Warning Light On Problems of BMW 535

87,000 miles warning light passenger air bag not engaged and may cause damage. Quoted $1800 BMW certified mechanic to replace, fix. Looking for recall as many others experienced the same. Was told that you can't tell whether the airbag will inflate or not. Against the law to disconnect the light. Unable to diagnose without taking the seat apart.

The north american BMW had recalled the 2004-2006 Bmws with the faulty passenger seat occupancy mat, as they had a recurring problem of failing. BMW stated that they "improved the quality of materials, and fixed the problem", but it seems that other BMW owners still have the same problem including myself. My BMW about 4 months ago had the passenger seat occupancy warning light come on, and I am very disappointed that they "fixed" the issue, but most likely instead of actually taking the time to improve their product, they probably just slapped a new label on it and called it a day. And what even more annoying is the cost of replacement parts, which alone cost upwards of $900. You would think that for $900 the past wouldn't have a propensity to break. The newer models that still have this problem should be covered under recall or at least have a reduced price to compensate for the poor craftsmanship of a product known to fail.

Driving new 2013 535i (heavily equipped) about 50 mph in 55 mph zone on a clear evening w/low traffic. Suddenly and without warning BMW collided into rear-end of illegally parked vehicle lacking any warning lights or flares. BMW rammed adverse parked vehicle approx. 16' before pull apart. Air bags deployed on steering wheel and knee. Steering wheel airbag caused significant damage to left arm etc. . Both legs in similar trauma post-crash at knee to foot equally. Front windshield cracked inwards (not outward) above steering wheel. Force of impact to rt. Foot/heel to pedal/floor caused multiple fractures req. 10 screws with plate and other injuries. Temporary total disability and partial permanent disability. Out of pocket medical costs, and other specials exceed $100,000. 00 excluding value of vehicle. (damage to vehicle estimated to exceed $42,000. 00) BMW stalled and rolled to a rest in left lane. BMW assist could not speak to me, but could hear from within vehicle. BMW admitted its BMW assist system malfunctioned. Airbag deployed and may not have properly and/or timely notified 911. Personal injuries from airbag despite seat and steering wheel fully retracted. BMW promised, but failed to provide audiotape and transcript, despite repeated attempts. Moreover, BMW won't provide common courtesy of a response to said failure even though proof of service exists. Unusual particularly since no threat of litigation has been or will be made. Air bags do not show as being disconnected from crash on this site. Personal injuries e. G. Medical bills, pain and suffering etc. Into six figures. BMW has also refused to inspect vehicle to rebut any queries as to vehicles' performance at moment of impact. BMW nor selling dealer never informed assist package for about $1,300 would have prevented or significantly reduced the outcome.
