Had an accident on a city street. Vehicle was in motion & impact was on the front bumper. All airbags deployed except passenger side airbag. Vehicle had the passenger side airbag lamp illuminated for a while before the accident. Called dealer and BMW long back when I initially came to know about the recall. But I was told that my VIN is not in the recall list. Luckily there was no one in the passenger seat when the accident happened, else would have been worse. Nhtsa campaign number: 08v384000.

I was travelling down a 3 lane highway behind a cube van going slowly. As I moved in to the next lane to go around him, I saw there was a pre-existing multi-car accident that had just occurred in that lane right in front of me. I immediately slammed on my brakes to avoid adding to the mess. I was able to stop in time. I had zero contact with any vehicle or object. As I slammed on my brakes, my front drivers side airbag and 2 of my side airbags inadvertently deployed. The front drivers airbag cracked the top of the windshield. Pictures were taken of all the vehicles involved at the scene, including mine. My car would not start, so it had to be pushed off the roadway and towed to my home. The next day, my insurance company allstate sent an airbag expert to my home to investigate the situation (tiffany duncan 301-974-9653) and to make a determination as to whether there had been a collision. She took her own pictures, which have been obtained and will be provided to NHTSA. She confirmed and reported that no contact had been made by my vehicle with any other object or vehicle. There was no damage. There was no collision. Although I have full coverage, allstate has not opened a collision claim on this vehicle. I have no car, no rental car because there was no collision. The car was towed to BMW of annapolis 410-349-9312. The analysis is being handled by a tech named allen. He was unable to make an accurate assessment yesterday, so bwm corporate hq in NJ has taken over, betsy holman 201-571-5859. They determine if there is a manufacturers defect, I will not be able to get a car. Now, my mom is struggling to get to work (at NHTSA) and I have to take her car to get to my brand new job of two days. I have a defective airbag situation. I hope NHTSA can help me prove that I have a defect. Thanks hugh skinner.

2006 BMW X3 passenger side airbag deactivation light come on intermittently. Sometimes the "fasten seat belt" light on the dash comes on while driving with a loud beep (while the driver is wearing the seat belt and there is no one or no object on the front passenger seat. This is more alarming as one is not sure if the air bag is going to work or not in emergency. This happens intermittently and searching the web shows others are having similar issues. I have taken it to the dealer a few times and each time they run some diagnostics, keep it overnight and tell me there is no faults registered, diagnostics found no issues, and they could not reproduce the problem and there is nothing they can do. Today they told me the same thing again and when I drove out of the dealership the fasten seat belt light went on with the beep but by the time I tured around to go back the alarm turned off. So I didn't go back. On the way home had to stop at the grocery and the light and alarm turned on again on the way home from grocery. It's pretty disappointing for a brand known for safety and quality.
