My car is seeing error lights for the passenger restraint system, and the dealer informed me that I should replace the oc3 mat at a cost of $2021. I see that this part is covered under recall for some similar age 525xi models, so I am unclear why this problem doesn't extend to my vehicle if this is a common problem with these models. Is this under evaluation for a possible future recall?.
Passenger airbag restraint failure light came on. I looked online to find there is a recall for this matter on year, make and model but not on VIN.
Passenger restraint failure warning came up on my 2007 525i. This has been a problem on previous models but after taking my vehicle into the dealership they informed me it would not be covered and would cost me roughly $2000 to repair. This is a severe safety issue as nobody can ride in the passenger seat. This should be covered with the other vehicles.

On September 16,2009 I was involved in an auto collision in my 2007 BMW 525i series. I was stopped at a freeway exit off the 405 s. Where suddenly a vehicle that was doing a speed of no less of 50-60 mph collided into the back drivers side passenger door which resulted me to be pushed forward at least 75-100 feet. The force and impact of the other vehicle was so severe, that is caused the other vehicle to flip over multiple times and land about 100 yards away from impact. With such an impact and the speed of the other car without hitting their breaks at all, you would think that not only the front driver, passenger, or rear passenger airbags (especially that was were the impact was) that the airbags would deploy. That is not the case. No airbags deployed and this is a major concern. I am very lucky that I only suffered injuries and not death and that goes for the passenger in the car with. I am also thankful that I did not have my 5 month old baby in the backseat. If she was is the backseat she would have not her life because no air bag deployed. I was made aware that over 200,000 BMW were recalled for models of 2005-2006. Apparently BMW has not resolved the issue for 2007 and possibly 2008 or 2009. This is a serious matter and must be looked into. Please take my email seriously and to the heart because no one should lose a life due to incompetence of a major auto manufacturer especially when there seems to be a recall to previous years and exact models. I do not believe BMW is making the necessary corrections or adjustments to this defect which may cause unnecessary injuries and/or deaths. I would like to hold BMW accountable for this issue and would like to be advised on what steps I must take for BMW to take this seriously and make things right.
