NHTSA Complaint #10934496 — 2009 BMW 128I

TAKATA RECALL---THE BMW IS USED AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE TRAVELING 64 MILES EACH DAY, 5 DAYS A WEEK. I WAS ALERTED TO THE AIR BAG PROBLEM BY THE DEALER. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 2 OCCASIONS INQUIRING AS TO THE STATUS OF THE REPLACEMENT BAGS; BOTH CALLS WERE NOT HELPFUL AS I WAS TOLD THAT THE BAGS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THERE IS NO DATE AS TO WHEN MY CAR CAN BE REPAIRED. I UNDERSTAND, TOO, THAT THE CAR CAN'T BE SOLD OR TRADED FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THIS SCENARIO HAS LEFT ME IN A COMPRIMISED POSITION. I'M DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO MY HEALTH AND I CAN'T REPLACE THE CAR WHICH NOW HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT.
