I received a notice stating that a final remedy was available for recall campaign no. 16v‑071. I called the bmw sahara las vegas dealership and they said that the parts were not available and to check back in 3 months. I then called bmq hq who told me that I should check back in 6 months. I don't understand, how could the "final remedy be available" if it's not available for 6 months or longer?
My car is optioned with power, sport seats and currently has 126,969 miles. For over the last 2k miles the airbag light has come on and stayed on while driving. This indicates to me that my airbags will no longer function in the event of a crash. There are open recalls for this make, model, and year of bmw yet interestingly enough, my car and many others that exhibit this similar issue remain excluded from the recall. I have contacted bmw and they say I would have to pay for any diagnosis and repair. My car was never in a crash and the airbags have never been deployed. There are many points of failure in any car along with bmws that I expect and have no problem paying for. Safety issues relating to faulty airbags, modules, or their wiring is one that bmw should always cover. I find bmw's response completely unacceptable and I request an investigation be started on behalf of the many bmw drivers with a similar vehicle and faulty airbags as mine who brave the roads daily confident in their vehicle's ability to protect them. Thank you.
Despite the federal safety agency (natsa) recall campaign number: 08v‑384 and pe14-016 regarding a dangerous airbag frontal issue on bmw/3 series/2006, I was refused to have this dangerous safety item parts fixed/replaced by bmw of san antonio with a reason 'issue is caused by a humid/moisture condition'. This recall the federal safety agency engineering's analysis, ea08-001 concluded a defect, and yet, I was given a response that a moisturize condition had affected it and hence, bmw of san antonio would not get reimbursed by bmw so they will not service this safety issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 325i. While driving at any speed with a passenger in the front seat, the air bag indicator illuminated, chimed, and "the passenger air bag is off" warning message appeared. The failure recurred.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 325i. The contact received a recall notification for the air bags. The dealer reported that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available.

The front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat has failed and giving an air bag and seat belt warning lamp on the instrument cluster along with pass air bag off light continuously on. Bmw claims that my vehicle had a limited warranty extension for 10 years from build date, but I did not receive any such notification although I am the original owner and also lived at the same address. Bmw will not approve a warranty repair as they said the 10 year period expired in 2015. The failure of this sensor could cause the air bags to not deploy in the event of a front end crash.

Air bag seat sensor failure. I would like to add my entry to the long list of bmw 325 owners that should have been covered by the front seat occupant protection mat defect recall (see the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v564000), but apparently are not. According to bmw, my car was made a month before I.e. Nov 2005, the recall date parameters, which stared in dec 2005. This involves a faulty passenger occupancy sensor malfunction that disables the airbags in 2006 e90 bmw 3 series sedan. Bmw recalled previous years sensors but has not fixed the issue in later models. There are plenty of folks affected by this: see http://www.carcomplaints.com/bmw/325/2006/accessories-interior/seats.shtml ntsb, please address this asap! And thanks!

Airbag light came on with passenger in the seat while going over a bump. This is due to a defective passenger seat occupancy sensor, which was the subject of a recall for other cars of the same model year, however my car's VIN was not included in the recall.
Passenger restraint system malfunction. My VIN was not included in the recall but error is showing. According to tbe the federal safety agency data base under vehicle description (make model and year) theres an open recall for my model.
Pass. Restraint system fault message. Few days went by with this fault message coming on and off. Now its currently staying on. After searching on the web, I've found many other bmw owners with the same issue, but only a few models are covered under recall (08v384000). After search my (VIN) show no current recalls. Recall (08v384000) states 2006 year 3-series. How can this only be limited to some 2006 ,but not others with the same problems? Vehicle has around 86k miles. Thanks

Vehicles airbag sensor goes off and on while passenger is sitting in the seat when driving and while parked. This is not safe at all as the airbag turns off when there is a passenger in the seat. This has been an on going issue and it is not safe at all.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 bmw 325i. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v318000 (air bags); however, the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. The contact was placed on a waiting list six months ago. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall. The passenger seat's airbag/weight sensor on our 2006 325i has gone out repeatedly (we're on the 4th or 5th replacement.) it happens when the car is in motion and then the sensor light comes on to alert us that something is wrong and stays on until it's replaced. However, it usually goes out again within 18 months or so. I am usually sitting in the seat when this happens which is very unsafe. I can't remember the exact date of the first malfunction, but we hadn't owned the car very long; it was still under warranty. We have the sports seats which from my reading seem to be part of the problem. I would like to make sure that our car was not overlooked in the recalls. It never stays fixed for long and I don't want to find out that it should have been recalled when I'm lying in a hospital bed, or worse. Seems like more than a coincidence...
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 325i.

The passenger seatbelt/airbag warning light was on and off from time to time after around four years of my purchase in 2005. The problem might have existed earlier; however, as my vehicle usually did not carry any passengers, I did not notice the problem within the warranty period. Recently, the light would not even go away. My mechanic informed me about the recall number 13v564000, stating the "owners of model year 2006-2007 3 series with standard seat ... Will receive an extended warranty on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat." I have contact bmw, but they said the recall and the extended warranty would not be applicable to my vehicle.
