Three problems related to air bag light on have been reported for the 2007 BMW 335. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall. . . . Still awaiting update/notice/repair/anything from BMW north America since I was initially notified in March 2016. It is now August 2017! I have a car that I am insuring, sitting unused in my driveway because it is a safety hazard. I can't sell it, or trade it in due to decreased value of airbag light on, and lack of repair. It is coming up for state inspection soon, and won't pass because airbag light is on. This is a very frustrating, unfair and worse, potentially dangerous or fatal situation. I find it inexcusable that it has been almost a year and a half since first notification, and a remedy has still not been made. BMW needs to be held accountable to make necessary repairs in a more timely and reasonable manner. It is just unacceptable that this is taking so long. If repairs cannot be made, BMW should buy the vehicle back and compensate the owners for loss of use plus fair market value.
Seat occupancy sensor on passenger seat has failed. Shows as "airbag light" on dash. BMW already recalled some vehicles for this, and gave a 15-year extended warranty for cars including my model and model year, but refuse to honor the warranty for my particular vehicle because it has sports seats instead of standard seats. Lookup on BMW parts numbers show that the seat occupancy sensor has the same part number on sports and non-sports seats. No remedy from BMW, including contact to BMW USA (have record of emails, including an offer for a phone call I never received).
The contact owns a 2007 BMW 335xi. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated and remained illuminated until the vehicle was powered off. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000 (air bags). The vehicle was brought to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the vehicle having over 100,000 miles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.
