When a person is sitting in the front passenger seat the "passenger airbag off" light comes on and the airbag light shows on the dash like the sensor isn't registering that someone is sitting there, then after a few minutes it goes off again and does this frequently.

The airbag light is on, there is a recall on airbag sensors. Dealer wanted me to pay $170 first before they can look at the problem. I told them the airbag system has a recall on airbag sensors, but they refused to fix the problem or even diagnose the problem before I paid them $170.

I have a 2010 BMW X3 that needs a right front seat mat to correct air bag light on dash is on. Dealer told me part is on order and no person should sit in passenger seat until repaired. Will it is all most 1 year waiting on seat mat. (I had a recall for takata air bag on steering wheel replaced. Witch was done faster than this seat mat. ) I need to know how long BMW has to repair this problem???.

Since the second time the light has come on I took it to a different dealer (because I moved) and they said it is something to do with the passenger airbags but they would have to plug it up to a computer to figure out exactly what it is.
