Started my 745i up for a quick trip to the store and received a restraint system failure light. After some research it seems that this has been a problem with the 7 series for some time and bmw has even issued a recall with a 10 year restriction. I cannot understand why my 2002 is not covered under this recall since bmw is aware that this has been a problem. Presently my car is unsafe to drive and the cost to repair by dealer is extremely high. Bmw needs to own up to all models with this problem since this is a serious safety issue.

Fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag belt tensioner or belt force limiter.

Filed Sep 14, 2011 · Airbags, Seat belts · 81,000 miles · IL

Passenger safety systems fault / air bag / seat belt tensioner warning light has activated on my car. 2004 onwards models were recalled for this same issue. Can you please advise why all affected cars are not covered as this is clearly a model / year wide safety fault with the sensor mat or belt tensioner systems. Bmw are taking no responsibility and put the problem of recalls onto the federal safety agency. Please help as I do not want to transport my family in an unsafe vehicle and cannot afford the $1800 repair while certain owners are having this taken care of by bmw under the recall.

My vehicle is a 2002 bmw 745i that has an drive system and the latest warning note came up on the idrive screen that says, "fault in pass.-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Fasten and continue to wear belts. Please contact the nearest bmw center". My research indicates that there is a service bulletin that bmw initiated that covers this issue for a 10 year period.

I purchase a new 745i and after 10months of constant aggravation and fustration by the numerous failures of this car, I would like for bmw to do something about this. My car constantly keep having engine failure, recently bmw had to replace the cylinder heads (for a new car this is unacceptable). I would to return this car to bmw for a fair exchange.
