Takada recall. My car's make cracking noise or groaned noises as some other e60 owners described. The noises sounded as the car start rolling at low speed whether go straight or turn a little to left or right. It's happened every time. The airbag light come on during drive and it is off when I shut off the engine. The next time I start the car is still remain stayed on, and it's goes off during drive. The steering wheel seems not firm unlike e39 is more firm. I found a forum where the e60 owners had similar problem and the dealer solved the problems I mentioned above by just replace the takata airbag and maybe an update of software involved. In conclusion to my complaint regarding takada airbag the bmw should open a recall for my car or add my car to the recall list as it's not safe for me and my family. Please help, thank you.

What owners say
My passenger side air bag light and seat belt light are both on at all times. The on board computer says fault in passenger side seat belt or seat belt tensioner. Also the back brakes don't work at all but the front ones do. Was wondering if this was a recall matter before I spend thousands to fix the problem
Airbag light is on. I am very sure that it is the floor mat pressure sensors for the airbag system.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and replaced the sensor, but the failure recurred after two weeks.

Not too long ago I had my car parked on a street on a sunny day. I got in the vehicle and started it and received a message on my idrive saying that there is a passenger restraint system malfunction and a airbag light along with the seatbelt light lit up on the dash. Dealer says that there is no recall for this issue yet online I've read that my model does in fact have a recall for this issue.

As soon as I started the car, the passenger seat belt restraint and airbag light showed up as a malfunction. After doing some research I notice that bmw had a recall on a seat mat sensor on 200,000 5 series. I also did some research and notice that there is a great amount of people with this same problem. This is a major concern because the seat mat sensor is bad the passenger airbag will not deploy if I get into a car accident.
I bought my 2005 bmw 545i after a week my seatbelt and and airbag lights will not go out, even with seatbelt locked in, is there a recall so I can get this fix and feel safe when driving my car.

I purchase this vehicle on 2012, three days after the purchase, I come back to the dealership, because "air bag light its on", two days later when I pick up my car, air bags lights still on, the mechanic said its a sensor. A year later bring the car to another mechanic, who said its "no air bag connected" which scared me because me and my entire family are on risk, what happened if we crash? Where its the air bags? They was deployed before in a car accident with a previous owner, but dealership don't tell me nothing about this, they sold me the cars said "its not car accident involved". Now I try to they take his car and pay me back what I pay or just give me another car, but its difficult to talk to this people. I feel as victim of "fraud" if I have the knowledge that this car had a accident before, I don't take this vehicle. Have to be a responsible for this outlaw action. The dealership name its "florida fine cars" located on "21151 nw 2nd avenue- miami gardens, fl 33169." phone "(305) 384-6400. I just need justice in this case please, help me please.
