It has been two years since my cars as first placed on recall due to faulty airbags, first for the passenger side and since last July the driver side. I am filing this complaint based on this being an unreasonable period of time. I live in North Carolina and the takata air bags are more apt to be dangerous in this warm and humid climate.

(VIN): Not available summary: Takata recall- I assume that you are enabling takata to be off the hook from their responsibility to replace defective airbags because it costs them time and money to manufacture replacements around the clock. The federal government would rather watch deaths for taking money from takata as per obama's orders.I was notified a long time ago that the airbag in my 2002 BMW 330xi was dangerously defective. I have called BMW and have yet to receive an appointment to replace the defective deadly airbag. The car needs to be driven over 2 hours per day to commute to work and back. If anything happens as a negligent result for not replacing the airbag, I will commence legal action and my negligence attorney will rub his hands for you buying him a bigger home, with the airbag manufacturer, BMW, and the federal government for not enforcing the airbag recall.

Possible takata inflators - my husband and I were traveling down I-40 westbound in midwest city, Oklahoma at approximately 65 mph when the driver side, side airbag and overhead airbag deployed without provocation. Plastic and debris flew in our faces/bodies, white powder filled the car, and I swerved across two lanes of traffic almost hitting another car in the process because my eyes were watering and I could not see very well, not to mention was in a daze because I had no idea what had just happened. My husband and I have both sustained injuries and the car is not driveable. I have pictures, but they will not upload to this site for some reason. They are jpg.

Takata recall was notified earlier this year of a recall via letter. Contacted BMW numerous times about this but no further updates. No dealer has the parts available. Just ignoring customers requests for the repair. No explanation or plan from BMW although they were supposed to have an answer by Sept 1, 2015. Car has not had failure yet.
