The contact owns a 2004 BMW 545i. The contact stated that the driver engaged the driver's side seat warmer. Several moments later, they noticed smoke emitting from the seat. The driver immediately moved off the roadway and stopped the vehicle. After exiting the vehicle and inspecting the failure, the driver discovered a large burn in the driver's seat. The driver waited several minutes before continuing to drive the vehicle. The dealer was contacted and advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to them for diagnosis. The manufacturer was contacted as well, but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 90,000.

Got indication pasanger air bag/ restrant system malfunction on idrive. Took car to repair shop and I was told ocupancy sensor in pasanger seat was bad. I checked for a recal for this vehical with BMW. I was told no recals for this problem on this vehical was covered. I checked with the parts department and was told there was only one sensor for this car. If thats the case how can BMW only cover 200,00 of the defective units and not all that were made durring this time period. Further, on the ones they did cover they increased the warranty period to 10 years from date of original sale with no milage restrictions? it seemes to me a deal was made with the ntsb to cover at least some of the defective units but not all. By extending the warranty period to 10 years on the same part that is used in all vehicals on this class, indicates BMW has admited all the parts are faulty. BMW should include all vehicals that use this part in the recal, recall #08v384000 not just a limited number. Acording to my records this is the second accurance of this issue, and well before 2015 when the 10 year warranty extension would have expired. Also this indicates the replacement sensor are not holding up well. It is my opinion a programing change should be made, where the onboard computor, controling the air bag, uses a input from a seat belt connect sensor to determin if the passanger seat is occupied? not the faulty mat in the seat.
