I DROVE FROM LOS ANGELES, CA TO HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, CA OVER THE HOLIDAYS. THE PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR WHEN I WAS WITHIN 100 MILES OF MY DESTINATION TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEED. OVER THE WEEKND, MY BRAKES BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS. AS IF I HAVE NO MORE POWER ASSIST. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEN MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WAS AFFECTED. HOWEVER, BMW CLAIMS THAT MY VIN IS "UNAFFECTED " EVEN THOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS LISTED IN THE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 13V045000

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA LAST YEAR TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT RECEIVING A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG FOR MY 2008 BMW X5 3.0 SI. THEY TOLD ME IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TOWARDS THE END OF SUMMER 2016. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF ITS AVAILABILITY UP TO NOW (LATE FALL 2017). I THINK THEY COMPLETELY IGNORED MY COMPLAINT. THE CATASTROPHIC RISK STILL EXISTS WITH MY CAR. I NEED NHTSA'S ASSISTANCE FOR BMW TO ACT ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE WAITED FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND STILL NO ACTION FROM BMW.
