Takata recall. It's now been over a year since the recall and nobody has any idea when this will be fixed. This is unsafe and not right!
The air bags have been recalled due to them being unsafe and containing dangerous material that could send metal shards into the vehicle when the airbags deploy. We took the vehicle to the bmw dealer we bought it from and they said they could not fix the airbags and we had to just drive it regardless of the fact it was dangerous to do so. Bmw is liable for the issues in the vehicle but is not doing anything to fix it. Hence, I get to drive a dangerous vehicle around with no safety features because of their negligence.

Takata recall I have been calling bmw for information regarding this recall since march of 2016 yet every time I call they say that they are still waiting for the parts to arrive and it should be soon. This has been on going since march and it is now almost november. I am just concerned about driving my car knowing that my airbag may potentially throw metal sharp metal if I was to get in an accident. I think its unfair to have to drive my car not feeling safe. I really just wish they can get a remedy to this problem within a timely matter. They have been saying the same thing since march and it does not look like it will be solved any time soon.
Takata inflators are defective. I received a letter seven months ago from bmw in march 2016 informing me of a recall. I have received no further notice as to win these repairs will be taken care of. Bmw should have to compensate owners for their flawed and dangerous design. As this car is my only transportation I have no choice than to drive a vehicle with safety features that could actually increase my risk of serious injury or death. This warrants financial compensation from bmw. Also, the cruise control stopped working for absolutely no reason.

When the vehicle was involved in a frontal wreck coming into contact with a box truck at a dead stop from 55mph, the driver airbag deployed, becoming punctured and particles flying all over and cutting up my arm. This causing the airbag to be completely flat. Thank god for the working seat belt.
After receiving the airbag recall letter from bmw, I decided to call the near by dealership to schedule an appointment. I was told I will be contact by bmw once the parts are available for the repair. I asked for a timeline when should I expect a notification/email etc from bmw. He said mostly likely by the end of 2017 because there shortage on the parts and continue go say operate the vehicle as usual. He also indicated that there hasn't be a serious incident with bmw vehicles involving the airbag. It is unacceptable to have to wait until 2017 if not later for have the deadly defective part replaced. I am basically time bomb machine until one or two things 1. Fixed by 2017 or 2. Serious accident? Does anyone gotten a decent respond inquiring with your bmw dealership?

Passenger safety restraint system malfunctions, when a passenger is sitting in the passenger seat, the system malfunctions. This means the airbag will not deploy should there be a crash. This very issue is a cause of a recall by bmw for 2007 models, but early 2008 models are not currently covered despite this being a very common issue with this model.
"pass. Restraint passenger" error massage, appeared the first time, I replaced the seat belt tensioner, the error massage disappeared, then came back on about 5 months after. I have a convertible model.
I own a 2008 bmw 335i 4 door. There is a malfunction with front passenger air bag and sensor/control module. It was a recall issue that bmw notified this agency of on 12/11/13. The federal safety agency campaign # is 13v‑564. Components: air bags frontal seat sensor/control module. The problem is that according to the research done, bmw did not include my model year in the recall. They acknowledge it but did not formally issue the recall on my model year. Now the bmw service shop wants approximately $2800 to fix this issue that is their fault. They should repair the faulty equipment at no cost to me as the consumer. The mfr's report date: 11/8/13. I would like bmw of north america to correct the faulty equipment/components at no cost to me. The consequences are that the system will fail in the event of a crash, deactivating the front passenger air bags, increasing the risk of personal injury and even death. I was told the sensor communicates the weight of the passenger for the car to deploy the air bag at the correct speed and pressure, if the airbag does happen to work, but most likely will not due to the malfunction. This is unacceptable and the federal safety agency should enforce bmw to recall all models this issue impacts. Per the article: "in 2008, bmw recalled 200,000 vehicles due to a similar problem, but did not recall these vehicles at that time. Bmw said it did not recall the additional 77,000 vehicles recalled this week in 2008 because ?they had significantly lower warranty claim rates.? This is unacceptable!!
Bmw occupancy passenger airbag mat failure similar to recall on 2007 335i.
My 2008 bmw 335i has the same issue for which the below recall was issued. The recall needs to be extended to 2008 model year. Recall subject : front seat occupant protection mat report receipt date: nov 12, 2013 the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v564000 component(s): air bags potential number of units affected: 76,565 manufacturer: bmw of north america, llc summary: bmw of north america llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, model year 2007 328i, 328xi, 335i, 335xi sedans and 328i and 328xi sports wagons, model year 2006-2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i sedans and 530xi sports wagons, model year 2006 760i sedans, model year 2006-2007 750i, 750li, and 760li sedans, and model year 2006 x5 sports activity vehicles, equipped with certain seat types. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure. Consequence: should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury. Remedy: bmw will notify owners with an interim notification letter in january 2014 since parts are not currently available. When parts are available, anticipated to be in march 2014, bmw will send a second letter and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. Additionally, owners of model year 2006-2007 3 series with standard seats, 5 series with comfort seats, and z4 models, will receive an extended warranty on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat. Owners may contact bmw customer relations at 1‑800‑525‑7417 or email bmw at [email protected].
During normal driving conditions the airbag and seatbelt tensioner system fail lights came on. We drove home and the lights stayed on ever since. Tried resetting the computer system but lights remain on.
Fault in passenger restraint system error is being consistently displayed. Front passenger seat mat sensor was recalled for prior model years but not for 2008. This recall should be extended to 2008 model year. My VIN was not on recall list.
Vehicle is not allowed recall since VIN# does not apply however all things wrong with vehicle are exactly what can be found under recalls: the federal safety agency campaign id numbers 12e029000,09v257000, 09v257000. Bmw fairfax and bmw north america state recall cannot be processed because my VIN does not apply. It is bothersome to know that I am experiencing only these 3 problems that so happen to be the only errors and all 3 are on the recall list for my make, model, and year. Perhaps if more vehicles with my part numbers come forward then maybe bmw can own up and actually help current bmw owners with these malfunctions instead of forcing customers to pay out of pocket on known bmw recalls and malfunctions. The errors are enging and enging cooling: cooling system: fan, seat belts: front, and air bags:frontal. If you are having issues with bmw and them not budging on your malfunctions that hit the recalls please step forward because bmw needs to correct their malfunctions and not let us pay out of pocket on something put together improperly.
Fourth incident - on-board diagnostics indicate "malfunction passenger restraint system" in eleven months for same problem. Service yet to be scheduled with dealer. I know there was recall for same problem in 2006 for bmw 3-series. I think bmw is installing faulty seat mats.
Third incident - on-board diagnostics indicate "malfunction passenger restraint system" dealer claimed they fixed problem.
Second incident of on-board diagnostics indicate "malfunction passenger restraint system" dealer claimed they fixed problem.
On-board diagnostics indicate "malfunction passenger restraint system" dealer claimed they fixed problem.
