In November, 2020, I received a notification from BMW that the previous fix to my airbag was only a temporary fix, and I needed to bring my car in for a permanent fix. In January, 2021, the airbag light went on. I am getting ready to start driving my cars on a regular basis again, so I took the car in this week for the airbag recall. They spent 2 hours, to allegedly replace a module. As I was getting ready to leave, the airbag light was still on. They said that wasn't part of the recall, and I needed to pay $200 to have it diagnosed. 3 hours later, they said it was an airbag module (presumable different than the one they allegedly just replaced), and they said it is not part of the recall. Now, the first repair for the airbag was roughly two years ago, now they are saying the module that is failing is not related to the recall. I think they either didn't do the airbag module when it was in for the repair or the fact they installed a "temporary fix" two years ago is leading to the failure of this module today. Anyway, I don't see how this is not part of the recall. Oh, they want $2,000 to fix it.

Air bag light came on.......

This car is subject to the airbag recall.I was first notified of this in September 2014. Since then, BMW has repeatedly put off the target date for this repair. Back in October 2014, an article in the financial times stated that replacement parts for the first 25% of the parts would not be available until February 2015. If BMW was aware of this in October 2014, why didn't they make alternate arrangements with another vendor and backcharge takata?

BMW sent me a recall notice to replace the takata passenger side air bag. I contacted my dealer in late October. The dealer has not responded and BMW usa says it does not know when parts may be available. The car was purchased in miami, fl new from a BMW dealer and was located in the Florida keys for approximately 3 years. I now live on the water in northern California where the humidity is typically 99% overnight and my deck does not dry all day due to high humidity. Summertime temperatures are in the upper 80S to low 90S with several days each summer above 100 F. while I understand parts shortages, I am also unable to drive with a passenger in my car in what I believe is a safe manner. If a manufacturer cannot fix as recall in a reasonable time they should make other provisions for vehicle owners.

Rear park distance control sounded and airbag warning light came on simultaneously. Software reprogrammed 2 times so far which corrected the airbag warning light. Warning light has come back on after each reprogramming as soon as park distance control sounds. Note: Car has smg transmission.
