I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAG FOR CLOSE TO 1 YEAR AND NO RESPONSE FROM VALENCIA BMW. I HAVE BEEN LIMITING MY USE OF MY CAR DUE TO UNSAFE AIRBAG.

I HEARD THE ENGINE FAN GOING AT MAX SPEED. ABOUT A MILE LATER, WARNING MESSAGES CAME ON TO DRIVE THE CAR MODERATELY AND THEN TO PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF. SAID THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS TOO HIGH. ELECTRONIC WATER PUMP FAILURE

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE WAITED 1 1/2 YEARS A RESOLUTION AND NOTHING DONE. NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM MORE ADEMANT THAT THIS GETS RESOLVED BEFORE I'M KILLED. ALSO, WHAT IS THE WORK-AROUND? LIKE, DISABLING THE AIRBAG.

ENGINE IS HOT MESSAGE APPEARED AND CAR LIMPS AT THE FREEWAY SPEED. IT SEEMS TO BE WATER PUMP ISSUE
