As I understand a vehicle for passenger side airbag in passenger side free stream has been dealt with already I just received this vehicle several months ago so it is new to me and I have the same errors as which a recall has been issued for my car 2005 545 I BMW. As I have read after x amount of years a recall is finalized I just received this vehicle several months ago so I feel I am still able to succeed from this safety recall from the manufacture.

Same problem everyone else has with passenger side air bag malfunction. $1500+ repair, but will do it again, as it is faulty parts. Someone sits down in the passenger seat too hard, and it sets off the warning.

I recently purchased a 2004 BMW 545i. On the second time having a passenger in the car, while driving down the highway, I was alerted by a chime and message that the passenger side airbag / safety restraint system had failed. Also noticed was that when turning on the driver's seat heater, the seat got very hot in one particular spot- on the left side near my hip (hot enough that I received a minor burn on my leg through a pair of jeans). I contacted BMW customer service about the problem, as I was made aware that there were recalls on other models for the same reasons, and was told that there were no open recalls for either issue on my model. The representative simply explained that the vehicle was out of warranty and that fixing the issues would be at my expense. I believe that these are very serious defects that could affect my safety and the safety of my passengers.
Passenger side airbag fault light stays on. Dealer said problem wasn't under warranty. Information I found on the internet and BMW sites say it is under warranty. I am afraid if I'm in an accident, my passenger could be seriously injured, or killed.
2005 BMW 545i. Consumer writes in regards to several issues with vehicle to include passenger side airbag, transmission issues and leaks the consumer stated the issue with the passenger side air bag was recalled. Even though the part was replaced twice under warranty and exhibited the same symptoms as stated in the recall, the consumer's VIN was not included. The consumer also stated there was a jolt/delay when pulling away. Within the last three months, the transmission would shift between 30-40 mph as if it were not getting enough fuel. There was also a coolant leak coming from the valley pan, a hose and the coolant tank were replaced. The engine was replaced in 2008, and since then, the vehicle used excessive amounts of coolant.
