Car at 44k miles reported stalling while driving. dealer diagnosed eccentric shaft sensor failure. i have contacted bmw of north america and my car is presently in the dealerhip for a second recall over 3 months. this is not a maintence issue. i feel it is a product failure. i have requested relief from this massive expensive and have asked to be allowed to purchased an extended service warranty at a discounted price. no response as of yet.
Takata inflators and fuel pump recalls. bmw still has no fix for these issues which is a ticking time bomb for any occupants in the vehicle.
Takada recall- trying to understand why such a important safety recall is taking so long to rectify. i bought the vehicle not knowing this vehicle had 3 recalls. we were told that bmw doesn't know when parts could be available.
I purchased a car in 2/4/2017, on second driving, the car stall on the green light. i did contact dealership named sharpest rides, to ask what cause the problem, as they told me to drop car at their place to investigate and diagnosis. i did drop, after day they contact me and mentioned that they cannot duplicate the problem, because not enough tools, so they refer to bmw of denver downtown. the bmw dealer did test and diagnosis of couple days and respond with "we cannot duplicate of problem", so they return my car to me with unsafe condition. after while i starting have same problem with stall engine in the middle of road, at parking lot, or one day wasn't even start engine, or when car stall and i am lucky the guy didn't hit me in the back, but he did horned on me, showed me finger, and so on. i did contact multiple times with dealerships, with corporate headquarter at us north america and did have a chance open a case, have a chance talk to supervising, but everyone saying to me because car didn't showed error massage and they cannot duplicate problem they wont replace fuel pump, even they knew this is a fuel pump causing a problem. in addition, they did recall 136000 fuel pump, but they didn't want change now, and i did try explain them everyday we are on the road, we must keep our life safe and keep our environment safe, but they still telling me we cannot duplicate a problem. my car was a second time at same dealership on 4/72017 with same problem, and they still telling me everything fine with your car, just drive, i have four witness that can verbally in writing proof that my car stall. maybe the car is drive-able but unsafe, because you cannot predict where it can be stop. please review and see if manufacture or dealership following on all safety procedure to let people drive in high risk and dangerous of life on road. please call me [xxx]. thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Both airbags have been on the recall for over a year....are they not required to be in the vehicle, but working correctly? to wait for a recall over a year on something so important is very wrong! in addition there is another recall (oct 2016) on a fuel pump "could leak fuel during refueling or cornering" i've set up a service appointment jan 20, 2017 and i'm told neither recall items will be addressed or repaired because parts. i'm also not offered a solution outside of "carefully move away from traffic" anyone driving the car, near the car or at the refueling location is at risk...how many of these vehicles are out there? more has to be done!! bmw should repair these asap or have them taken off the road. a year is unacceptable *tr

I have been having check engine light (cel) problems for years. have been told it was from the egr system. bmw first charged me over $1500 for a repair that did not work. then they replaced the whole system and said it was "under warranty" when the problem resurfaced . now the diagnostics are again saying the egr system is faulting and causing the cel again. i feel bmw needs to recall this system and continually repair it as it is an engineering fault of theirs
