TAKATA RECALL DRIVERS FRONT AIRBAG.

FUEL INJECTORS ARE FAULTY

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEARD AND EXPLOSION. ACTUALLY MY SUNROOF BURST IN TO PIECES WITHOUT ANY REASON. *TR

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL THE OLD AIR BAG HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED...HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE ZONE A PRIORITY.

ON 8/21/2015, I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 BMW 335D TO WORK WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED SPEWING SMOKE ON JEFFERSON AVE. I PULLED OVER NEAR MY WORK AND SAW SMOKE SEEPING IN FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I EXITED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. I RAN INSIDE MY WORKPLACE AND GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND CAUTIOUSLY RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. AFTER FILING A CLAIM WITH STATE FARM, THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER AND PLAZA MOTOR COMPANY BMW CAME TO THE DETERMINATION THAT THE CAR'S WIRING HARNESS MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE IT. BUT THAT'S NOT MY ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED WITH HOW THE FIRE STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. PLAZA MOTORS NOR STATE FARM CAN TELL ME WHY OR HOW IT HAPPENED BUT THEY ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART AND HAVE ME DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN WITHOUT ANY ASSURANCES THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND I WAS ALSO FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAD BEEN CLOSE TO A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I FEEL LIKE MY CLAIM IS BEING HANDLED IN A VERY LEISURELY, RUN-OF-THE-MILL MANNER AKIN TO CHANGING A FLAT TIRE OR A DENTED BUMPER. BUT A CAR SPONTANEOUSLY CATCHING FIRE IS ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL. PLAZA MOTORS AND STATE FARM'S CASUAL NATURE IS DISCONCERTING TO SAY THE LEAST. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR EVER AGAIN. I DON'T FEEL LIKE BMW IS TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CATCH SPONTANE

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO MY CAR 2009 335D PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2009 FROM MOMENTUM BMW IN HOUSTON, TX. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE PRIMARILY FOR ITS ADVERTISED FUEL ECONOMY OF CITY/HWY 23/36 COMBINED WITH SUPERB PERFORMANCE. I PRIMARILY USE THIS CAR FROM HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM SAN ANTONIO TO HOUSTON, APPROX. 150 MILES EACH WAY. I GO TO HOUSTON TWICE A MONTH TO VISIT MY TWO SONS WHO ARE DOCTORS. I HAVE PUT ON AN AVERAGE OF 10,000 MILES PER YEAR, AND TODAY HAVE APPROX. 40,000 MILES. I ALSO PURCHASED BMW EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 7 YRS./70K MILES. BEFORE ALL THE MAJOR SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE UPDATES, I USED TO ROUTINELY GET AROUND 36-38 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND SINCE ALMOST 1 YEAR OR MORE, I AVERAGE LIKE 28-30 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS DROPPED BY MORE THAN 6-8 MPG BEFORE THESE UPDATES FOR BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY MPG. BEING AN ENGINEER BY TRAINING, THIS IS A STATISTICAL AVERAGE FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE MENTIONED MANY TIMES SINCE 2012 TO PRESENT TO THE BMW DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO THAT MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS SUFFERED SUBSTANTIALLY. I ALSO HAD THE SHOP FOREMAN AT BMW DEALERSHIP VERIFY BY TEST DRIVING FOR ALMOST 40 MINUTES EACH WAY ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT THE MAX. I GOT WAS 30.6MPG WITH AVERAGE SPEED OF 65MPH. FROM DAY ONE, I HAVE ONLY PUT EITHER SHELL OR CHEVRON DIESEL FUEL IN THIS CAR. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE BMW OF SAN ANTONIO. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I NO LONGER CAN GET THIS FUEL ECONOMY AND BMW DEALER HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR EFFORTS IN FIXING THIS ISSUE BUT COULD NOT RESOLVE IT. I NE
