What owners report
BMW DRIVERS AIR BAG MODULE RECALL, CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-071. THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE RECALL FOR MY 2010 BMW 335I X-DRIVE COUPE, DATED 02-05-2016 WAS SENT TO ME IN MARCH 2016. I CALLED RICHMOND, VA BMW AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. I WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG MODULE WOULD BE PLACED ON ORDER. I FOLLOWED UP WITH KAY IN THE RICHMOND BMW SERVICE OFFICE ON 10-06-2016 AND WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG MODULE WAS PLACED ON ORDER. I CALLED RICHMOND BMW SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN TODAY, 01-30-2017, AND WAS TOLD 30 MILLION BMWS WERE RECALLED FOR AIR BAG MODULES AND THAT THIS CAUSED THE DELAY. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG MODULES WERE SCHEDULED TO BE RECEIVED THIS SPRING 2017. THIS IS UNACCE
TAKATA RECALL MY LOCAL KENTUCKY DEALER STATES THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN MY 6 YEAR OLD 335 WILL BE FIXED AND IT MAY TAKE ANOTHER TWO YEARS.. IT'S LIKE DRIVING AN AIR BAG TIME BOMB. THEY ALSO STATE KENTUCKY IS VERY LOW ON THE PRIORITY LIST SINCE THEY DON'T SELL AS MANY CARS. UNACCEPTABLE!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 335XI. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND OIL PRESSURE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE WENT OUT ON 36,000 MILES AFTER A RECALL WAS DONE ON MY CAR BY BMW ON MAY 2013. THE RECALL WAS CHANGING THE ELECTRICAL BATTERY CABLES. RIGHT AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN MY CAR I HAD THIS ERROR ON MY COMPUTER: "ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TOO LOW. POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGES, SWITCH OFF ENGINE. CONTINUED DRIVING IS NOT POSSIBLE. PLEASE CONTACT THE NEAREST BME CENTER" RIGHT AFTER THE RECALL WAS MADE MY ENGINE START LOOSING POWER. I CALLED AND COMPLAIN BMW OF NA AND THEY DENIED MY COMPLAINS. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS OIL PUMP SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE I GOT 2 RECALLS ALREADY ON MY CAR. FIRST RECALL WAS THE FUEL PUMP NOW THE OIL PUMP. HOW MANY THINGS WILL HAVE TO BREAK IN THIS 2010 335X
REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WARNING CAME. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS ON 03/28/2011 MILEAGE AT 9008, THE SAME HAPPENED AT SPEED OF 65 WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER.
