The passenger airbag light in my dashboard is constantly on. The car thinks that a small child is sitting on the seat and disengages the airbag. So now the airbag is is completely disengaged even when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. I've taken my vehicle to BMW dealership and they checked my VIN and said it's not part of the recall and want to charge me $2000 for the repair. I believe my seat sensor is the same one that is being recalled but not enough owners with the same vehicle have filed a formal complaint with NHTSA. The two recalls that the NHTSA has recalled are 17v-428 and 17v-605. Why are those models the only one being recalled when there's definite malfunction with the oc3 airbag seat sensor? my car is the e93 model which is the convertible model, I believe that because this model was produced less than the 4 door sedan and that most ppl with convertibles don't have a passenger sitting in the passenger seat. I have a daughter that sits in the passenger seat everyday and I believe that is why it malfunctioned. My car is a 2008 e93 328i. I believe the same airbag passenger mat seat sensor is the same one BMW has recalled for their 2006 and 2007 e90 and e91 models as well as the 2006-2010 x3 models that are being recalled. Please include the 2008 e93 models as these are the same airbag sensors that need to be recalled.
I have the airbag light on that causes warning sign on the information center. I took the car to crevier BMW in santa ana, California to have it checked. They told me that the passenger seat detection mat sensor needs to be replaced. This is the problem that's existed before in previous years of the same model, according to nthsa publication on 2013-12-14. Would you please extend the years of the coverage since basically 2006-2011 is the same body type and components for BMW vehicle. Thank you so much.

"seat-belt light/takata recall, it seems that my VIN number is not listed among the vehicles recalled but my airbag lights have been coming on and off as well as seatbelt lights and I believe that the two systems are linked and should be investigated for security reasons, the lights came on as the vehicle was in slow motion as I was attempting to park. I would like to have the parts replaced, especially if the airbags are manufactured by takata or another manufacturer.
Passenger side airbag light came when I started the car, then it shows like passenger airbag is off. For the past 2 weeks the light was coming intermittently, but now it is always on when I start the car and it shows passenger airbag is off. I searched online about this issue and went to mechanic. They gave me error code "93c3" which is passenger seat airbag sensor is not working in the seat and it will cost around 1300$ to fix this issue. BMW had a recall about this issue but it doesn't cover 2008 models. I have a sport seat, and when I checked online, I saw in the forums that lots of people are having the same problem. I believe this is a manufacturing problem and BMW should recall effected cars. Because it is very important safety issue. . .
After the car was serviced about a year and a half ago, the air bag light went on. When I took it back to the dealer, he said the sensors are really sensitive on the Bmws. I recently found out that this year and model had a recall on airbags. When I called the dealer they asked that I refer this to you guys because my particular VIN is not included in the recall. I am now constantly driving in fear of a airbag malfunction.
Takata recall?- my car is not on recall but airbag light displayed at 83,012 miles. They installed new seat belt receptacle at a cost of $362. 42. Airbag light came on again in 2 months- took it back. Was told they needed to check wiring or module. Cost for wiring $625 cost for module $1,315. Did not get it fixed. Seems to me airbag problems should not occur in cars. With all the airbag recalls, I was hoping mine would be recalled but no!.
Through out the past month I have had my car towed three times with five occurances of the care not cranking and the electrical system shutting down leaving me stranded. Over the past year the airbag light has come on at least once a month for less than 5-10 minutes at the time. The first instance it was towed BMW of mobile replaced the battery after several days of trouble shooting even though I had had our local police department check the battery to be sure that that was not the issue. They charged me over five hundred dollars for this battery. Two days after the battery was replaced I had it towed again to BMW of mobile because the car would not crank again and the lights etc. Would come on. They kept the car for over 5 days running test then stated that "nothing was wrong. " I told them that I would not have had it towed if nothing was wrong. Two days later it would not crank again when my 3 year old daughter and I were at a late local highschool football game. This time they said that it was an electrical wire on the passenger side causing the problem causing something to melt near the fuse panel($1,200) to replace).
