Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 330i. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.
Air bag and seat belt warning lights (red) came on indicating restraint systemn failure. Batter changed three months ago. Car taken in to shop and system "reset" thinking it was due to the battery being replaced. Both air bag and seat belt warning lights have come back on. My mechanic told me there had been a recall for this problem and suggested I contact dealer. Called bmw of monrovia, ca and was informed that my vehicle id number was not listed for the recall. Since there have been so many complaints listed, should bmw issue a recall before someone is killed and not after a death as usually happens?
Passenger seat airbags are disabled due to restraint detection malfunction. A message appears upon turning on the vehicle which states that due to restraint system detection fault, passenger airbags and restraint system will be turned off. Problem started as an intermittent issue and developed into a continual one. Happened for the first time in april 2014 and has continued to worsen. Car is equipped with bmw oem sport seats. This issue appears to be in line with recall from the federal safety agency campaign number 13v‑564. However, bmw does not recognize my VIN as being a part of this recall.
My passenger side air bag sensor mat has failed. This is the second time this has happened on this vehicle. Other models of the 2006 bmw 3 series are included in a passenger air bag sensor recall. I feel my vehicle has been wrongly left out of the recall.
On 7/12/14 the airbag came on for the front passenger seat and turn off the airbag safety for this seat and really believed it's a problem withe mat airbag sensor in that seat but I didn't receive any recall letters from you my car still with this problem that put my family on risk if I have an accident.
About june 1, 2011, my 2006 bmw 330i (sport seats) had a red airbag light illuminate. I took the car to the local bmw dealership and was told it would cost me a couple hundred dollars to diagnose the problem. The service manager asked if I recently changed batteries and I said that I did. He said sometimes the airbag light comes on if the battery wasn't installed properly. In 2014, I did some research and found that bmw knew of a problem with airbags in their 2006 330i vehicles- especially those with sport seats. The report I read stated that there would be a voluntary recall by the end of 2014. I contacted bmw and they confirmed, by email, there would be a recall for specific 2006 330i vehicles with sport seats. Upon checking a recall website, my vehicle was not included in the recall despite the fact that my vehicle suffers from the problem that initiated the recall. Bmw knows they have a problem with airbags in certain vehicles, they should be required to recall all of them.

Recall campaign no. 13v‑564. I have one of the affected cars on this recall notice. I have contacted bmw of north america and the local dealer two times each and have been told "when the parts are available I will be notified". The recall letter is dated may 2014. It is now jan 2015. This is a safety issue I believe that should be handled with more urgency.
I had a full sized adult passenger in the front seat. While driving the airbag light went off as well as the " passenger airbag off" light and seat belt light. The passenger was heavy enough for airbag deployment. After the passenger got out of the vehicle the light stayed on for about 15 minutes before turning off randomly. Before this incident the light would come on briefly by itself with no one in the seat but this is the first time it really acted up. I checked the VIN to see if it had any recalls and it showed 0. I checked online for recalls in general and did see one for this issue same model and year but standard seats now I have the upgraded seats but the issue is still the same. This recall should be for all seat types if the issue is present! I can't believe this isn't a more concerning matter, these our suppose to be life safety devices! I don't feel safe!
Passenger side airbags are deactivated. I am receiving through the idrive computer the following message "system restraint malfunction", also the passenger air bag light is always on the instruments cluster. I found out that there are several complaints, and an existing recall about this same issue but I was told at my bmw dealer that my VIN number was not included. I am having the same exact issue that others have complained about and it is a serious safety issue that bmw should address accordingly. Once again, even though my vehicle make, model and year follow the criteria of the existing recall, my VIN number was not included.
Had a warning light that there was a problem with the airbag system. I took it to momentum bmw in west houston and they replaced the front passenger airbag mat for a cost of $1,199. I researched the internet and discovered a the federal safety agency 13v564000 campaign. I called bmw customer service (800‑525‑7417) and gave them my VIN #. They said due to problems that had occurred with passenger airbags on this model, the warranty had been extended to 10 years under this 13v564000 campaign which started in january 2014. Momentum bmw said they fixed the problem in october 2009 and that the warranty had expired. I think the current problem doesn't relate to what momentum fixed in october 2009, or that the parts that were used were also faulty or defective. I would like bmw to pay for my cost to fix this problem.

Error message "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. There was a recall on this for models up to 2005, and selectively for 2006, per bmw.
I was driving my 2006 bmw 330i with my wife in front passenger seat and the passenger air bag is off light came on. The car was on a straight road and the speed was at 45 MPH. Called bmw but they told me my vehicle was not part of the recall. And was told to take my bmw to the dealership at my expense. Safety recalls should be the responsibility of the manufacturer. This worries me because my wife drives a 2006 bmw z4. I think this recall should be expanded to more vehicles. Please investigate.

Front passenger seat has a faulty seat mat sensor which causes the airbag to be disengaged. The fault has been verified by a mechanic and there is a recall notice for the same year/model of car but it is not specific to my VIN number. Bmw USA and dealer have been notified but will provide no assistance in repairing the defect without normal compensation unless the VIN numbers are extended. Clearly this is an issue on other vins within the same manufacturing models and years of my car based on the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v564000 recall notice.

The airbag log is constantly on even if no passenger is sitting in the seat. This appears to be a defect in the sensor. However bmw lists other models but not the 330i with this VIN number. This is a serious safety issue. This needs to be recalled for all bmws. With so many complaints on the internet bmw needs to fix this problem.
I found vehicle recall via internet and consumer reports. I took my car to bmw of fairfax and explained that my bmw 330i 2006 had a defective front seat air bag sensor with dashboard warning light. After they examined the sensor they confirmed that I needed to replace the airbag sensor but that my vehicle was not affected by the recall. I was charged $150 dollars for the diagnosis and told that to repair the defect would cost $ 1200.
My passenger side airbag light and seatbelt light stay on. I own a 2006 bmw 330i sport. I have found numerous notices that the front seat occupant protection mat fails for my make/model with the same symptoms that I am receiving. I have contacted bmw 3 times over the past year with each new addendum and they have told me each time my car doesn't apply. I shouldn't have to pay over $1000 for a recalled item and need this fixed in case any accident does occur needing this part to be effective.
