I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART UNTIL AT LEAST JULY OF THIS YEAR, LEAVING ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE.

AT AROUND 8000 MILES THE CAR WOULD HESITATE UPON HARD ACCELERATION, (MERGING INTO TRAFFIC) THE CAR BECAME UNPREDICTABLE, SOMETIMES IT WOULD PREFORM AS DESIGNED OTHER TIMES IT WOULD PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE COMPLAINT FROM OTHER OWNERS AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE A FIX. I CALLED BMWNA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AFTER A FEW OF TRYING TO GET AN APPOINTMENT UNSUCCESSFUL THE CAR ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, I TOOK IT BACK IN AND AFTER A WEEK THEY HAD DECIDED TO REPROGRAM IT, UPON DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED IT WAS MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE AND DROVE LIKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CAR. HOWEVER IT DISPLAYED THE PROBLEM ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS JUST NOT AS SEVERE. I CALLED BMWNA AND UPDATED THEM, THEY SENT A FIELD ENGINEER OUT WHO LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND TOLD ME "JUST DRIVE IT IN SPORT MODE", I DONT FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD DRIVE IN SPORT MODE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I CALLED BMWNA AND TOLD THEM OF THE RESULTS AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, THEY REFUSED. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE FEB 2016 FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED. BMW HAS NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE RESOLVED.
