2006 BMW 325I Complaints

I AM TRYING TO TRADE IN MY BMW 325I 2006. WAS TOLD THERE IS A OPEN RECALL WITH NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME. THE RECALL DATE WAS OCTOBER 25, 2017. I WAS TOLD THEY CANT GET THE PART. SO IN THE MEAN TIME I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CANT TRADE IN AND THAT IS A DANGER TO ANYONE THAT DRIVE IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BMW BECAUSE OF THIS.

OCT 25,2017 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERNA NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V676 WE ARE NOW IN FEB 2018 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEATING AIR CONDITIONING..

I BELIEVE THE SEAT SENSOR IN MY 2006 BMW 325I FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS FAULTY. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, THE LIGHT COMES ON THAT SHOWS THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ON AND ALSO THAT THE PASSENGER IS NOT BUCKLED, WHETHER THEY ARE BUCKLED, OR THERE ISN'T A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT AT ALL. WHETHER I AM STATIONARY OR DRIVING/MOVING AT ANY SPEED, THOSE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, AND WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME, THEN THEY COME BACK ON AGAIN. I AM IN A CARPOOL SO I FREQUENTLY AM THE DRIVER AND I HAVE SOMEONE IN THAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURIES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. NEWER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THIS SEAT SENSOR ON RECALL, SO THE 2006 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED.
