2009 bmw x3.consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair driver front air bag module recall notice.the consumer stated the air bag light has been on for the last 2-3 years.
Bmw sent letter 3/2016 about recall and continue to tell me that they do not have the parts for my cars recall.i have check several times during the last year locally and then another nearby dealership close by in another town. They said they would place me on a call list and that has been 7 mths ago. I feel like they are waiting for me to get rid of the car, but in the meantime i am at risk if i get into an accident. What do i do? thanks in advance for your advice
Received a safety recall notice in october 2017 and bmw has yet to have a remedy/solve for the issue.we are over 6 months since the recall and this is far past a reasonable amount of time to address a safety issue.
Takata recallbmw not offering loaner program and also no date available for drivers front airbag parts even though original recall notice was march 2016.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 bmw x3 sav. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v071000 (air bags). The parts to do the repairs were unavailable for the driver side air bag inflator. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall - i received a recall notice from bmw, call the local dealer, have been placed on a waiting list because they do not have parts.i am concern that if the air bag inflates there is a risk of death because of what has happen with other vehicles effect by this recall.
Nhtsa investigations pe07045 and ea08001 determined micro-cracks could develop in the side flanks of the front occupancy sensor mat causing a broken circuit and deactivation of the passenger air bag and the illumination of both the air bag warning light and the passenger air bag light. When both of the lights are illuminated, the passenger frontal air bag will not deploy in a frontal crash. Nhtsa recall campaign number 08v384000 was issued however only covers modelyears 2004-2006 of the bmw x3 sav. Request nhtsa conduct further investigations to expand the existing recall to cover all 2004-2009 model years of the first generation bmw x3 sav which many owners online can concur exhibit the same symptoms of this serious manufacturing defect that poses a severe safety risk.
There is an active recall campaign 08v-384 for defective front passenger airbags that will not deploy and protect the passenger occupant in the event of a severe accident. The active recall campaign which is extended for 10 years only covers model years 2004-2006 of the bmw x3 despite the first generation of the vehicle being produced from 2003 - 2010 and vehicles from all other years exhibiting the same symptoms. For instance my own vehicle is model year 2009 and exhibits all symptoms of the air bag issue as described in the recall campaign notice however i have no matter of recourse and have been unable to petition the dealership or bmw north america llc to remedy the issue as they have refused citing the recall campaign makes them liable only for those specific model years which is ridiculous since this is a serious safety issue and is not receiving as much attention due to the massive takata recall. I would like to petition the nhtsa to have bmw expand the airbag recall campaign to cover additional model years of the same production generation of the x3.
S10 appropriate handling- copy of a letter to president and ceo of bmw of north america ludwig weillisch regarding the availability of the safety parts needed for the airbags on his vehicles.the consumer stated he and his family own three bmw's that are all affected by the recall.

The vehicle was parked and unmoved in my driveway for several days. It suddenly broke out in flames (originating in the engine compartment). The fire grew quite large and the car exploded (the police officer's word). Security cameras on the property show no one in the area to tamper with the car. This was spontaneous combustion. A google search of "2009 bmw x3 fire" shows many other similar incidents.

With no occupant in the front passenger seat the seat belt warning alarm went off on multiple occasions, forcing the driver to fasten the passenger side seat belt even though there was no occupant. This warning also occurred once when there was an occupant in the front seat and had the seat belt properly fastened.
