Front passenger occupancy sensor failure.
I had my car towed to BMW of west springfield MA, to get car initially overhaul and completely fixed I understand that are six underlying recalls airbags, odb communications, brakes, electrical, door latches, after calling and letting them know my car was on its way, I requested a courtesy call and no was given I call two days later to be told my car wasn’t on the lot, then to be called back hours later to be told they could not find key to my vehicle, also they tried to make me pay for the lost key in which they lost, they still refuse to fix the recall and are requesting me get it towed out at there expense the recalls can only be fixed by BMW, also massachusetts and federal law requires them to be fixed, so therefore the car cannot leave the lot until recall is fixed.
My airbags system has malfunction for both driver and passenger side. The brake system has a malfunction as well as emergency braking system the steering has a malfunction as well.
I have a 2007 750li BMW with airbag and seat belt problems has there been a recall on this safety complaint.
The "airbag malfunction" dash light is on. The BMW dealer has determined the malfunction is due to an internal failure to the drivers seat occupancy detector. An active recall (17v-605 ?) includes 2004-2006 BMW 7 series but excludes my 2007 BMW 7. Dealer declined to make the repairs under the active recall.
A seat occupancy detector fault prevents the entire airbag system from working. This fault signal appears when the car is started and continues until it is off. The airbag fault signal was checked and confirmed to be a failure of the passenger seat detector. This is a common BMW problem. It caused NHTSA recall 13v564000 (11/12/13) and is now the subject of an extensive BMW warranty extension for many models in lieu of a recall, but not for the 2007 7 series. BMW service bulletin si b01 01 18 (may 2018) identifies 12 model types given a lifetime warranty extension for specified years: e53 (x5) for 2001-2006; e60 (5 series) 2004-2008; e61 (5 series wagon) 2006-2007; e63 (6 series) 2004-2008); e64 (6 series convertible) 2004-2008; e65-e66 (7 series) 2002-2006; e83 (x3) 2004-2010; e85 (z4) 2003-2007; e86 (z4 coupe) 2006-2008; e90 (3 series sedan) 2006-2007; and e91 (3 series touring) 2006-2007. For no apparent reason, the 2007 7 series is excluded from this warranty extension. A specialty BMW repair shop that uses BMW trained personnel confirmed that there was no material difference in the seat detection system between models included in the BMW warranty extension and those excluded from it, like the 2007 7 series. The Bmws have a design shortcoming that requires that a repair of a failed passenger seat occupancy detector is extremely expensive, requiring extensive work to rework the entire passenger seat. That expense in the range of $2,000, is a great disincentive to repairing older models with diminished value. That creates additional danger of no air bag protection in these cars. When asked, BMW representatives made no attempt to explain why the 2007 7 series is excluded from the warranty extension, saying only that the choice of models covered is based on internal data and BMW customer service has no discretion to cover or reduce costs for models not included.

My passenger air bags are inoperable in my vehicle. It was this way when I bought the car. It was reported to me the vehicle was under recall for the situation but when I had the car taken to the dealership, they informed me my particular vehicle wasn't under recall. My question is why is my car isn't one of the vehicles under recall. I had the car checked out by a certified BMW mechanic and he stated it's in the passenger occupancy detector.
