general problems of the 2004 BMW 525

Passenger restraint system warning appears each time we get into the vehicle and start the ignition. Airbag deployment red icon constantly illuminated on the dashboard. The air conditioning system is not working properly. The car does not cool or get cold until the car is in motion. We had a mechanic who we purchased the car from 3 years ago to diagnose the problem but it still continues to not cool properly.

Passenger restraint system light on,effecting airbag,belt tensioner or belt force limiter. Called BMW was told VIN number not in recall how can that be recall is for 2004 BMW. Cost is over 1000. Car was stationary.

I purchased a use 2004 BMW 525i and within 2 days the a message came up indicating passenger side airbag/seat belt issue, remain using your seat belt but see your nearest BMW center.

I own a 2004 BMW 525i and the passenger side airbag and seat belt sign came on few weeks back. The dealer says it’s not covered but NHTSA site indicates it is covered on BMW 525i 2004 vehicles. This dealer is estimating a $650. 00 diagnostic fee to see what need to be done. What can be done to get the passenger side air bag sensor fault issue? my last option is the junk yard, and never buy a BMW.

I was driving in traffic when smell and smok came from the botton of my car, I park the car and check, my seat was burn, I turn off the heating and I'm not be able to used again the dealer on park Ave in south hackensack NJ dont get back to me. Pluss now last week may 31 the passenger saefty light came on we are thinking the car is curs. Every repair is very expensive.

Obd warning , fault with passenger side restraint , passenger side air bag is off , possible problem with belt tensioner.

Pass. Restraint system fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner, or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear safety belt.

The seat belt and airbag warning light are on in car, based on my research, I've found that this is manufacture fault, when I called BMW dealer they told me that my car is not covered under the recall campaign for the same manufacture fault. I think BMW manufacturer is at libel at present, let's just hope nothing happened to myself and family while operating this vehicle. I want BMW to add my car to the recall campaign because this is a safety issue.

The restraint light came on in my car and for some unknown reason the light will not reset. I know for a fact the dealership replaced the passenger side seat cover or something while under warranty, but this started around 2010 or 2011 not sure. But just a few days ago I was told it may be under a recall status as well because the passenger seat was serviced. And the light says *passenger restraint system fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag,belt tensioner, or belt force limiter. Continue to wear safety belt. But my wife and I are both concerned with this problem so is this a recall and when can it be fixed, I plan on keeping this car but really do need the BMW company to step up to the plate and back their product as one of the best, thanking you in advance.

The passenger side air bag warning light is on and will not turn off. I have called the BMW dealership and they stated that they would have to run a diagnostics test which will cost over $100 just to find out what is wrong with it. They stated that my VIN number was one of the cars that was fixed in a previous recall for the same issue. I told them I do not have the money to pay to see what is wrong it. What if the passenger airbag fails and someone is actually injured do to this issue. The warning notification on the dash has been on for two years. The car currently has 80,000. I don't understand why the same issue happens for a previous recall and they cannot take ownership of the recall. Very disappointed. The car has a very high price tag and you would expect some sort of ownership and honesty from the BMW corporation.

There is a faulty restraint malfunction on the front passenger side seat. Regardless of whether or not a passenger is in the seat at all the airbag sign indicates that it is off. I am aware that this is a common problem and a malfunction in other BMW 5 series and the dealer ships that I've went to refuse to acknowledge this even though BMW headquarters released a recall for some a couple of years ago.
