Takata recall.I was involved in a traffic accident which 100% of fault was assumed by the hitters insurance firm. The other driver ran through a redlight, at intersection of legacy and hedgcoxe in in plano, tx round 6:40 pm.the airbag did not deploy properly to protect me. The airbag attempted to deploy mere inches and exploded in my face causing hot air and metal to be released and blown into my face an eyes,the fireman on scene helped me out of car and stated that airbag and seat belt did not protect you because your injury is apparent. Subsequently following surgery, my left forearm was repaired with pernmant screws and plate holding my bones together. I suffered neck, back bilateral knees, and two fractures in my ankle. My left hand has extensive painful numbness and shooting pains one year after surgery. I am still grappling with limitations and disabilities to this day. I am a totally different man today after this accident and my doctors concur, this is a medical condition that is of chronic duration.I have all of my documentation including police report,hospital bills pictures of both cars, insurance documents. ..

Passenger restraint warning - apparently the passenger seat sensor has failed and the passenger airbags have been automatically disabled. A quick search shows that this seems to be a fairly common problem with bmw passenger seat sensors. There was even a recall for the issue, but the dealer claims my 2008 bmw 750li wasn't included in the recall (only 2006-2007 bmw 750li's). This car was built using the same parts. Shouldn't it be included in the recall list? Apparently the problem is so common that people are building "sensor bypass" devices and selling them on amazon/ebay to place the passenger airbags into "always on" mode. This kluge doesn't sound like a very safe solution, since small children could be injured by the airbag system if it deployed unnecessarily. Dealer has quoted nearly $1,400 for a fix. Bypass solution less than $100. Seems one has to choose between relative safety or not blowing the savings fund. All to repair an obvious design flaw.

I started my car in the morning and there was a yellow "air-bag" indicator on my dashboard with a message "driver restraint system fault". It wasn't there the night before. Couple of days later, I took the car to dealer and they diagnosed that "driver seat mat sensor and control box" failed and needed to be replaced for $1,237. Bmw had a recall on seat mat sensor on prior year models and now its occurring in other year models as well.

Passenger detection mat faulty causing the passenger-side airbag to deactivate and the airbag warning light to illuminate. In 2008 these detection mats were recalled for bmw 7-series through 2006 however they were not recalled on 2008 models. Dealer requires $1.3k to repair.
