general problems of the 2008 BMW 528

The passenger seat occupancy sensor has failed. As a result, the airbags will not deploy on the passenger side, if a passenger is present, in an accident. The error is displayed as soon as the passenger sits. Warning lights go out after restarting the car and if the passenger seat is unoccupied.

Feels like the brakes on and it pulls to the passenger side where it feels like the wheel is going to come off and the passenger seat belt is locked where it won't extended out to buckle and the car dog walks back and forth while driving.

Air bag sensor for front passenger seat not working. Replaced once while vehicle under warranty. Same sensor malfunction again. BMW will not replace unless I pay, cost of replacing sensor over 4,000. 00. I believe it should be covered by BMW since same part is again not working.

Error code 93c8 - driver side front air bag sensor malfunction.

Left rear seat belt will no longer click shut. It was working but will no longer snap into the lock receptacle since March 2017.

I was driving my car and suddenly the restraint system malfunction light turned on and the seatbelt light turned on. I did not hit a bump or anything. There was no passenger currently sitting on the passenger seat when the light came on. I have tried sitting down on the passenger seat and put on my seat belt to see if it will go away but no luck. Also, the seat belt light will not go away even if I buckle the drivers seat and passenger seat belt.

I have a 2008 528i and I got an error message saying the passenger restraint system, or air bag had an error regardless of a passenger present or not any time that car is turned on. I researched it and it seems that this problem is quite common on Bmws and I feel as its an issue with the production of the car and th repair should not be at the owner's expense.

Restraint system malfunction warning periodically comes on while driving under normal driving conditions. This default deactivates airbags. Have taken to dealer to fix 4 times, and today they decided to charge a fee. This is an ongoing issue with my car and many others with recalls of the exact same model but 2 years older.

During an automated car wash, the following warning displays: "fault in passenger restrain system affecting airbag, belt tensioner, or belt force limiter". The airbag and seat belt light become activated when this happens as well. The warning message will stay on for hours after the car gets moderately wet, either in a rain storm or a car wash. Even if the car is turned off and then turned back on the message and errors will persist. It takes about 8-10 hours for the error to go away. This happens consistently and is easily repeatable. The most recent occurrence was April 13, 2014, while driving through a rain storm.

Car has passenger restraint system malfuction since fabrication. Was never handled. I am new owner and trying to get to the bottom of this. Many people have this issue with this modell and apparently there was a recall for it but my VIN doesnt fall under it. Very frustrating and dangerous.
