| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Reasonable time has passed since the airbag recall. But i have not heard as to when this safety issue will be resolved. Every time i drive the car i feel i am risking my life or chance for serious injury. Bmw has been completely negligent with regards to resolving this issue. Bmw should temporarily remedy the situation by replacing the car with a similar vehicle. I need this to be resolved now!!!. Also the drive train has a clunking noise of which i have been complaining since new. They have made temporary adjustment but the problem still surfaces. This happens when i shift gears even at slow speeds (6 spd manual transmission). |
