2006 BMW 325I Complaints

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A STANDARD OIL CHANGE AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE LIGHT TURNING SIGNAL NOT WORKING AND I ALSO ADVISED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME MORE THAN 800 DOLLARS. I QUESTIONED IF IT WAS PART OF THE MOST RECENT RECALL BUT WAS ADVISED NO. SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND ISSUE AND NOT BEING INCLUDED, THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. PLEASE ADVISE HOW CARS ARE PICKED AS IT SEEMS THE CARS THAT WERE NOT NOTIFIED ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT OR SIMILAR ISSUE OF WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. I RECENTLY MOVED AS WELL SO I'M WONDERING WHAT HAPPENS IF THE LETTER IF THERE WAS ONE WAS SENT TO THE INCORRECT PLACE. *TR

MY WIFE OWN A 2006 BMW 325I, WE BOUGHT IT NEW, AND SINCE DAY ONE WE COMPLAINT TO OUR DEALER THAT THE ENGINE KNOCKS. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THUS, THEY GIVEN US A PAMPHLET ON HOW TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING. OVER, THE YEARS I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT TO NO AVAIL. WE PURCHASED OUR CAR AT BMW OF TOWNSON AND DO ALL OF OUR SERVICES AT RUSSELL BMW. BOTH DEALERS ARE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. THEY DO HAVE ALL THE RECORDS OF OUR SERVICES AND COMPLAINT PERTAIN TO ENGINE KNOCKS. RECENTLY, THERE ARE LOTS OF RECALLS WHICH INITIALLY CAR MAKERS WOULD NOT VOLUNTARY DO IT UNTIL IT IS SCRUTINIZE BY NHTSA. I WONDER IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.
