general problems of the 2012 BMW 328

My car lost power. It would come and go. Now it's gone. The codes that come up pertain to the wheel speed sensor and timing.

Passenger restraint system malfunction. My vehicle as well as thousands of others have the chronic and unsafe issue of the passenger occupancy sensor malfunctioning. In order to remove warning on dash it’s either a $2,000 repair, or a $40 bypass which basically places the seat as constantly occupied, sticking the passenger airbag in the ‘on’ position. Vehicle is available for inspection. With this malfunction, any person that sits in the passenger front seat is at risk of injury or death in the event of a collision. Malfunction has been confirmed by both a dealer and an independent service center. Vehicle was inspected by the dealer, but no police or insurance company. Vehicle was purchased with the malfunction and the warning lights have been on for several years. With the massive number of vehicles of this make with a range of different mileage, with this issue, a recall is not only needed but warranted and should be mandated with this being a major safety issue.

My BMW 2012 e92 model vehicle currently has a malfunctioning front seat occupancy airbag sensor mat is very similar to the recall for e60 to e91 models. BMW refuses to fix it under the other recall and I'm wondering what can be done to add it to the recall? I also read of an extended warranty for this part but I do not qualify since my model is e92. ( si b01 01 18) . Please advise.

The car is giving me a code stating that there is a passenger restraint system malfunction. Hundreds of thousands of Bmws have been recalled for the exact same problem but they are not covering my make, model and year vehicle even though it is the exam same issue.

Passenger restraint malfunction error code comes off and on while in motion.

Every so often I get an error message that says 'passenger restraint system malfunction'. I know this is a common error message for BMW vehicles & their owners. I have taken it to the dealership and been told that it could be repaired at my expenses. . . Why?! when so many vehicles have the same issue and it's not user error. . . Time for a recall! come on!.
