Brake Light On problem #1

I am a 2008, BMW X3 driver. I had my air bag fixed (I think) yet, the air bag light is still on. Also, the brake light and engine light. I do not know what is going on. This drama is over a year old. I have supportive documents, voicemails and emails to support my efforts.

Service Brakes problem #2

The steering angle sensor has faulted, at around 60,000 miles. This fault results in possible airbag failure, in conjunction with inability to perform safety breaking mechanisms, as well as disabling the cars 4x4 stability control features. BMW as well as other BMW third-party mechanics have told me this is a reoccurring problem and could pose a serious danger if in an accident. BMW officially told me to put a complaint in so that a recall could be performed. I will not pay 2000 for my airbags to work, as it is a feature required by law to operate properly. I will upload all necessary documentation if needed, should this complaint be taken into consideration.
