TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 10/1/2016. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE MY CAR WHILE I RODE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY FRIEND ENDED UP DRIVING INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A STOP LIGHT. WE WERE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY, MY FOREARM AND WRIST BROKE AFTER THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND HIT ME.

I FEEL AS THOUGH THE AIRBAGS DID MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD. ATTACHED IS THE POLICE REPORT, PICTURES, AND A COPY OF MY SURGEON'S INSTRUCTIONS AFTER SURGERY.

I'M SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT PER INSTRUCTIONS ON LETTER I RECEIVED RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL ON BMW DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS. ON AUGUST 15TH 2017 I WAS GIVEN A FOUR WEEK LEAD TIME FOR THE AIRBAG REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED ON MY BMW RELATED TO RECALL #16V071 BY MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP (NALLEY BMW OF SOUTH ATLANTA) THEREAFTER I CALLED BMW USA AND THEY WERE OF LITTLE TO NO HELP TO SPEED THIS UP. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF DEATH / SERIOUS INJURY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL MY CAR REMAINS OUT OF USE SINCE AUGUST 14TH 2017. FOUR WEEKS WAITING FOR A CRITICAL SAFETY REPAIR IS BEYOND A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME!! I DEMAND EITHER MY REPAIR IS CARRIED OUT IMMEDIATELY OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS.
