All electronics were not working and airbag lights were flashing as the vehicle broke down and shut off on the freeway with an 88 year old woman the bmw dealership sold this dangerous lemon of a car to.

Just had to paid over $900 dollars to have my fronts passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat replaced. I see that there was a recalled issued for these item on november 2013 recall campaign number 13v‑564. I was told by bmw of dallas that my VIN number was not part of the recall. I find it a an odd coincident that my vehicle air bag light was on and bmw technicians diagnose the problem as a faulty sensor mat but I'm told that my vehicle manufacture date does not fall within the dates the faulty mat was used. I think bmw should look into the possibility that more VIN numbers might have been affected by a faulty mat and more VIN numbers should be part of the recall.

My car has had the air bag light on several times and the dealer would just reset the light as the car was still in warranty, once the warranty expired they are telling me that there is a short and they need to replace the airbag and the detection mat. This issue was there on 2006 and 2007, 750i models and there was a recall the federal safety agency campaign id number: 13v564000. Now the dealer wants me to pay them $165 to look at the car and $1500 to fix the problem else risk the airbags not getting deployed in event of crash. I am sure this issue could have been fixed in warranty but was not on purpose. This issue is with this type of car and the federal safety agency should evaluate this model for this issue as there are much older cars which never get this type of issue ever and whereas my airbag light has been going on every 2 months and they kept resetting the sensor.
