2012 Bmw 335I XDRIVE - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"while driving with a passenger in front passenger seat, i occasionally receive a warning that there is a malfunction in passenger restraint system. at that time, the "pass airbag off" light goes on. i did take this to the dealer and was told it is likely a faulty passenger airbag seat occupancy sensor mat. the car is available for inspection our safety is potentially compromised because the passenger airbag may not go off in an accident."

"takata recall- have notified global imports of marietta/atlanta georgia every month since i purchased this vehicle. they will not return calls or make appointment. they inform me that i will get email correspondence and i never do. can you help?"

"takata recall - i called the local dealer on 9-25-17 when i received the safety recall letter. after 2 months the part is still not available and on 11-30-17 i was told that the part may be available in february 2018. i am concerned about this and do not feel safe driving my car. can you help me to get the parts much sooner than february of next year? thank you for your time and consideration."

"tl* the contact owns a 2012 bmw 335i. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v071000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. braman motorcars in west palm beach, florida was made aware of the recall and stated that the parts were unavailable. the dealer originally stated that the parts would become available in late august or early september of 2017. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect."

"takata recall i have contacted coggin bmw ft. pierce fl. several times to get my airbag fixed. over a year now and still they claim that the parts have not come in yet. is this true and what can i do to get this recall taken care of."

"takata recall - i received my letter in september 2017 that bmw has the parts to replace the airbag and to call immediately to schedule this repair. i called and was told that it would take 4-8 weeks to get the parts and then i could schedule an appointment. given that this is a serious safety recall, i am shocked that it has taken this long to even be notified that the repair can finally be done (when information about deaths from these airbags has been available for more than a year). i have asked for more than a year to get this fixed. now i get a letter that bmw can make the repair, but it will be more than one month and maybe two more months before this can be done. what oversight do you have to ensure that bmw and others are getting these repairs done in a timely fashion. thank you.

"airbag recall has been in place for 17 months and no resolution. apparently it can cause injury or death if i am in an accident - and still no resolution for my car to address the recall from bmw."

"takada recall we received a recall notice in march 2016 (bmw recall campaign no. 16v-071) regarding the "driver's front air bag module". we have spoken and emailed our local bmw service center about having this part replaced and have been told repeatedly that they do not have the part. we contacted a customer service representative from bmw and were told that the part would not be available until june 2017 at the earliest. when i said that i thought that this was an unreasonably long time to replace a part that, if it ruptured, could cause serious injury or death to the driver and/or passengers, the bmw customer service representative told us that they received their time schedules from the nhtsa. it appears as if each level of the chain for solving this problem is more interested in finger pointing than solving a potentially life-threatening problem. it would be nice if the nhtsa would use their authority to "encourage" a speedier resolution to this issue."
