NHTSA Complaint #10991295 — 2009 BMW X5 SAV

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THREE OPEN RECALLS FOR EXTENSIVE PERIODS OF TIME, THERE IS NO END DATE TO WHEN BMW IS PROMISING TO COMPLETE THE WORK BY, AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSELLABLE AS A RESULT. FOR OVER 18 MONTHS, THERE HAS BEEN A DRIVE AIR BAG RECALL OPEN AND OUTSTANDING WITH NO END DATE. A SECOND AIR BAG RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR AROUND A YEAR, AGAIN WITH NO END DATE. A THIRD RECALL RELATES TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, AND AGAIN THERE IS NO END DATE PROVIDED BY BMW. I HAVE RAISED A COMPLAINT BEFORE WITH NHSTA AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WE ARE STUCK WITH OUR VEHICLE; NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH OPEN RECALLS AND NO END IN SIGHT. BMW DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BMW NOT TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. THEREFORE WE CANNOT EVEN SELL THE CAR BACK TO BMW FRANCHISES. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNFAIR, ESPECIALLY SINCE BMW HAS BEEN AWARDED A LARGE SETTLEMENT FROM ITS AIR BAG MANUFACTURER BUT TAKEN NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THE VEHICLES AT ALL. WHY IS NHTSA NOT HELPING CONSUMERS SUFFERING LOSSES AT THE HANDS OF THIS TERRIBLE CAR MANUFACTURER?
