2014 BMW X1 SAV Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW X1. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V071000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. BMW OF BELLEVUE (13617 NE 20TH ST, BELLEVUE, WA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY UNTIL FEBRUARY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NHTSA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PART DISTRIBUTION. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE, I HEARD A LARGE BOOM AND I NOTICED FLYING PIECES OF GLASS WHEN I CHECKED THE REVIEW WINDOW. I PULLED OVER, GOT OUT OF CAR TO LOOK FOR DAMAGE SAW NONE BUT COULD HEAR GLASS FRAGMENTS WHEN I BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN. I WAS ONLY BLOCKS FROM MY DESTINATION AND CHECKED THE ROOF TO SEE THE BROKEN MOON ROOF. NOTHING IMPACTED THE CAR SO THE WINDOW BROKE ON ITS OWN. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF SPONTANEOUS BREAKAGE OF THE MOON ROOFS BUT MY SON REMEMBER SEEING A NEW SEGMENT ON ABC REGARDING THIS AND SENT ME THE LINK WHICH IS WHY I AM FOLLOWING UP WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I TOOK A PICTURE BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT FROM MY PHONE TO THIS SITE.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON PAPER MILL ROAD IN NEWARK, DELAWARE AND HEARD A "KERTHUNK" FROM THE ENGINE. HE PULLED OVER TO THE HARD SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, SAW HE HAD NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING, AND THEN SAW OIL GUSHING ONTO THE ROAD FROM THE MOTOR. A FEW MINUTES LATER, AS HE WAS SITTING IN THE STATIONARY CAR, HE SAW THE HOOD OF THE CAR STARTING TO BUBBLE. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE -- THAT PROCESS TOOK AROUND 15 MINUTES. THE DELAWARE STATE PATROL (OFFICER FERGUSON) ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE CAR HAD BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE BMW DEALER FOR A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT 9 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE. BMW USA ISSUED A NOTICE IN JULY 2017 ABOUT ISSUES WITH A THERMOSTAT IN THE X1. THE THERMOSTAT WAS THE ONLY PART REPLACED BY THE DEALER DURING SERVICE (NB: THERE HAD ALSO BEEN A NORMAL OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE AT THE END OF AUGUST BY THE SAME DEALER.)

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2014 BMW X1 IN THE WINTER OF 2015, JUST A YEAR AFTER LEASING THIS VEHICLE. A CAR HIT ME SO HARD FROM BEHIND, THAT I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, TOTALING MY CAR COMPLETELY. I WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MEDICAL BILL THAT MY HEALTH INSURANCE DID NOT COVER. IF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, I MAY NOT HAVE HIT MY HEAD AND WOULD HAVE SAVED ME FROM GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. THIS RECALL COULD HAVE CAUSED OTHERS WITH A MORE SEVERE ACCIDENT POSSIBLE DEATH. THEREFORE BMW SHOULD NOT ONLY REPLACE THE DEFECTED AIRBAGS BUT ALSO COMPENSATE EVERYONE WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES DRIVING THIS MACHINE THAT COULD HAVE KILLED THEM.

TAKATA RECALL - DELAER SAYS THERE ARE NO PARTS, BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THERE ARE. SOMEONE IS LYING.

TAKATA RECALL- I REALIZE THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CARS IMPACTED BY THE RECALL OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS, HOWEVER, I ALSO AM STUNNED THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND THE SAME VERY DANGEROUS AIRBAGS HAVE NOT YET BEEN REPLACED IN MY CAR BY BMW AS OF THIS DATE. NOT A COMFORTING FEELING!! WHEN I CALLED ABOUT IT, BMW SAID THAT MY CAR IS NOT ON A "HIGH PRIORITY" LIST- PLEASE HAVE THEM TELL THAT TO MY FAMILY IF I- MY HUSBAND, OR MY CHILDREN- SHOULD DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE UNCORRECTED AIRBAG SITUATION! IS THERE A WAY THAT YOUR AGENCY CAN HELP REQUIRE FASTER REPLACEMENTS? JUST WONDERING.......

TAKATA RECALL - THE RECALL HAPPENED FEBRUARY 5, 2016. IT IS NOW JULY 29, 2017. THAT IS OVER A YEAR AND A HALF, AND I HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH MEANS I AM WAY DOWN THE LIST TO BE FIXED. I THINK A YEAR AND A HALF OF DIVING AROUND WITH UNSAFE AIRBAGS IS ENOUGH. ANOTHER PERSON WAS KILLED BY EXPLODING AIRBAGS JUST THIS WEEK, I HEARD IN THE NEWS. GET MINE FIXED NOW!
