2006 BMW 330I Complaints

DOOR ACTUATORS/LOCKING MECHANISMS ARE UNRESPONSIVE TO REMOTE CONTROL. UNABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE FROM THE OUTSIDE, NOR IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE FROM THE INSIDE.

"TAKATA RECALL" BMW TAKING TOO LONG TO CORRECT THE AIR BAG RECALL ISSUE. SINCE MARCH 2016 I'VE LOST THE ABILITY USE THE CAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR AND THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DEATH DUE TO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR IS NOW IN PNO STATUS. BMW SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TOWING FEES , TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEIR FACILITIES TO CORRECT AIR BAG INFLATOR.

THIS BMW HAD A RECALL, WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALER SHIP MARCH 2016, SEATBELT AND AIR BAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON. BMW SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT AT NO COST AND THE RECALL SHOULD NOT BE CLOSED OR THERE SHOULD BE AN EXCEPTION WHEN YOU BUY A USED BMW. IT'S A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY OR THE SEATBELT DOES NOT WORK

DROVE HOME ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TRIED TO CALL BMW THEY WERE CLOSED, WENT TO MY MECHANIC NEXT MORNING HE TOLD ME IT WAS FAULTY TO CALL BMW, I CALLED BMW PLAZA AND THEY TOLD ME TOUGH THEY WOULDNT DO ANYTHING. I HATED THE HOLE SO WENT TO AUTOZONE TO GET SOMETHING TO REPAIR IT WHICH MADE IT LOOK WORSE...BEEN LOOKING ON LINE FOR SEATS VERY EXPENSIVE. MY BOSS TOLD ME AS WELL THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO ATTORNEY GENERAL WHICH I MESSAGED FROM MISSOURI AND US ATTORNEY GENERAL.
