general problems of the 2006 BMW 325 - part 1

The passenger seat occupancy sensor (oc3 mat) on my 2006 BMW 3 series (VIN: [xxx] ) has failed. As a result, the front passenger airbag is disabled, which poses a serious safety risk. BMW issued a 15-year warranty extension for this issue, acknowledging it as a common failure, but my vehicle is now slightly outside the coverage period. This part is vital for detecting front-seat occupants and enabling the airbag during a crash. I believe BMW should still be required to fix this safety-critical defect, especially in vehicles where the issue was never repaired while under the extended coverage window. This should be reclassified as a full safety recall, not just an expired service campaign. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

[xxx] . I have a 2006 BMW e91, but mine is not listed for recall above in the link. Currently have a fault for occupant detection malfunction. I also have sports seats listed in the above document. The sensor will say active when no one is sitting in the seat which is a safety concern. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2006 BMW 325i. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v513000 (air bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The dealer offered an inspection but declined to repair the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

There is a recall 17v-428 for the seat mat, and I went to my local BMW dealer and said this car was not on the list, but they acknowledge it’s the same issue but because this VIN was not included they can’t fix it at no charge . They want $2100 to repair. Can you help me ? thanks.

The contact owned a 2006 BMW 325xi. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v513000 (air bags) and 22v119000 (engine and engine cooling) would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.

Put a box of moderate weight into the passenger seat (hard drives) - probably 40 lbs. After driving for a few minutes and over a few bumps, the seat belt warning light came on because the seat sensor was tripped by the weight. Put the seat belt on to silence the warning. Shortly thereafter, both the seatbelt and passenger airbag warning lights showed on the dash, regardless of occupancy. Hooked up to scanning tool and cleared the codes but they always return. This is not a rare event from reading the online forums - it is likely due to the sensor mat in the seat for occupancy being defective, or a combination of that and the seat belt pre-tensioner being defective, for the passenger side only. The vehicle operates normally other than the warning lights. Obviously have not tested the airbag, but that is highly unlikely to be the actual problem from my investigation of the symptoms.

Existing vehicle recall excludes this particular VIN among the same my and model even though this VIN is affected. Report receipt date: Nov 12, 2013 NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000 component(s): air bags potential number of units affected: 76,565 manufacturer: BMW of north America, llc summary: BMW of north America llc (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, [shortened]. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure. Consequence: should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.

After recall done pvc valve and blower heat a/c now not working the car engine light come up abs /brake and more.

The contact owns a 2006 BMW 325i.

The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Component failed: passenger seat occupancy sensor (BMW error code: 0x93c3) implication: passenger airbag will not deploy in case of accident if the occupancy sensor is defective. Similar problems: similar recalls were issued by BMW for the same model and year but with only sports seat; regular seats were not recalled. Previous inspections: this issue has not been previously inspected, but personal inspection leads to faulty seat occupancy sensor. Prior warnings: dashboard shows seatbelt and airbag lights; roof indicator lamp shows passenger airbag off.

Passenger restraint system. (fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner, belt force limiter) whilst driving. Air bag recalled just two months ago! and now new issue. Worried for safety.

There has already been a major recall for most 2006 326xi models that needs to be also extendes to my vehicle. It is obviously an issue on other models, and the manufscturer needs to correct this before people are harmed since by default the module assumes noone is sitting there and will not deploy.

I am frightened to death that the aforementioned recall of almost the entire srs controls was not properly fixed. Duplicated warnings for both have been a daily problem and an exact replica of the symptoms prior. No accident to report, yet a completely valid potential cause for bodily harm! my other car is 16 years old and just was in for a new and active recall as the bags were deploying shrapnel and plastic. . . . And she's 16 years old! I appreciate your help and consideration! looking forward to a prompt response! I'll be driving it to my nephew's wedding at fort campbell army base.

Takata recall. I received a notice in the mail from tk holdings inc. Informing me of a recall for the vehicle. I went to airbagrecall.

About the airbag takata.

I took my BMW for an airbag recall to classic BMW on 6800 north dallas pkwy, plano, RX. They did not discuss any charges and supposedly they changed my airbag on the driver side for free. This was completed on June,5 ,2017. On June,13, 2017 my airbag sign started coming up. Has never had issues with my car in the past regarding air bag sign. Now classic BMW wants me to pay 180 dollars just to diagnose something they worked on. Now they are giving me on the text message a laundry list of items related to air bag. Whatever has happened is what they have damaged. I tried to work it with them and talk and explain. It seems they don't want to discuss it at all. My car was working very clean and properly.

Both of the air bags, drivers and passenger turned off and I feel very unsafe driving my car. I checked online and my car has a recall for them. However my specific VIN for my car does not have a recall although it has the same problems with the airbags.

Received a notice of recall and another notifying me of the readiness to fix my airbags. Called santa monica BMW twice since then to make an appointment. I was told I was put on a "list" and that I would be called once the parts came it. The second time I called, they didn't know of any "list" and took my name down again. I haven't heard from them again.

I received a notice stating that a final remedy was available for recall campaign no. 16v-071. I called the BMW sahara las vegas dealership and they said that the parts were not available and to check back in 3 months. I then called bmq hq who told me that I should check back in 6 months. I don't understand, how could the "final remedy be available" if it's not available for 6 months or longer?.

Upon receiving a safety recall for both airbags back in November 2016, I have requested repeatedly to my local dealer (BMW of atlantic city) to remedy this for over a year now. At first I called the service department and was told I would be contacted once the parts arrived. Then, and after months of waiting I called back and got the same response. I called their main office at that point and got the same line from them. Finally I email them early January and month has passed with no reply. . . . Please advise on how to replace my faulty airbags. . . . Thank you. . . John.

Despite national highway traffic safety administration (natsa) recall campaign number: 08v-384 and pe14-016 regarding a dangerous airbag frontal issue on BMW/3 series/2006, I was refused to have this dangerous safety item parts fixed/replaced by BMW of san antonio with a reason �issue is caused by a humid/moisture condition�. This recall NHTSA engineering's analysis, ea08-001 concluded a defect, and yet, I was given a response that a moisturize condition had affected it and hence, BMW of san antonio would not get reimbursed by BMW so they will not service this safety issue.
