THERE IS A NON COMPLIANT RECALL REMEDY UNAVAILABLE FOR A TRIM PIECE INSIDE THE CAR BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR DOORS AND IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH CAN POSE SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY TO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS.

I AM LOOKING FOR A OTHER CAR EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT COME BACK TO HAUNT US! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE SURE THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AWAY?

THE CAR HAS BEEN IN RECALL MODE SINCE APRIL WITH NO REMEDY! THIS IS CRAZY.
PURCHASED NEW CAR LATE DECEMBER 2018. QUICKLY REALIZED MY PARTMNER DOES NOT FIT SAFELY IN PASSENGER SEAT. WAS TOLD BY BMW THAT I CAN SELL OR DO LEASE TAKEOVER. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER I HAD A SAFETY RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION. (PREVENTING ME FROM SELLING THE CAR) A MONTH AFTER THAT I HAD TWO RECALLS & SQUEAKY BREAKS. ONE RECALL WAS CLOSED AND THE OTHER REMAINED OPEN. 4 MONTHS INTO PURCHASING A NEW CAR I'M BEING FORCED TO KEEP A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. I CANT SELL OR TRADE IN BECAUSE OF RECALLS. BMW WILL NOT TAKE MY CAR BACK AND I CANT SELL IT. I'M STUCK WAITING FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OPEN RECALL. BMW HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A NEW CAR THAT THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD 7 MONTHS WHEN 4 MONTHS INTO MY LEASE THE CAR IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING TROUBLE. I CANT SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ITS FINANCIALLY BURDENING MY FAMILY AS WE CANT USE THIS AS OUR FAMILY CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
