2009 BMW 328I seat belts complaints

Filed Mar 9, 2017 · Airbags, Seat belts · FL

I see there was a previous recall for earlier models involving the seat occupancy sensor mats cracking. My 2009 bmw 328i convertible car now has the warning airbag and seatbelt light on if anyone is in the passenger seat. This occurs whether or not I am driving or not. I had my car scanned and the error code is 93c3 passenger seat occupancy detector. I am now concerned if airbag and seatbelt will work in case of collision

While making a left turn, to proceed up the street leaving work, several malfunction lights displayed on the dash and than my car shuts down completely; no inside nor outside lights (it was dark outside), no dings or anything. I thought maybe I needed a jump. Called a co-worker before he left work, whom also has a bmw. He said it was not a jump I needed and proceeded to go in the trunk to locate my battery. As soon as he was able to remove the plastic screws and wiggle the panel, trying to get it from under the wall panels that was holding it in place, all my lights came back on. However, a restraint system malfunction light remained on the dash. Thank god I was driving at a low speed and on a residential street, no cars around me nor had I made it to the hwy to head home, some 30 minute ride. I don't want to think of what could have happened! The restraint system malfunction is said to have something to do with the passenger side and the airbag. I feel I am driving in a very unsafe high costing vehicle, and either way, I, my passenger or someone else could seriously get hurt with this car on the road with these issues.

The warning light for not wearing the seat belt has stopped working for the front passenger seat. When the passenger is not wearing the seat belt the warning light no longer comes on and the warning sound no longer happens.
