Restraint system malfunction showed up on my car for no reason. i just bought this car it had no issues then one day restraint system malfunction showed up! i was pulling out of my drive way when this happened.

Takata recall nhtsa recall 16v071 has status that remedy parts are available. despite of this, my local bmw dealer (peter pan bmw in san mateo, california) says parts are not available and that it still will take several months due to parts being shipped from europe. i don't find it acceptable that bmw is delaying such repairs and would expect bmw to use expedited shipping solutions to complete this critical fix. *cn

Takata recall (this is more of a concern and request for help rather than an incident. i was directed to this website by the recall notice. no other instructions other than the url were given) i live on galveston island in texas, south of houston. it is one of the hottest, most humid places in the us. my passenger side airbag was recalled in march of 2017. despite repeated requests to bmw, they still will not replace the recalled airbag. i am concerned because in april 2016, not far from where i live, a 17 year old girl was killed by shrapnel from her airbag in a crash that she otherwise would have walked away from.

The sensor (to detect if someone is sitting in the seat) under the front passenger seat is not working properly and requires the seat belt to be activated to silence the warning beeps, even when the passenger seat is not occupied, so it's clearly not functioning as intended. leads me to question whether the airbag will deploy in the event of an accident. the same issue happened for several years with our 2007 bmw 530 and that was finally acknowledged by bmw and we were offered a free repair for this item. keep waiting on them to include our x5. it's been several years.
