The front passenger seat has a permanent malfunction of occupancy detection. The airbag "off" light is illuminated while a passenger is occupying the seat. This is an obvious safety fault, and fails to meet current dot regulations. I do not feel comfortable putting my passengers at risk while they sit there!

Bmw has taken longer than reasonable to address 3 recalls outstanding on this vehicle. The first recall is from a year ago re driver air bag. The second recall is from 9 months ago re passenger air bag. The third recall is from 4 months ago re in tank fuel pump. Bmw has advised that parts will not become available for at least several months from now. Bmw was unable to provide an precise dates. In the mean time, we have tried numerous times but been unable to sell our vehicle either privately or to a dealership. No one wants to buy this vehicle because of the long standing, unresolved recalls and bmw has refused to fix the issue earlier or offer any reasonable alternative solution.

I received a recall notice about air bags in august. I have still not received notification of parts. My bmw x5 is now having another very debilitating problem. It shuts off, stalls, won't start, emits very toxic and strong fumes of burning gas when I start my car and when im idling. The engine light up then , it shakes, it has no punch. I felt as though it was part of the other recall with the fuel pump and I took it to my local bmw dealership for diagnostics and they dismissed me, told me I had to pay more for more tests and that it absolutely was not the fuel pump recall. In the meantime I asked about the air bag recall and they said no they couldn't help. I complained and [xxx] of parts and service said fine, they would fix the airbags right then, but couldn't offer me a rental. After 3 hours and 3 hours more I could not stay because I had to work so he put that I request recallvwork on my car which is absolutely not true. I just couldn't stay. I needed to make an appointment for acday that I was off but he was very unhelpful. Well yesterday I received the originial recall letter for the fuel pump and im shocked once again that there is no solution at this time. I have a car that is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. The fumes are giving me headaches, I've got 2 very dangerous recalls that say if I have problems pull over and for to dealership immediately. But nobody wants to help me.

Takata recall this is taking way longer than I would ever think and I fear the risk of injury or death. I can't believe it takes this long for proper or new parts to arrive for remedy. Can we disable them from ever working so we limit risk of faulty bags?

My vehicle is bmw x5 30i 2009 model year. I suddenly had an error message on the dashboard screen saying "pass restraint system faulty". Dealer checked the problem and stated that this will not engage front passenger airbag and seatbelt restraint system if not fixed. Asked price was $1800 and paid $1500. Absurd price and should be covered by warranty -- its a safety system! I found out that there was an identical the federal safety agency recall on the same issue with other bmw vehicles just one or two years before this model year. The federal safety agency recall code of that recall is 08v384000. I usually ride the car alone and have occasional passenger and never had any heavy load on the seat.
