Warning Light On problems of the 2005 BMW X3

The car is having a triad of lights with no problem found. Keep getting 4x4, abs, brake, and now my passenger seat airbag warning lights. And researching online I found that smiliar year models were recalled for the airbag sensor.

I own a 2005 BMW X3, purchased new 5-5-05. On 12-19-11, while at the dealer for service, tech advised that during short test, he noted faulted pass seat mat sensor. Dealer replaced pass seat mat sensor and enabled. At no time were prior recalls on this issue mentioned nor was I provided documentation concerning any extended warranty. On 5-14-15 (note the date) the srs warning light on the dash came on and remained lit while the pass seat air bag light would not go off. Took car to dealer 5-19-15. They confirmed the same seat mat sensor they replaced on 12-19-11 was again faulty. However, this time they would not replace as it was beyond the heretofore "extended warranty" by 14 days. Took vehicle to local shop who replaced seat mat sensor. Faulty seat mat sensor retained for possible testing. This is a significant safety issue that BMW is ignoring. How many more complaints need to be made before this issue is resolved? do people need to be injured (or worse) before BMW is held accountable? with seat bag recalls being in the news daily, how much bad publicity does BMW want before they actually do what is right?.

The contact owns a 2005 BMW X3. The contact stated that the air bag warning light remained illuminated for an extended period of time. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 08v384000 (air bags). The VIN was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

The issue began with the passenger airbag warning light turning off and on randomly. The issue has escalated into the driver airbag light on permanently. The dealer and BMW of na claimed there were no service bulletins for 2005 BMW X3 e83s. I was actually able to find it, however they claim the VIN does not show up. BMW of na and dealers refuse to repair under the sb. BMW TSB b72 200 05 BMW TSB b72 207 04 BMW TSB si b65 19 08.

Front passenger side air bag is turned off (light notification), when no one is in passenger seat and no items are on seat the warning light goes on and buzzer will not stop, as if some weight is on seat. BMW has issued recall for this problem (76536 & 72651), but not for this VIN. This is a severe safety issue since airbag is turned off by car and can not be turned on by driver or passenger. Also, have to have seat belt activated all the time. Have noticed that several people have made this same complaint online and BMW has not corrected issue.

The air bag warning light is on continuously. There is no physical damage to the system. The car has never been in a collision. There is a recall on this system for the 2004 model, but not the 2005 model.

I originally asked seattle BMW to look into this problem of the seat belt warning system buzzer sounding when there was no passenger in the seat. At this point the car was still under warranty (2007) and they said the problem was corrected. Upon driving home to olympia, wa the buzzer began sounding again and the warning light remained illuminated. Recently, I was having a failure of the rear driver's side window repaired at the northwest BMW dealership in tacoma. I was told the cost would be approx. $1600. Another customer there was talking to me about my situation and told me his friend has the same year (2005) X3 and has the same problem. Despite the BMW recall 08v384000, the dealer as well as BMW of north America say the vehicle is not covered under this recall. This appears to be the "corporate" response to all owners. Front seat passengers are in danger should these vehicles be involved in an accident. Dot needs to get on this issue to protect consumers! ## VIN passed ## BMW X3 2005 ##.
