| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 bmw 325i. The air bag warning light illuminated on the dashboard. My problem is described on the nhtsa recall id 08v384000 (air bags: frontal). The mileage is approx 43,000. The vehicle has not been repaired. My car falls under the criteria noted on 08v-384 recall notification. Bmw says my vin doesn't qualify, however my car still obviously has a problem, and bmw is in denial. I've also noted other complaints on safetycar. Gov with similar bmw interactions. Bmw is avoiding responsibility, and the nhtsa needs to do more to protect our safety. |
