Description of the problem | I received a safety recall notice - remedy unavailable from bmw. The airbag warning light has been activated on the dashboard since december 19, 2019. The notice read that "it is also possible that the airbag housing may explode and could cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag cushion material, striking the driver or other occupants which may result in injury or death." i spoke with bmw customer relations and was told that i could continue to drive the vehicle. I will not drive the vehicle until this problem is remedied nor should i be expected to. It has been more than five months since i received the original notice and there is still no date given for the expected remedy. I believe that bmw should provide me with a replacement vehicle until such time as a remedy is available. Why hasn't a stop driving order been issued by bmw if this problem could result in the death of the driver? What recourse do i have? |
