• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake for about a minute when the car suddenly accelerated and lunged forward.I applied more pressure to the brake,all the way to the floor , but the car would not stop. The car in front of me is the only thing that stopped the car ,as he was stopped too. The car then bounced backward and turned off by itself. I was on a main street at a light. It was fortunate that another car was stopped in front of me because it stopped the car and prevented my car from hitting pedestrians.

Acceleration issues. I complained to bmw about the issue november 2018 for my 2018 bmw. However, bmw said there wasn't a problem. On sunday at around 6:28 pm i was pulling into a parking space at my chase bank and the car suddenly starts accelerating causing me to have a head on collision with a parked car. My 2015 bmw had the same problem. I was in ralph's parking lot in beverly hills about to pull out when suddenly my bmw accelerated, and i nearly killed two people. When i bought it in for service bmw repaired the problem. Something was calibrated to high.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 bmw 320i. The contact stated that rodents were found eating the wires in the engine compartment. The contact stated that the driver side speakers were emitting a loud noise. The vehicle was taken to paul miller bmw (1515 nj-23, wayne, nj 07470) where no failure was diagnosed however, the speaker and wires were replaced. The contact stated that the failure recurred as wires were found chewed in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer whom informed him that chipmunks were entering the vehicle through the ventilation system. The contact stated that there was no grill on the front of the vehicle which was allowing the rodents in the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by the dealer that the failure was not covered under warranty. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.

Ince december of 2019 i have had continuous problems with my car and my iphone. I have responsibly gone to dealership far too many times to have this repaired. Calls have dropped while i'm on the phone with clients who are emotionally fragile. (i am a therapist ). The calls continually dropped and after looking at the issue the service dept dealership told me it was my phone. I went to apple and got a brand new telephone and the issue happened again. So clearly it wasn't my phone. They replaced some parts but i haven't driven my car due to covid. I got in the car to find my music from my telephone no longer plays through the stereo as it did prior. Bmw has admitted to me they have an electrical issues with the 2018 bmw and comparability of the iphone. The dealership had a responsibility to disclose this when i leased the car the omitted this important information that would cause me to pause in leasing it as its imperative to my job and business to be able to talk and recur very calls from clients. I tried to resolve this with bmw corp and they offered no monitory or any resolution for my unreasonable number of trips to the dealership, for inconveniencing mentally fragile people and my time. They also did not disclose this information they clearly are aware of when i leased the vehicle.

This car doesn't have a way for drivers to put the gear in neutral if the electrical panel and the engine is dead. I was in the flooded area in the middle of the road and felt scared when big trucks passed me side by side. Even the sheriff who helped me couldn't find it in the owners manual. I have a 12 months old grandson and i don't feel safe driving this car.
