One week after i purchaseed bmw x5, the airbag light switched on my dashboard while i was driving on highway and igot a massage saying"fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter. continue to wear seat belt. please contact the nearest bmw center."as my car has been affected by the recall, a bmw dealer will fix the airbag problem free of charge. my bmw doesn't have to have an existing warranty to be covered by a recall. today 1/27/2020 i went to the bmw dealer in edison for the recall, after 6 hours i received the car and the airbag light still on ???? i asked the employee why the airbag still on? he answered me " we changed the parts but to turne this light off you will pay for it " i asked how much? he said around $400??? i didn't agree and left the dealer with the airbag light on. the conclusion, they don't wanna do it for free!!!!, i'm driving my car without passenger side airbag????
The passenger seat weight occupancy sensor intermittently works. i am concerned if it is not working properly, the airbag may not deploy properly. also, the seat belt warning light chimes even though the seat is not occupied.
Me and my kids were driving our 2011 bmw x5, we went to a full stop on the freeway, a semi was driving too fast behind us, the semi was on its way to crushing me and my three daughters in the car. we tried to move out of its way and crashed in the car infront of us as there was no place to go. the one second decision was the toughest decision i had to take in my life, either the semi is going to kill us all i i can crash in the car front of us to avoid death, we were relying on the airbag to save our life, the airbag didn't deploy, accident occurred on july 17th. thankfully the airbag did not deploy or we would've been all dead from the defective bmw airbag, yesterday (july 31st) we received a letter from the dmv that we need to contact bmw to replace the defective airbag. what if the airbag deployed that day? how much is a human life worth? we purchased a bmw to protect us during an accident and we feel cheated. we would've all lost our lives. the car has been towed ...
Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2011 bmw x5. the contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a dealer (bmw 6655 coliseum blvd, alexandria, la 71303 (318) 445-6678) to be serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 19v017000 (air bags). after the recall remedy was performed, the vehicle was towed back to the contacts residence however the check engine warning light was illuminated along with a note from the dealer indicating that the engine was at a 50% capacity and that the vehicle needed to be returned at the dealer. the contact called the same dealer when it was informed that the drive shaft needed to be replaced under an extended warranty but after calling on a later time the dealer then informed the contact that they would be responsible for the cost of repairs. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that they would investigate the issue however then declined to cover any repair costs. the failure mileage was 107,000.
Takata recall: i called the wayne, nj bmw dealership multiple times to replace the affected takata inflators airbags. wayne bmw dealership stated they were unable to replace takata inflators airbags.
Takata recall. we have a terrible track record with the two local dealers, as they do not do work that they say they do. they also make it very difficult to get cars into service and back again. i do not want to deal with them again. they have zero respect for the law, the car shows the "audi auto accelerate problem" when coming off the freeway and i parking lots. the car was delivered in a state where it could not be driven on the street legally, and they had the gall to demand that we sign a waiver which we did to do. they had to fix the legal issues the car had.
Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2011 bmw x5. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v071000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the dealer and manufacturer were notified. the contact was aware that he resided in zone "c", but still felt that a year and half was an excessive amount of time for a recall repair. the dealer and the manufacturer confirmed that parts were not available for the recall remedy. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.
I was driving on the freeway and alll of a sudden i received an audible and visual warning stating that the passenger restraint system malfunctioned. at the time, there were no passengers in the vehicle. this seems to be an occurring issue with bmw vehicles. i've had the same problem on two other vehicles.

Takata recall. i has been over a year since i have received the recall notice and bmw is doing nothing to fix my problem. i live in florida and have heard that salt air makes the problem worse, so i would expect people living by the ocean would get top priority.
Takata recall - despite multiple requests and promises for over a year, bmw has done nothing to address the defective airbag. bmw continues to push the delivery date of the parts out.
Takata recall - it's been over a year since i received the recall notice. furthermore the car is going on 6 years old. i live in a high humid region. absolutely ridiculous it is taking this long for an airbag replacement.
I purchased car 2011-sole owner dealer state replaces engine pulley bolt 2012? driving in dark and rain in mountains nc 1/24/17. all of a sudden lost ability to steer without a lot of force. then got dash errors "charging malfunction", "engine overheating" transmission failure "no abs" "drive cautiously ""turn off engine". i could not turn steering wheel hard enough to get off road. pulled barely to side and turned engine off. completely stranded and scared to death. same broken bolt to be replaced. this is lethal situation and i am stuck with a killer car. cannot afford to dump it. this car has required towing several times for engine failure that was "repaired". but i don't know what was done. in prior separate incident i was driving along engine light came on car sputtered and stopped-required towing. and takata recall also still waiting for airbags shoot shards. bmw will not replace. they think it is not hot in nc. i call 104 degrees hot.
I am hearing a buzzing sound from the center of my steering wheel when i park my x5 and the sound seems to continue after i shut down the engine. my x5 has an airbag recall outstanding for almost a full year, but my dealer has offered neither replacement nor any explanation for the delay. the buzzing sound is new, and is intermittent in nature. my family is afraid to be in the car.
