Constantly receive message "passenger restraint system malfunction: fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter."
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.

Takata recall. i am going on nearly 2 years since i was first notified of the recall. bmw of san rafael keeps telling me they cannot fix the airbag problems.
Both airbags have been on the recall for over a year....are they not required to be in the vehicle, but working correctly? to wait for a recall over a year on something so important is very wrong! in addition there is another recall (oct 2016) on a fuel pump "could leak fuel during refueling or cornering" i've set up a service appointment jan 20, 2017 and i'm told neither recall items will be addressed or repaired because parts. i'm also not offered a solution outside of "carefully move away from traffic" anyone driving the car, near the car or at the refueling location is at risk...how many of these vehicles are out there? more has to be done!! bmw should repair these asap or have them taken off the road. a year is unacceptable *tr

I own a 2010 bmw x5 xdrive30i, on monday, november 28, 2016 at 5:50am, while the vehicle was stationary, ignition off, key in the ignition, radio on and refueling at the gas station, i heard a chime coming from the cabin and noticed the message that stated "restrain system malfunction affecting the front passenger airbag" the message also stated that the malfunction would limit the inflator, tenssioner and another component which i do not recall now, to properly inflate the passenger side airbag. i made some inquiring on line and found that this is a common problem with different models of bmws, as well as other brands. i contacted bmw usa and was told that there was a recall for the driver side airbag but nothing for the passenger side. my vehicle only has 85,000 miles, relatively new, for a bmw, and is facing this type of malfunction. i believe that an investigation should be launched by your agency and explore the possibility of issuing a recall to force bmw usa to take responsibility in this matter. these type of repairs are very pricey and should be covered by bmw, since its happening to so many models and around the same amount of miles.

Takata recall...received letter informing that recalled takata airbags are on my car. i called dealer to get it fixed and was told they have no parts. i called main bmw corporate hq and was told they had nothing for me and offered no help. i explained that this makes me fearful since we live in high-humidity texas (car came from florida) and research indicates humidity may play a role in airbag failures. both dealer and hq just said can't do anything. we're forced now to drive a dangerous car or get the bags turned off. either way, they're playing russian roulette with our lives! want federal pressure on them to get on it to fix this problem. surely, safe airbags can be manufactured by others besides takata. whatever it takes, this is urgent to families driving these cars.
