The airbag warning light is on. No code is being given by the diagnostic tool. I see that this is an ongoing problem, involving several models. This vehicle does not seem to be part of the recall. I don't get any cooperation from the dealership. They just say that it's not anything covered under a recall. I feel with the well known problem with a critical safety device such as an airbag system needs to have a recall notice issued soon. I'm not sure how this slipped through the cracks. But it seems like that's what happened. Sincerely gary ferguson.

Recently, the light would not even go away. My mechanic informed me about the recall number 13v564000, stating the "owners of model year 2006-2007 3 series with standard seat . . .

I recently purchased a used 2006 BMW 325i with the intentions of letting my daughter drive it, due to the high safety ratings of these automobiles. I called the dealership about some issues with the transmission, and some warning lights on the dash indicating a problem with the seatbelts and airbags. When I inquired about the warning lights, the service writer of the dealership in meridian ms told me that it sounds like the seat mat was faulty. Later I googled info about the seat mat, and I came across a link that shows my should have been recalled due to this issue. I called the dealership back and was told there was no recall for this car. I called nhtsc and left a message about my inquiry, and I was called back promptly by mr. Nate hayes. After I explained the situation to mr. Hayes, he did some checking and found that although some 2006 325i's weren't recalled (the ones with manual seats) mine however should've been recalled due to having the electrically adjusted sports seats. Mr. Hayes instructed me to call the dealership to see if maybe this work had already been done on my vehicle. Upon calling the dealership back, I was told that it hadn't been done, because my vehicle wasn't in the recall. After questioning him more about it, he told me that he was able to find that BMW has extended the warranty on my car to 15 years with no mileage limitations, if that is what was wrong with my car, but if not, I would be charged for the repair. What concerns me about this, is the fact that BMW was mandated by the nhtsc to recall a certain list of automobiles to prevent injury, rather than wait to see if problems occur later that could result in injury and/or death. I don't know if others that should have been recalled were put off by BMW or not, but this could have some deadly consequences.

My 2006 BMW 325i has dashboard warning lights that continue to come up after much time & effort has been spent to get them fixed. The airbag warning light, the seat belt warning light, & the flat tire monitor warning light have caused much stress & frustration due to the issues not being addressed after multiple attempts with the dealership as well as other independent companies. I am worried that if an accident does occur that my safety will be in great danger & this is something that every car owner understands. I am at a loss at this point & do not want to continue to spend countless dollars when the ends do not justify the mean.

My airbag warning light is on. The BMW dealership will not provide me any information as to the maker of the airbag other than telling me it's not one of the recalled tanaka airbags. Many other BMW models of the same year have been recalled for defective tanaka airbags, so I'm not reassured by their response . A friend with same year, make and model of BMW suffered permanent eye damage when his airbag deployed unexpectedly in slow moving collision. I am afraid of the same consequences. BMW, as well as other manufacturers, should be able to provide customers proof that a tanaka, or similar defective airbag, was not used.
