Five problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2007 BMW 328. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takara recall. Passenger side airbag is off. On the dash the airbag and safety belt light is on all the time.
Takata recall - notice from takata states both airbags are defective, yet BMW only replaced my driver side bags even though my car dash is warning that my passenger side airbag is defective and or has a problem. Shouldn't both bags be replaced in recall. I'm a realtor and often carry passengers.
Takata recall: passenger side airbag defect. Message that comes on when engine first turned on and stationary, reads: "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting air bag, belt tension or belt force limiter. Continue to wear seat belt. " however, this car not included in the recall when I check license number.
There has been a recall on my vehicle model (2007 BMW 328i) for cracks developing in the "front passenger seat occupant detection mat". This causes the passenger side airbag to be deactivated during a crash (NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000). I called BMW and they say that my particular vehicle is not covered under this recall. I really do not understand why my particular vehicle is not covered when my exact model is covered under the recall and the issue with my car is exactly the same. I feel this is very unfair. Please help me out here. I fear the worst because now I am married and I have a passenger more often than before. I really cannot afford $1000 right now to fix an issue that should be covered by BMW.
