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MONTHLY FOR A WHILE AND WAS TOLD AT ONE POINT THEY ARE CHANGING THE AIRBAGS IN NEW DEALER VEHICLES TO BE SOLD. I FEEL CURRENT VEHICLES ALREADY SOLD SHOULD BE REPAIRED FIRST, NOT NEW ONES TO CONTINUE MAKING A PROFIT WHILE WE ARE AT RISK.
TAKATA RECALL - I PURCHASED A BMW X1 SAV 2014 FROM A JACKSONVILLE, FL BMW DEALER (TOM BUSH BMW ORANGE PARK) ON FEBRUARY 2, 2017. THE DEALER STATED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE SALES PROCESS THAT THE RECALLED AIRBAG WAS FIXED, "SO THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT". UPON BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER FOR SERVICE ON APRIL 18, 2017, THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SERVICED FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS STILL EQUIPPED WITH RECALLED AIRBAGS. UPON DEMANDING REMEDY, THE DEALER STATED THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL FALL 2017. THEREFORE, THE DEALER MISREPRESENTED THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE SALE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A LOANER OR RENTAL VEHICLE. THE DEALER FURTHER SUGGESTED THAT NO PERSONS RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED BMW MONTHLY FOR 14 MONTHS AND THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED IT

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN APPROX 10 MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, BUT BMW HAS NOT SAID WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED. THEY JUST SAY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT TO WAIT FOR THE FIX? IS THERE NOT A TIME LIMIT FOR THE RECALL TO BE COMPLETED?

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM BMW BACK IN LATE FEBRUARY / EARLY MARCH 2016 REGARDING THIS RECALL. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY NINE MONTHS NOW SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT IS TAKING TO ADDRESS THE TAKATA AIRBAG SITUATION. I KNOW THAT IT STATES IN ONE OF MY NOTICES FROM BMW THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND THAT THEY WILL NOTIFY ME ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO DO THE REPAIRS, BUT I THINK 9 MONTHS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME. I AM NOT SURE OF WHEN BMW FIRST KNEW THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THE RECALLED AIRBAG BUT IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY SOLD ME THE CAR KNOWING THAT THE AIRBAG WAS DEFECTIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I AM CURRENTLY STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I DO NOT LIKE AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH SINCE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IT IN 2014. I HAVE HAD EVERY INTENTION OF TRADING THIS CAR IN, BUT NOW WITH THE RECALL, I AM STUCK WITH IT. BMW HAS BEEN TOTALLY RUDE AND GIVES NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE AIRBAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, MY SERVICE REP SAID THAT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IF I DIED DUE TO THE AIRBAG, MY FAMILY WOULD AT LEAST BE RICH. WE HAVE CONTACT BMW AND THEY TELL US THAT THE AIRBAG WE HAVE ISN'T REALLY PART OF THE RECALL, BUT SINCE ALL OF THEM HAVE TO BE REPLACED, OUR CAR IS ON THE LIST. WE ARE SEEING ARTICLES THAT SAY THAT BMW HAS UNTIL 2020 TO REPLACE IT. DOES THAT MEAN I AM STUCK WITH THIS THING? WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE CAR, THE SOUND SYSTEM DIED IN THE CAR. THE CAR HAS LOCKED ME OUT OF IT AT THE GAS STATION (KEYS IN THE CAR), THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. IT WILL SUDDENLY SOUND AN ALARM THAT MY PASSENGER NEEDS TO WEAR IT'S SEAT BELT WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER AND NOTHING IS ON THE SEAT. AND NOW I HAVE THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM. I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND BMW HAS NOT BE HELPFUL AT ALL. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
