2008 BMW X5 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTIFIED MARCH 2016 DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE RECALLED, JULY 2016 PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE RECALLED, AND DECEMBER 2016 IN-TANK FUEL PUMP RECALLED. NO NOTICES TO FIX ANY OF THESE ITEMS. TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE REPLACE MY KEY FOB TWO TIME IN ONE YEAR EACH TIME IT COST ME $275.00 BY BMW WHY CAN'T BMW REPLACE THE KEY WITH A $2.00 LIKE ALL ITS OTHER MODELS. ONLY THE 2008 MODELS COST THAT MUCH

BILL PEARCE BMW (BILLPEARCEBMW.COM/) IN RENO, NV HAS IN NO WAY RESOLVED THESE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE MADE AT LEAST 10 CALLS OVER THE LAST 17 MONTHS TO THEIR SERVICE/PARTS DEPARTMENT TO INQUIRE ON AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING AT ITS OPTIMAL LEVEL AND IS POTENTIALLY GETTING DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT IS UNDER RECALL. I AM DRIVING AT MY AND MY FAMILY'S RISK DUE TO BOTH AIRBAGS AND FUEL PUMP NOT MEETING SAFETY REGULATIONS AND BMW IS BEING NEGLIGENT IN TREATING THESE 3 RECALLS AS A PRIORITY. I HAVE ALSO ESCALATED THE MATTER TO BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS ON 7/26/17 AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE. THERE IS NO INCIDENT RELATED TO THIS COMPLAINT, BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE INDICATED THE DATE OF THE FIRST COMMUNICATION RECEIVED BY BMW AS WELL AS UPLOADED A PDF VERSION OF THEIR INITIAL NOTIFICATION.

WE ARE SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN WE STOP WE COULD STILL SMELL GASOLINE. WE TOOK IN TO THE BMW SHOP ON JULY 5, 2017, BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T THE RECALL IN-TANK FUEL PUMP PART YET
