Seven problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2005 BMW 545. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driving approximately 50 mph an accident occurred where there was oil in road. My car lost control and veered into a guard rail on the highway. My car was subsequently totaled and none of my air bags deployed in the crash.
Passenger airbag restrain system, stationary city street.
When the vehicle is turned on and while driving, it says passenger air bag malfunction because of seat belt tensioner or something else. And won't turn off.
I turned on my car and a notification appeared on the idrive that there was a passenger restraint system failure. I read that there was a recall on this and called my local BMW dealership to give them my VIN to see if my vehicle would be on the recall. I found out that it was not. I don't know what fits the criteria for the recall and if this would be considered normal wear and maintenance of the vehicle.
2005 BMW 545i e60 fault in passenger restraint system: this model BMW has experienced a fault in the passenger restraint system and is not listed in the past recall which can lead to dangerous situations if an accident occurs and the restraint system malfunctions. The problem is in the mat of the passenger seat and upon a passenger getting into my car about a year ago, I received the error message. I spoke with varying BMW dealerships (in different states) and received mixed information from the recall wasn't approved yet to the current version of no recall and I would have to pay the full repair costs. Speaking with BMW of USA, there was apparently an extended warranty issued for this problem, but the dealership never mentioned this possibility to me when speaking with them. As of now, the extended warranty is expired so should this issue occur on your car today - you are responsible for the full cost of the repair which is in excess of $1000 and additional diagnostic fees. There is a vast amount of information on the poor quality of the passenger seat mat used by BMW in these models leading to this malfunction. Can someone please explain why the e60 BMW models were not covered in the recall when they are experiencing the same exact issue as other models that were covered? this can get someone seriously hurt and BMW is placing this responsibility back on the consumer when they are at fault. This issue clearly spans many more BMW models that were listed in the recall and consumers are being forced to pay the bill for poor decisions on BMW¿s part. It would be nice to see more action and attention placed on this issue by the NHTSA. Related instances of the same issue: NHTSA campaign number: 15v205000 NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000.
Tl- the contact owns a 2005 BMW 545i. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign id number: 13v564000 (air bags) but was advised by the dealer that the parts needed to complete the repair were not available. The contact received the notice months ago. The manufacturer was also contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure. Dyd.
Upon turning on vehicle I drive said passenger restraint system malfunction. I called Bmwna and they said that there was no recall, so I did some research and found this website https://www-odi. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/vehiclecomplaint/index. Xhtml stating that my vehicle should be covered and I agree since this would be considered a safety issue.
