Four problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 2008 BMW 328. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When front passenger is seated, light indicates passenger seat air bags are turned off! even with adults seated. Maintenance stated likely seat sensor faulty. Frustrated to see this is a known problem for this vehicle that was repaired for only one year of the 3 years affected. How many people must die first? happens stopped and in motion.
Passenger restraint system failure. The passenger seat occupancy mat sensor is bad, and BMW has recalled it for my 2006-2007 cars, but I have an early 2008 production car that has the problem. I believe this to be a dangerous safety problem and as it stands I do not believe my airbags will deploy.
Seat sensor malfunctioning showing no passenger when passenger is seated. This may prevent seat belts from functioning and air bag deploying in the event of an accident and increasing injuries.
Passenger seat occupancy mat sensor broken. Problem started, 5 years ago. This seems to be a well documented problem affecting many different BMW models/years. BMW will not take responsibility for the situation. Please help.
