2007 BMW 3 Series airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 35 of 35, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I've owned a 2000 and 2007 bmw 3 series and a 2010 x6 all with airbag recalls but I don't own any of these vehicles anymore. As a matter of fact I hit a curb and my drivers airbag broke my facial bones with just hitting a curb and was totaled out. Would I qualify for compensation through this large recall? And what info would I need?
"takata recall" this vehicle is 10 years old. Where is the new air bag? How much time is reasonable?
Takata recall. Bmw of north america and niello bmw (local sacramento dealer) refuse to respond to my communications as to when my car will be fixed. I received a recall notice approximately one year ago.
This is still not resolve and I am looking coolant and there is not answer other than to replace. It costing me to much to keep reviewing this issue , I think it should be done for free
Many months ago a recall was issued for 2007 bmw 3281i cars. Nothing happened. This spring (2016) I contacted the dealer, who said it had heard nothing from bmw. Is the federal safety agency monitoring bmw? If not, why not? It's not beyond the realm for both parties to hope that the issue will be forgotten about and it will go away. My dealer is bmw of fairfax, virginia. Both dealer and distributor need to be told to move forward with the recall.
Takata recall: a safety recall notice from bmw was issued in march of 2016. As of october 11th, 2016, bmw north america llc. Still can not provide an estimated time of repair or replacement. They have not remedied the situation at all and will not offer alternative methods to help customers with the potentially death causing airbag explosions. Bmw north america llc is acting in bad faith, allowing and instructing their customers to continue driving their vehicles while being aware that they could cause death to the driver. (source - phone call with recall campaign escalation manager for bmw north america)
Takata recall we received notification of need for installation of new airbags in march 2016. We went into dealer 2x but no parts are available. It is six months later, and still we have received no notification that replacement for faulty airbag is available. This could result in fatal consequences, the official notice from bmw stated. The delay is dangerous and unconscionable.
I have phoned towson bmw on at least 2 occasions and requested the recall repair, but they state that I will have to wait for them to call me about it. This is a dangerous condition and should be fixed asap!
Passenger seat detection mat not working. Seat has been relatively empty fpr years faulty product.. Dangerous for a passenger when I have one. Air bag may not go off in an accident due to the faulty mat detection I feel bmw should be held accountable for this. They say my car is not covered due to they only cover certain VIN's for that year..
Passenger seat mat sensor has gone bad. This is the same type of recall as the takata recall but bmw says that this car isn't covered for that recall. Recall cost over $1000.00 to repair for a airbag safety issue. Seems to extremely common in bmw's. Took car to bmw dealership and they confirmed the issue with the car. Spoke to bmwusa directly and they won't cover repair.
Front passenger seat occupant detection mat. My 2007 bmw 328xi airbag light came on so I took it to the dealer and they told me there was a recall on my model car from 2006 up, but that my VIN# is not part of that recall even though all symptom and issue was the same. I think this should be included as the sensor mat is the same issue as noted in this recall us the federal safety agency campaign id:13v564000
Passenger air bag warning light and seat beat warning light randomly turns on but it happens most frequently when someone is sitting in the passenger seat.
The front seat occupant protection mat in the 2007 bmw 328xi is displayed on my dash instrumentation for over a year.in the event of a crash the front passenger air bag could be deactivated resulting in personal injury. I looked up the recalls on this vehicle and it indicated that the model was recalled. I called bmw customer relations to inquire about the recall and the representative informed me that my vehicle VIN number was not part of the recall. I understand that numerous bmw owners have made a similar complaint about their vehicle and recalls are usually initiated in this manner. Regardless of the production time that my vehicle was made, my vehicle has the same defect as the other vehicles and should be replaced by bmw.
There is message on the screen saying fault in restraint system. Dealer wants me to pay for the diagnostics. I think these cars should be recalled for this issue.
Supplemental restraint systems (SRS) front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor (oc3) mat faulty. Very dangerous! Passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident! Bmw should recall this!
A light on my dashboard came up saying that my passenger airbag was not functioning correctly.
The air bag and seat belt lights have been on for about a year now. There is a safety recall listing my vehicle make, model and year. I have contacted bmwusa and a local bmw dealership with both claiming my vehicle is not included in the recall. However, my vehicle make, model, year and vehicle production date is specifically listed in the recall notice listed on the federal safety agency website. I don't understand why it is listed or why bmw is not assisting further.
Fault code "passenger restraint system malfunction" appears on the vehicle. No accident the code is faulty. Code could affect the passenger if vehicle was involved in collision.
Passenger restraint malfunction, airbags disabled. Front passenger seat mat failure.
After cleaning my car I tried to start it, when suddenly a warning light popped up indicating that there was a passenger restraint malfunction. The warning, further indicated that all seat belt be worn immediately when driving. I took it to the bmw dealership only to find out after paying for diagnosis fee, that there was an internal fault in the rollover protection controller thereby affecting the deployment of airbags in case of a crash.the dealership told me this safety feature for convertibles wasn't under dealership warranty. This a safety issue and should be addressed as such, I would think.
I got in my car after driving it to the park & got a fault that said restraint system malfunction. Fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt- force limiter. I researched this & found that it is a problem with the sensor in the passenger seat mat. I found that this is a recall on my car & year, but when I call, they say it doesn't apply to my VIN. This has been a huge problem with a ton of owners. I've also read that most of the people call & complain & they'll end up fixing it under the recall. But, I'm having no luck. I'd understand if it was just me, but they've recalled it on the sane exact car & year as mine & I don't understand why mine wouldn't fall under this recall!
Have had issue with my one of my 2 --- 2007 330i's dashboard light came on with a message "pass restraint system malfunction". A detailed message says "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter took it to the dealer and they said I need a new passenger seat air bag sensor with a replacement cost of over $1000,00. I recently learned bmw has had a problem with this part and has recalled 2006-2007 cars but any vehicle made after september 2006 is not on the recall list. Mine were manufactured jan 2007. I've been informed that my vehicle has the same part as the recalled ones and believe that bmw should recall all their vehicles with this same passenger seat sensor problem.
I own a bmw 3 series 2007 that I purchased 3 years ago with a dealer. Six weeks ago a dash board light came on with a message "pass restraint system malfunction". A detailed message says "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear the safety belt. Have the system checked by the nearest bmw center". I have searched this online and it seems bmw 3 and 5 series cards manufactured in 2003 - 2008 have this issue. It is a safety related issue that bmw should recall and fix immediately.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 bmw 328xi. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the contact crashed into a telephone pole due to inclement weather and icy conditions. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. She asked the manufacturer at what speed the air bags should have deployed; however, they stated that it was an issue for the legal department. At that time, the vehicle was being investigated by a mechanic. The current and failure mileages were approximately 19,000.
