Description of the problem	There are (3) current recalls for this model, 2008 bmw 328i. Only (1) recall has a 'remedy' available. According to my local bmw dealership, the 'remedies' for the other (2) recalls, both of which could potentially cause a fire even in a non-running parked situation, are 'not yet available'. These recalls are: nhtsa #17v76 and nhtsa #17v683. Bmw usa has 'recommended' that the affected vehicles always be 'parked outside'. I do not consider this an acceptable solution to these dangerous and serious recall issues, as i live in a 'marginal' neighborhood prone to auto theft and weather damage. My question is, when/how soon will nhtsa (federal government) force this auto mfr (bmw) to quickly and adequately address and provide permanent mechanical solutions for these (2) recalls. In fact, just recently (4/28/18) a house was destroyed by a fire by one of these bmw model recalls, parked in the garage and not running. Bmw said they would contact owners of all affected vehicles when a solution has been found, but 'have no idea when that will be'. Not acceptable. These are a serious safety issues that affects one million+ vehicles and the health and safety of millions of american families. Please advise what you intend to do to protect these car owners?
