| Description of the problem | My complaint is regarding the "takata recall". I purchased a 2006 bmw 325ci on july 10, 2015 from bmw of freeport, unbeknownst to me, with an open airbag recall. I believe that this dealership had a moral and a legal responsibility to inform me that this car could potentially result in seriously injuring or killing me. Bmw did no such thing in informing me of this risk and sold me a car that is dangerous. It took them 8 months to send me an email (march 25, 2016) informing me of this recall that they had knowledge of prior to selling me this car in july 2015 this car should have been on a do not sale list. I consider bmw of freeport to be very negligent. Bmw had knowledge that this recall would not be repaired in an expedient time frame. I am horrified that this dealer did not provide safeguards for public safety but instead cared more about financial gain. I visited the dealership a number of times and it seems that they have no foreseeable timeline in repairing this vehicle. I am requesting that bmw of freeport provide me a full refund for selling me a car that nhtsa has deemed to be a severe risk to public safety. |
