We have classified the 3 complaints from 2010 BMW X5 about SEAT BELTS into the following categories.
Front passenger seat mat sensor faulty leaving the front passenger without airbag protection. i'll install a bypass device because they are common and inexpensive and available because so many bmws have this issue. the bypass device will allow the passenger airbags to deploy whether a passenger is in the seat or not. the years 2006 and 2007 saw recall on the passenger seat sensor. this needs to be addressed.

The bmw i am driving does not have an adjustment for the seat belt height. the seat belt does not properly fit me as i am 5' 2". it comes across my neck, not my shoulder, no matter how i adjust the seat. it is uncomfortable and may pose a safety risk. there has been no particular incident or accident. i am making this complaint to let you know that there may be a future problem. *tr
