| Description of the problem | Takata recall airbag bmw told me not to drive car to park it and they want to give me rental. Unknow how long for repair i lease car at $1245 per month way should i get a lesser car and continue my payments . I have 2 years left i want to trade it in for the same value on a m4 shouldnt they give me the same deal to get me out of my lease.. Florida has a higher risk becauseof the heat for the air bag to explode. Im 5ft 1 and im afraid to drive my car... I havent driven it since they told me about recall .. I happen to bring car for service or i would of never been told.. I spoke to sales person and he said i need to get out of my lease.. They said they would with a much higher payment which is totaly unfair... What can i do.... I want out i want a m4 to replace my m3 . Please leave a message if you try to call |
