VEHICLE SEATBELTS DO NOT CROSS OVER CHEST FOR ME. THERE IS NOT A SEATBELT ADJUSTER LIKE MOST VEHICLES HAVE SO THE SEAT BELT CUTS ACROSS MY NECK AND LOCKS UP ON MY NECK WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES. I SPOKE WITH BMW CONSUMER AND THEY RECOMMEND PURCHASING A CUSHION BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ITS LIKE THE SEAT BELT IS CHOKING OR STRANGLING ME WHEN BRAKING. ALSO MY KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK FROM A DISTANCE LIKE MOST VEHICLES. I HAVE TO BE ON THE CAR PRESSING AND PRESSING. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED LIKE BMW RECOMMENDED AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. HOWEVER ON THEIR NEW MODEL VEHICLE THE NEW KEYLESS ENTRIES WORK FROM A DISTANCE.

TAKATA RECALL" MY BMW DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I DON'T FEEL SAF DRIVING MY CAR NOW. WHAT SHOULD (CAN) I DO?

I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET WHERE I WANTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON TO ANOTHER CITY STREET. SINCE THE LIGHT WAS RED I APPLIED MY BRAKES SLOWLY AND TRIED TO COAST TO A GENTLE STOP BEHIND OF A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, MY BREAK PEDDLE LOST ALL PRESSURE AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL AND REAR ENDED THE TRUCK INFRONT OF ME. LUCKILY I HAD ALREADY SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY BEFORE THE BRAKES ON MY CAR COMPLETLY FAILED. AFTER I REAR ENDED THE TRUCK I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK, THEN INTO REVERSE TO BACK AWAY FROM THE TRUCK. AT THAT POINT MY BREAKS SEAM TO RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTION. FORTUNATELY PRIOR TO COLLISION I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I LIGHTLY BUMPED THE TRUCK'S BUMPER AND DID NOT PUSH THE TRUCK INTO THE CAR THAT WAS INFRONT OF HIM. HIS TRUCK WAS UNDAMAGED BECAUSE I HIT HIS TOW HITCH,BUT MY LICENSE PLATE AND FRONT BUMPER WERE SLIGHTLY DENTED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR MY BRAKE PEDDLE SEEMED VERY SENSITIVE, BUT I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE PEDDLE HAS SOFTENED UP. AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT I HAD MY SON DRIVE ME HOME. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH HE FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL (NHTSA #14V627000 & #13V454000) FOR MY CAR (AS WELL AS HIS 2014 BMW 328I) THAT INCLUDES OUR MAKE, MODELS AND YEARS THAT IS CONSISTANT WITH EXACTLY WHAT HAD OCCURRED. BUT WHEN WE INPUT OUR VIN NUMBERS, OUR CARS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. WE HAVE CHECKED THE BMW SITE AS WELL AS THE NHTSA SITES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. WE HAVE SCHEDUALED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CARS BREAKS INSPECTED AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS MAY NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE OUR VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE INCLUDED THE VEHICLES.
