Ten problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2004 BMW 525. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Passenger restraint system warning appears each time we get into the vehicle and start the ignition. Airbag deployment red icon constantly illuminated on the dashboard. The air conditioning system is not working properly. The car does not cool or get cold until the car is in motion. We had a mechanic who we purchased the car from 3 years ago to diagnose the problem but it still continues to not cool properly.
I experienced a rough idle while parked or stopped at light. Independent mechanic said there was a vac leak associated with the brake vac pump which could cause brake damage and/or failure. BMW stated that the recall for this problem was VIN specific. #2 passenger restraint and air bag lite are on, same answer from BMW.
There were no accident but if there were an accident we may not be protected due to the airbag default message in my car. I think it should be on the recall list . Thank you.
Pass. Restraint system fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner, or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear safety belt.
The contact owns a 2004 BMW 525i. The contact stated that while entering the vehicle, the passenger restraint system malfunction light illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
The restraint light came on in my car and for some unknown reason the light will not reset. I know for a fact the dealership replaced the passenger side seat cover or something while under warranty, but this started around 2010 or 2011 not sure. But just a few days ago I was told it may be under a recall status as well because the passenger seat was serviced. And the light says *passenger restraint system fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag,belt tensioner, or belt force limiter. Continue to wear safety belt. But my wife and I are both concerned with this problem so is this a recall and when can it be fixed, I plan on keeping this car but really do need the BMW company to step up to the plate and back their product as one of the best, thanking you in advance.

Passenger restraint system, right high beam malfunction. BMW dealership denies any responsibility while I referred them to the safety recall. They state that our BMW doesn't have any open items. How do I know that all the 2004 525's were input into the BMW database properly? I can't pay for this $1600 warrany when a safety recall was issued in 2008 (while my car was under an BMW extended warranty.
There is a faulty restraint malfunction on the front passenger side seat. Regardless of whether or not a passenger is in the seat at all the airbag sign indicates that it is off. I am aware that this is a common problem and a malfunction in other BMW 5 series and the dealer ships that I've went to refuse to acknowledge this even though BMW headquarters released a recall for some a couple of years ago.
Airbag and seat belt restraint icons remain on vehicle display when seat belts are engaged/fastened.
Faulty air bag system. The passenger restraint light illuminated on the dash. The consumer contacted the dealer who indicated that the first available appointment wa a month from that date.
