Takata recall. I've have been trying to get my airbag replaced for over a year. The last time I called the dealer, they told me my car wasn't part of the recall. My VIN shows on the recall list and I received notice from bmv to contact them. Keeler motor car in latham NY is the dealer.

Takata recall. Reasonable time has passed since the airbag recall. But I have not heard as to when this safety issue will be resolved.every time I drive the car I feel I am risking my life or chance for serious injury. BMW has been completely negligent with regards to resolving this issue. BMW should temporarily remedy the situation by replacing the car with a similar vehicle. I need this to be resolved now!!!. also the drive train has a clunking noise of which I have been complaining since new. They have made temporary adjustment but the problem still surfaces. This happens when I shift gears even at slow speeds (6 spd manual transmission).

Takata recall airbag BMW told me not to drive car to park it and they want to give me rental. Unknow how long for repair I lease car at $1245 per month way should I get a lesser car and continue my payments.I have 2 years left I want to trade it in for the same value on a M4 shouldnt they give me the same deal to get me out of my lease..
