1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2022

I have the seatbelt and airbag light illuminated on my car for the passenger. I have researched this issue and it seems to be a common problem on Bmws. It was part of a recall for the 2006 model but nothing past that year. Apparently, it is the sensor that is in the passenger seat that has broken. So the airbag can't sense whether or not a person is occupying that seat.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2021

Code is coming up for passenger seat occupancy sensor which possibly affects airbag deployment in the event of a collision. It has been noted that the passenger seat occupancy sensor has been a part of prior BMW for 2008 and earlier.

3 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2020

Sensor warning states passenger airbag and passenger seatbelt is not on.

4 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2019

The seat air bag sensor mat has failed the airbag light stays on. The 2006 to 2008 models were recalled for this exact problem but not the 2009. Thos is a serious safety issue because the air bag will not deploy on the passenger side with a faulty sensor. Contacted BMW will not repair unless you pay full price. This is a joke because the repair is 1500 dollars or more, the car only has 77000 miles and has been well taken care of. A recall should be issued because this a serious and common problem which is very expensive to repair and is a horrible design.

5 Seats problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2018

Takata recall-I took my car in for the airbag recall and the BMW of south atlanta repaired the driver seat-I think. When I left the passenger airbag off light was on and I asked about it the tech said if you have an accident you don't want to schrapnel to hit the passenger. From then on the seat belt sign stayed on even when someone was in the passenger seat with their seat belt on. I took my car back in last week for the warning light and was told it is a seat sensor and would cost $1,400. 00. Does this have anything to do with the airbag recall? if this is a safety issue and is a faulty part with BMW then why aren't they recalling and repairing?.

6 Seats problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2017

The vehicle brings up a warning light on the dash indicating that the passenger airbag is disabled due to seat occupancy, even though I have a passenger sitting in the passenger seat. This happens at all times. This is a safety concern because in the case of an accident, the car would not deploy the passenger airbag.
