2007 BMW 328I seat belts problems

Filed May 15, 2024 · Airbags, Seat belts · NY

Front Seat Passenger Side Seatbelt warning indicator activates when no person is in passenger seat. Airbag warning light illuminates even when there is a passenger in the seat. I see numerous complaints about the same/similar issues in your data base, but seemingly no resolution or recall. My car is a convertible. I note from other complaints on your website that a related recall was initiated for my year make model but it did not apply to convertible version of this model. That is irresponsible and unacceptable.

Left work at 4:30pm on 01/06/2016, as we turned out of parking lot my 2007 bmw 328i just died in mid traffic. This occurence happened twice before but stalled multiple time on way back home. On the 6th of jan, the car began to overheat and burning of battery smell. Car was towed as id codes were checked and all signs have pointed to system failure. Upon further review, 6 open recalls was researched using multiple VIN report sites paid and free including bmwusa.com/safety recall. We were then told to contact the bmw consumer and we were told that if there is no warranty due to past milage, recalls were not obligated by bmw consumer. I have already contacted fabbrini law office here in chicago regarding our federal rights in being in a safe car. How many links do we need to post in which stalling and electrical problems have been noted on bmws own company website. We simply ask that bmw consumer llc listen to this complaint like the many others who are being put in unsafe vehicles and we ask that you apply your three prong rule regarding safety hazards such as these that warrant a refund with deappreciation added, replacement of vehicle or simply repair the recalls that have been noted in the last decade affecting more than millions who are loyal to your product. We intially had a 2005 bmw 325i that had recalls and we were not helped then and traded vehicles for yet another bmw with the hopes of better luck.

Passenger seat sensor failed (code 93c3), disabling potential airbag deployment. Apparently this particular VIN is not included in the current recall for this vehicle. Please expand this recall. Bmw has refused to fix the problem under the recall, so we paid nearly $1,200 to replace the faulty oc3 mat.

Warning light came on so we took the care to a technician who found the following fault code: "-93c3 seat occupancy detector, passenger, currently present, 95x0". This failure seems to be extremely common with this vehicle. When I contacted bmw customer relations, they stated: "thank you for contacting bmw of north america, llc regarding our amended voluntary recall announcement for the front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat for certain 2006-2007 models depending upon seat type. Included 3 series are 2006-2007 3 series sedans with sports seats that were produced between december 2005 ' september 2006. Recalls are specific to a vehicle's identification number (VIN) based on the above criteria, and does not have this recall. I suggest continuing to work with the service team at your authorized bmw center to review any concerns you may have with your vehicle." can you please investigate this and consider more vehicles for this recall? Also, please let me know if I have any recourse for reimbursement if I go ahead and have the vehicle repaired at my own cost. Thank you!

Bmw recall dated 11/12/2013, the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v564000. Recall up to 76,565 units for failures of front seat occupant protection mat. Air bag will not deploy in the event of an accident. Contacted bmw and told my VIN does not fall into bmw range but I've been experiencing the exact failure since purchasing the vehicle used in 10/2013. Bmw has likely not identified the true VIN range of vehicles impacted by defective occupancy mats and refuses to pay for replacement.
