TAKATA RECALL-I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE BMW OF SOUTH ATLANTA REPAIRED THE DRIVER SEAT-I THINK. WHEN I LEFT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON AND I ASKED ABOUT IT THE TECH SAID IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT YOU DON'T WANT TO SCHRAPNEL TO HIT THE PASSENGER. FROM THEN ON THE SEAT BELT SIGN STAYED ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH THEIR SEAT BELT ON. I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN LAST WEEK FOR THE WARNING LIGHT AND WAS TOLD IT IS A SEAT SENSOR AND WOULD COST $1,400.00. DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL? IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS A FAULTY PART WITH BMW THEN WHY AREN'T THEY RECALLING AND REPAIRING?

I HAD TO REPLACE THE POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION PCV VALVE HEATER AND HARNESS IN APRIL OF 2017 BECAUSE IT MELTED. THIS COST ME $3000 AT PATRICK BMW IN SCHAUMBURG, IL. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECAL # 17V-683 CONCERNING THIS. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BMW ABOUT THE RECALL. HOWEVER, I'M LOOKING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR MY OUT OF POCKET CHARGES. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CLOSEST DEALER, I WAS TOLD I HAD TO WAIT TO RECEIVE THE REIMBURSEMENT. THEREFORE, I'D LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. IN ADDITION, I SMELL A BURNT SMELL FROM TIME TO TIME. I KNOW THERE IS A BLOWER MOTOR RECALL AS WELL. I'VE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR ON MY CAR SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING
