general problems of the 2005 BMW 530

Pss. Restraint system shows in main screen. Seat belt shows in the front screen. Im concer of its actually functionality.

I purchased my vehicle from a dealer on April 2014. Approximately a month later, the passenger frontal airbag automatically disabled and the light illuminated on the dashboard. The frontal passenger seatbelt also disabled and the light illuminated on the dashboard. The brake light is also illuminated. In June 2014, my car was hit by a f150 truck. The impact was so forceful, my car was knocked on the other side of the street. Non of the airbags deployed and there were injuries to the driver. My vehicle was repaired and I was informed by the mechanic that the lights illuminated on my dashboard were recalls and a known safety issue with my vehicle's make and model. I researched the information and did find recalls for the frontal airbag and frontal seatbelt. I contacted a BMW dealership a couple of times and I am told my VIN does not show any open recalls and the repairs will be out of pocket. These problems appears to be defects with the vehicle and a definite safety issue.

The contact owns a 2005 BMW 530i. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard a loud noise near the front driver's side wheel. The dealer could not duplicate the failure and did not state if the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign id number: 10v446000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact was unable to stop the vehicle in time when another vehicle suddenly maneuvered in her lane, which led to the contact crashing into the rear of the second vehicle. As a result, the contact sustained burns to the skin due to the contents that were released upon air bag deployment. Two passengers were also injured. A police report was filed and medical attention was received. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.

I've got an alert on the dashboard (passenger restrain system malfunction). I've heard that is a recall for this malfunctions. I want to check with you if my car is able for that. Thanks.

While BMW has recalled many 2005 BMW 530i sedans for the airbag concerns, my VIN is apparently not included in this list. I have contacted BMW directly, as well as many local service departments, with no avail. Both lights indicating seat belt and airbag malfunctions have been illuminated for over a year and I am very concerned that if a crash were to occur, the passengers in the vehicle would not be adequately protected. If there are air bag issues in some BMW 530i sedans, isn't it possible that others may have the same issue?.

Nothing crazy happened, was just driving down the street, and all of a sudden message popped on my screen "passenger restraint systems malfunction". It should be fixed by BMW dealership at no cost since there is a recall on this problem, but dealership refused to do it.

There is a recall for this year BMW. For the seat mat that activates the airbag, but my dealership tells me that our car does not qualify . I am also having the same problem with airbag and the seat mat not functioning. Why does this recall not cover my car.

Much like the other complaints, I just copied and pasted this from another complainant. The passenger restraint system malfunction alarm came on the idrive. The dealer says that the vehicle is not covered under recall. However, the recall id #73368 exactly matches the description of my problem. Therefore, we believe that our vehicle should be covered. Please advise how to get this resolved as soon as possible so that I can get the car fixed. We are concerned because it's a serious safety issue when the front air bags will not come on in case of an accident. I went as far as to speak with BMW directly and they said it only goes to the 2004 models, and then to the 2006 models. . . . Yea, whatever. It's a safety recall, they should honor it, and BMW is completely inflexible when it comes to their customers. It's a shame not only will they not help, they want to charge over $1000 to the customer for a recall part. I'm trading my other BMW in on anything but another BMW and will drive my affected 530i until it reaches the scrap yard.

Front passenger seat occupant mat is malfunctioning in my 2005 BMW 530i. There was a recall in action number ea08001 in which BMW agreed to extend the warranty or complete the repair of the problem. When I went to the BMW service facility, they would only fix the issue if I paid. I called BMW USA and they told me that my specific VIN number is not included in the repair/extended warranty. Even though my vehicle is experiencing the problem, they tell me my VIN is not included. Therefore, my passenger seat airbags do not work. I reported this problem originally in 2012 to BMW.

My car is saying that the passenger restraint system has a fault and the seat belt or air bags may be damaged for no absolute reason.

My air bag/srs lights are both illuminated on my car's dashboard and there are no codes of any kind listed. There is currently a recall for my vehicle but my car's VIN is not on BMW's list. I purchased my vehicle in germany while stationed overseas in the military and wonder if that is having a bearing on my status? I am experiencing exactly what is listed in NHTSA campaign id number: 08v384000 NHTSA action number: ea08001 but nobody is trying to assist me because my VIN is not listed in the recall. Any assistance you are able to provide would be much appreciated.

First, the battery. Second, the module that controls the radio, cd, controls on the steering wheels, info screen, almost everything stopped working. Third, right after I had this fixed, an error message came up that the passenger restraint system failed and may effect airbags. All this in a five month period.

Error fault with seat belts and air bags.
