I CRASHED MY CAR ON 11/10/2015 AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I DROVE THROUGH A HEAVY RAIL FENCE AND STRUCK A TREE WITH THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE BUMPER. A LARGE SECTION OF THE FENCE PENETRATED THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND LODGED IN THE VEHICLE. CAUSE OF ACCIDENT I BECAME UNCONSCIOUS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HEART PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL. BMW DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERRING MY LEASE TO ANOTHER WILLING PARTY WHEN BMW NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL ISSUE AND BLOCKED THE LEASE TRANSFER WHICH THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO. THEY ALSO WILL NOT LET ME PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. BOTH THESE ISSUES BREACH THE LEASE AGREEMENT I SIGNED WITH THEM. THE CAR IS UNUSABLE WITH SUCH A DEFECT AND IS LIKELY TO TAKE 6MONTHS OR MORE TO FIX. THEY OFFER NO TIME LINE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND REQUEST THAT I SIGN A WAIVER ACCEPTING AN INFERIOR RENTAL CARE DURING THE PERIOD IT TAKES FOR THEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND ASSUME THE COST AND LIABILITY OF STORING THE UNUSABLE BMW. I EITHER WANT BMW TO FIX THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, LET ME CANCEL MY LEASE WITH NO PENALTY.

ON FEBRUARY 7TH, 2016 AT 3:15 AM, ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN FOREST HILL AND MILITARY, A DRUNK DRIVER TRAVELING WEST BOUND WHILE I WAS HEADING EAST DROVE INTO MY LANE, HITTING ME DIRECTLY. AFTER THIS HEAD-ON COLLISION, THE DRIVER DECIDED TO FLEE THE SCENE, LEAVING ME STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN PAIN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALIVE. THE AIRBAG INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY LEAVING ME WITH EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY NECK, CHEST AND KNEE. I COULD NOT BREATHE OR TALK, I WAS RUSH TO THE WELLINGTON REGIONAL HOSPITAL. I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT AND I WAS GOING TO TURN LEFT ON MILITARY TRAIL, THE GUY WHO CRASHED ONTO ME WAS COMING FROM THE NORTH ON MILITARY TRAIL TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT ONTO FOREST HILL BLVD, BUT TOOK THE LANE HEADING EAST INSTEAD OF THE ONE HEADING WEST. HE WAS DRIVING REALLY FAST WHILE I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT TO TURN LEFT.

THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON CITY STREET AND WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY

SERVICE ENGINE SOON, ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, COOLANT LEVEL LOW, MAY DRIVE AT REDUCED SPEED. THESE ARE ALL THE ALERTS AND MESSAGES THAT POPPED UP WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER. THINKING MY VEHICLE WOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH IT'S RELATIVELY NEW AND UNDER 9K MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SUFFERED FROM RODENT DAMAGE, AND THAT THE WARRANTY WILL NOT BE COVERING THE DAMAGES AND THAT I SHOULD FILE A CLAIM WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE. I INQUIRED ABOUT WHY THE RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO THE WIRING AND ALL THEY CAN SAY WAS TO HIRE PEST CONTROL AND THEY WOULD HELP ME RID OF RODENT ISSUES AT HOME. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT BMW HAD BEEN USING SOY BASED INGREDIENTS TO PRODUCE SOME OF THEIR WIRING PARTS AND COATING. THIS OF COURSE WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN ABOUT IT IF I HADN'T FACED WITH SUCH CIRCUMSTANCE. SO BOTTOM LINE, THERE IS NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN IF RODENTS DECIDE TO HAVE A PARTY AGAIN IN MY VEHICLE OR I CAN MOVE.
