2007 BMW 328I airbags complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor (oc3) mat has failed in my car. Bmw extended the warranty on the e90 sedan and e91 wagon version of the 2007 328i but not the e93 convertible (which I have) the seat components are identical on all 3 model versions of that year. Why is the safety of e93 passengers less important than the passengers in the e90 and e91 when they share the same sensor? Repair cost is $1,200 for a sensor bmw knows will fail. I want the 2007 e93 to be included in the extended warranty si b01 09 14
Passenger air bag sensor in the seat mat is defective causing the air bag to not read correctly the passenger weight and possibly deploying with a child in the seat. The light remains on at all times. There are recalls out for other bmw autos for this same reason 17v‑428 - this model and year wasn't included in the recall list but is also carrying a defective part.
"takata recall...I received a letter from bmw I would say summer of 18 stating that they are extending my warranty on my passenger air airbag and a month before that my airbag light highlighted on my dashboard I took it to my local bmw dealer and they said there was nothing wrong I would need to pay for the diagnostic I don't believe I should have to I have a letter stating it's extended and the light is on I'm afraid it will go off I need to get a letter from bmw to cover this please consider recalling the airbag sooner
I have done the most recent 3 recalls on my bmw, I noticed through kredit karma that it claims a fourth one for the detection mat on the passengers seat air bag system. I did mention this recall to bmw when I recently visited for the 3 most recent recalls, but they claimed it was not affected. The alert of the malfunction only shows when passenger is seated, it clears after turning off ignition, but once back in passenger seat, it malfunctions once again. I would just like some clarification on this if possible. Thank you.
Received original notice for recall. Called two different bmw dealers in georgia area. Both told me they would contact me once the part(s) came in. Followed up and waited over 6-8 months. Received another recall notice. Filed complaint
I have an airbag deployment issue. Commonly defined as a 93a8 - code by bmw. This causes the drivers side airbag to get deactivated due to an issue with the triggering circuit from the airbag. This is a chronic bmw problem, with multiple reports from the consumer for the same issue. (I've attached forum reports) I have a car, that cannot be driven as the drivers side airbag is completely deactivated indicating a fault in the circuit. Bmw is not taking responsibility and is indicating, I would have to bring the car in to pay for diagnostic fees and replacement of airbag module/harness & airbags. This is a big safety issue with a failing triggering circuit during general drive. Many consumers have reported on the same issue and this causes the airbag to not deploy during an accident
The airbag light is on in red. The airbag is on recall for the takata recall airbag. The steering wheel with a lock sign over it is illuminated in red. The car was stationary the light illuminated and the car would not start all systems were locked including the steering wheel. Bmw stated it will cost you $100 to put it on lift and an additional $100 for the diagnostic. I ended paying $100 for the diagnostic.

Takata recall hi my airbag lights keep coming on and off on the dash and above I got the recall notice and need it fixed
Takata recall - notice from takata states both airbags are defective, yet bmw only replaced my driver side bags even though my car dash is warning that my passenger side airbag is defective and or has a problem. Shouldn't both bags be replaced in recall. I'm a realtor and often carry passengers.
Takata recall: passenger side airbag defect. Message that comes on when engine first turned on and stationary, reads: "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting air bag, belt tension or belt force limiter. Continue to wear seat belt." however, this car not included in the recall when I check license number.

Vehicle has 2 incomplete recalls, no accidents I am reporting that I was never contacted
Takata recall the recall was issued feb 2016 and it is now may 2017 and bmw has yet resolved the issue with the recall. I live in sc and was one of the states concerted to be the gulf states. All I get from bmw is a run-around claiming they don't have parts. Is bmw dealing with the issue in a timely manner as I don't consider 14 months as to being timely. Even more so based off the mileage I put on my vehicle every week as I am not a standard commuter driving 10 miles to work. Thank you.

Takata recall. I received an important safety recall - final remedy available notice from bmw, recall campaign no. 16v‑071. It states: we are pleased to inform you that we have the necessary parts to complete this recall. Please contact your authorized bmw center immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free repair performed as soon as possible. So I called advantage bmw midtown in houston, tx, and all the lady could do is put my name on a call back list without a timeframe for a return call. When I complained that this was unacceptable, she put me in touch with a bmw customer relations rep. I explained to the lady at advantage bmw and bmw USA that the notice states: in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's air bag, excessive internal pressure could cause rupturing of the air bag inflator, resulting in metal fragments striking the driver or other passengers potentially resulting in serious injury or death. If you are not the only driver of this vechile, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information. All the bmw customer care rep could do is make sure that my name was on the call back list as well. I do not understand why bmw and it's authorized dealer can not schedule an appointment for the required repairs. Bmw's letter states that the parts are available and it is an important recall that if the air bag is deployed it can cause serious injury and/or death. What is going on with bmw and it's dealers? I do not understand why they do not take care of such an important recall immediately like the recall notice states. If bmw is the "ultimate driving machine"? Why doesn't bmw fix the vehicle that can cause serious injury and/or death? This is unacceptable!

Takata recall. After being notified by bmw that my car was being recalled for dangerous airbag deployments I have been terrified to drive my car or let my love ones ride as passengers. I have been denied use of my vehicle because of this very dangerous defect while waiting for the replacement airbags for years. I deserve compensation from bmw and takata as do all other owners who purchased their vehicles in good faith and have waited patiently for this horrible situation to be rectified.
Takata recall. I received recall no. 16v‑071 from bmw in march 2016. It has now been 13 months and bmw has not recalled the car and repaired the airbags. According to the federal safety agency "takata recall expansion: what consumers need to know", since I live in zone a and the car is older than 2011 the recall should have occurred by now. I'm filing a complaint against bmw for not recalling and repairing my 2007 bmw 328i as it leaves me and my passengers at risk.

Since I got this car my oil was leaking. I had to replace the val cover. I can't remember how much that cost me. My steering lock module was replaced and it cost me 1,181.07. I had my belt tensioner replaced because it was bent. It cost me $327.04. This was done 3/6/2015. A recall on SRS air bag. I still have the air bag warning light. Bmw recommended to replace of exhaust lifters and roller drag levers with updated unit to eliminate ticking noise at idle which will cost me 1,466.40. I need to replace alternator, belt, battery and the car won't start. I fixed the battery problem and as I was driving to work and parked the car would not start. My battery connection need to be replace. Common issue with all bmw. I will spend about 1,518.7 to fix the problem.
