2003 BMW M3 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was in a serious automobile accident involving a 2003 bmw m3. I sustained serious facial trauma that resulted in the loss of vision in my left eye. I had facial stitches as well after the accident. I believe that debris was discharged from the passenger side airbag. 2 surgeries were required after the accident to repair damages with no vision restored in my left eye. It was a frontal impact with a solid object.
My car was in a collision where the driver of car 1 was making a turn into the main street , she turned too wide and could not complete the turn and decided to back up..she slammed into my car ,damage was left front bumper ,broken parking light, damage left front fender , xenon headlight module,(causes the left head light to turn of sometimes) and the air bag light came on , diagnosis found drivers seat belt tensioner fault ,since there was the impact on the drivers side. The driver of car 1 was cited for he incident and also for driving on a learners permit alone. State farm only covered the body repair and declined the repair of the air bag and the head light. I am concerned about the safety of any one inside this car if there was any reason for the deployment of the air bag and it did not deploy at the time. My car was in perfect condition before this accident. I would like to have my car repaired and feel safe driving.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 bmw m3. While driving 65 MPH, the driver's side air bag deployed without a crash or impact occurring. The vehicle shut off, but was able to be restarted and resume normal operation. The contact sustained injures to his left arm due to the deployment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. As a result of the air bag deployment, the cd player stopped functioning and the front passenger side turn signal lens was damaged. The air bag is being repaired for free, but the cd and lens failure will not be covered by the manufacturer. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that an inspector would come out and view the failure. The vehicle was inspected and the manufacturer stated that they would only cover the air bag failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.
My car was hit on the driver side resulting in the driver's door being indented 11" from it's normal position. The inside of the door was about 2 inches from the steering wheel. The side air bag did not deploy. Bmw investigated the car and said that the angle on impact was from back to front which did not trigger the air bag. The body shop, the insurance adjuster and the accident investigator all said the air bag should have deployed.
