Takata recall. I got into an accident with my 2014 BMW X1 in the winter of 2015, just a year after leasing this vehicle. A car hit me so hard from behind, that I hit the car in front of me, totaling my car completely. I was sent to the hospital because my airbags failed to deploy. This has caused me thousands of dollars in medical bill that my health insurance did not cover. If the airbags went off, I may not have hit my head and would have saved me from going to the hospital. This recall could have caused others with a more severe accident possible death. Therefore BMW should not only replace the defected airbags but also compensate everyone who risked their lives driving this machine that could have killed them.

Takata recall- I realize that there are millions of cars impacted by the recall of the takata airbags, however, I also am stunned that it has been over a year and the same very dangerous airbags have not yet been replaced in my car by BMW as of this date. Not a comforting feeling!! when I called about it, BMW said that my car is not on a "high priority" list- please have them tell that to my family if I- my husband, or my children- should die in an accident because of the uncorrected airbag situation! is there a way that your Agency can help require faster replacements? just wondering.......

Takata recall - the recall happened February 5, 2016. It is now July 29, 2017. That is over a year and a half, and I have yet to be notified by the manufacturer, which means I am way down the list to be fixed. I think a year and a half of diving around with unsafe airbags is enough. Another person was killed by exploding airbags just this week, I heard in the news. Get mine fixed now!

Takata recall-I was notified over a year ago Feb 2016 of the takata airbag recall on my vehicle. I called monthly for a while and was told at one point they are changing the airbags in new dealer vehicles to be sold. I feel current vehicles already sold should be repaired first, not new ones to continue making a profit while we are at risk.

Takata recall - I purchased a BMW X1 sav 2014 from a jacksonville, fl BMW dealer (tom bush BMW orange park) on February 2, 2017. The dealer stated multiple times during the sales process that the recalled airbag was fixed, "so there is nothing to worry about". upon bringing the vehicle to the same dealer for service on April 18, 2017, the dealer stated the vehicle was not serviced for the takata airbag recall. The vehicle is still equipped with recalled airbags. Upon demanding remedy, the dealer stated the replacement airbag parts will not be available until fall 2017. Therefore, the dealer misrepresented the safety of the vehicle before sale. The dealer refused to provide a loaner or rental vehicle. The dealer further suggested that no persons ride in the passenger seat of the vehicle.
