1 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2003

Took my 2002 BMW 525i to have its driver side rails replaced to BMW of peoria in illinois about 2 weeks ago. About 1 week later (around may 5) at a stop light a large allen type bolt fell and rolled to my feet. This bolt was to my lap seat belt which I was now holding in my hand! the bolt was never tightened properly and I had been driving like this for around 1 week assuming my seat belt would work when needed. BMW of peoria was informed of this the same day, it was fixed by the next day. I wrote to BMW-USA about this issue and the response was very low key. Mostly that they apologize for the inconvenience and to talk with my service manager to get this issue fixed. I don't think they even read the letter which mentioned reminding BMW service of proper work. Just writing in hopes that no one else runs into this life threatening situation.
