I took my vehicle to henderson bmw in nevada regarding the takata airbag recall. They put an airbag in my vehicle that is not compatible with my sensors. Knowingly and deceitfully, they placed this airbag in my vehicle. Then, the airbag light came on and when I called, they said if its a sensor problem, we are not liable but if there is something wrong with the airbag we installed, then we will replace. There was no airbag light on when I took my vehicle in for the recall. I took my car back to henderson bmw in nevada so that they could correct the problem and the light issue. They charged me $170 (I disputed this charge) to tell me it is a sensor problem, which they knew before they even installed this airbag. They now want me to pay 1200 to correct this sensor problem that they created in my vehicle, knowingly. They will not take responsibility for the damage they knowingly caused my vehicle. Further, before this recall, at least I had a decent chance in an accident. Now, they r risking my life and the lives of my passengers because with the airbag light on in the vehicle, the airbags will not deploy in the event of a collision. So, all the time I spent :(20 hours); the miles I spent (600 miles) the money I spent on gas (80); further, I am disabled and had to have someone take me to henderson, twice and now they have chosen their side, against the consumers who purchase their products and I have a problem that they are responsible for; however, they will not step up to the plate.

Drove over a small pothole on a street, and the side and curtain airbags prematurely deployed on the passenger side. I had to order a new side airbag. I am still unable to order a curtain airbag. This is a big safety concern, as the airbags could have injured my passenger. The car has no body damage, and drives perfectly. I have a airbag signal on the dash.

Bmw has recalled some models and years in north america to fix a possible defect that may keep the front passenger airbag from opening in a crash. However, they have not recalled my 2001 325 I. , ( ) my warning light is on and they can not guarantee that the passenger airbag will deploy. I have made repeated attempts to request a guarantee that the passenger airbag will deploy in a crash regardless if there is a passenger or not. I would just like some type of guarantee that the airbag will deploy in all cases. The current recall concerns the front passenger airbag seat sensor mat in certain 2004-2006 model year vehicles. Since I have a 2001, they are not responding to me. This is a serious safety issue and I do not have 700 or 800 dollars to just replace a mat without a guarantee that the airbag itself is functioning. My first attempt to notify bmw was in june of 2008. I bought the car from competition bmw in june of 2001at 599 east jericho turnpike smithtown new york 11787. I have serviced my vehicle there for the last 8 years. I am very disgusted that the dealer has just ignored my concerns. My son will be driving this car shortly and he will be transporting other students in a carpool to school. He attends st. Anthony's high school in huntington and it is a 25 mile drive each way to school. Please let me know how I should approach the dealer or bmw to fix this safely issue for me. I have been a loyal customer for years now. I have always used the same dealer for service over the years I have the car. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this issue.
I just read that your agency have asked bmw to recall 2006 3 series for a defect in the passenger side airbag sensor. I currently have a 2001, bmw 325i. And my passenger side airbag sensor is not working, and last year was repaired by the dealer. This latest occurrence happened after my 12 year old nephew moved the seat. The sensor warning light is on in the dashboard.
