Due to the severity of the current safety recall i am reaching out for BMW to supply a correction/remedy for the starter issue. This issue is causing added anxiety and this being my only reliable transportation is troublesome. If they are unable to fix the issue I am asking that they buy the car back so people can get other vehicles that don't run the risk of spontaneously combusting.

This automobile is designed with a seatbelt assembly which has an arm which reaches out to bring your your seatbelt. See pix. It is made with plastic and glue and is amazingly flimsy. I cannot believe that BMW created such a "cute" but flimsy design. It cannot withstand being used hundreds of time when the seatbelt is used. It broke (see pix). Now a rigid arm with a jagged edge comes out at eye level. Someone is going to become seriously injured!!!! BMW claims that this resulted from mi

The seat belt retractor keeps breaking, dealer fixed it once, broke after two days, dealer did not want to fix again, arguing for over a year, finally they fixed it supposedly, it broke again in less than a week. Dealer refuses to fix the problem saying that they will not cover it, this is a safety issue which scares me as the seat belt does not work well.
