2010 BMW 328I airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 43, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The passenger restraint system is malfunctioning, which may affect the airbag. It does not recognize that the passenger has their seat belt on. Red lights are flashing and it states that the passenger restraint system is malfunctioning. I feel that the manufacturer should provide repapirs for a safety system at no charge. Not sure if it is a bad sensor or what. This happens when the car is turned on and a passenger is seated with their seat belt on. Date below is approximate. I have not taken it into a bmw dealership yet because over the phone, they said it may cost about $1,400 to fix.
Seat sensor occupancy mat malfunction: why is bmw not voluntarily recalling or extending this widespread known issue bmws? This seems to be a common problem across many models of bmws, forums are filled with so many complaints. After market manufacturers have created modules to bypass this sensor, which apparently is going to cause hazardous condition for some of the owners. There's a constant display on the dashboard that says, "pass-restraint system malfunction". Apparently it's quite a common issue across many bmws and unfortunately bmw has not acknowledged it for all models and have done the recall for limited model between 2006 and 2007, 2008 was later added but my car was actually manufactured in 2009 so I believe this recall needs to be extended beyond 2008. On the forums, I saw and read owners of 2011 and 2012 also reporting this issue.

Occupancy mat in passenger seat failed, which results in lack of airbag function. Same part number (52 10 7 244 128) is part of voluntary recall (17v‑428) for 2006-2007 model year vehicles. I content the same issue extends into later years and should receive the same level of support from bmw. This is a common issue as exemplified by the bypass module sell rate on ebay (2380 sold on this item alone): https://www.ebay.com/itm/seat-mat-bypass-emulator-for-bmw-e90-e93e82e88e65e66x3z4-occupancy-airbag-sensor/160854844395 issue arises whenever passenger is in the vehicle - now unprotected.

Takata recall. It has taken forever for bmw to right this problem. In september I finally got a communication from bmw that the remedy was available, but it wasn't true. I called my dealer, and they said that they didn't have the parts. They said to call back last week. I did. Now I'm being told that they can't fix it until dec 13. This is ridiculous. I should at least be able to get a loaner since supposedly my car is unsafe, but none has been offered.
You've mandated a recall for these parts however the dealers are refusing to fix them by giving the customer the run-around stating the parts are not in stock and that they cannot get the part for months. On the contrary, the parent company bmw USA tells me directly that the parts are fully available and should only take 1-2 weeks to arrive when not in stock. People will die because the dealers are not taking on the responsibility mandated by the recall. I have all bmw dealers within 100 miles of my residence and they are reporting the same brush off.

The passenger side "seat mat switch" failed, disabling the SRS system. A local bmw dealership replaced the defective part charging me $1264.20. This vehicle was purchased new by me; was never involved in an accident; had accumulated 48116 miles on the odometer. Bmw refused to acknowledge responsibility; however this problem has been reported a number of times to bmw and it did acknowledge prior years' problem with this part and authorized warranty extensions for over 70,000 vehicles.
Takata recall by bmw notification. That drivers airbag could explode in thew event of a crash. Letter dated march 2016, but up to today's date february 13, 2017 still no parts . Vehicle remains unrepaired .
While bmw has issued a recall for the parts, they seem to be playing games with me and not getting any work done regarding the part in question needed for the airbags. I was told by my local bmw south motors that the part needed to be ordered from bmw north america. Then I found out the part had to come in from germany, which for a recall of such grandeur, I find strange the part has to be imported. Anyway, it has been close to 3 months that I am in this ordeal with no solution done and nothing done to my airbags, thereby risking my safety all because bmw north america does not want to disclose any details of their doings. They told me the part was sent, but south motors hasn't received the part. While I believe south motors, I do not believe bmw n.a is being honest. They refused to disclose any details such as tracking information or anything relevant to this investigation. They also have refused to cooperate with south motors or myself to get the problem resolved. They have not acknowledged the product may have been lost in transit for all we know...because they refuse to disclose any information. My life and safety are on the line each time I get into my car and if bmw is going to play cat and mouse with consumers the way it's doing then I think they need to be chastised for this. Since they will not listen to me and have refused to help me out in any way, I am forced to turn to this agency for help. I look forward to getting answers, an admission of fault and apology from bmw, as well as most importantly, the correct part, brand new, sent to south motors bmw, to be promptly replaced so that my airbags are in working order and safe for myself and fellow motorists. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Six months after the recall was announced advising me of the potential for serious death or injury as a result of airbag inflator rupturing. I have received no additional notification, and feel that 6 months is in excess of a reasonable amount of time.
Takata recall with bmw 328i I was sent a notice by bmw in feb. 2016 about the recall and that the parts to repair it were not available yet. It's been 6 months. There has to be a remedy to fix this problem before an accident occurs. The potential harm from this is "serious injury or death." this is not something that should take 6 months to repair.
