The vehicle was sold to us with an airbag warning light activated. Per our sales agreement dealer was to remedy the problem. When we took it back to their mechanic he stated there was an open recall for airbag and take it to a BMW dealer so they can replace the mat. That was last October and now over a year later my passenger side airbag is still not working properly. Dealer is not concerned as I have called them several times and their response is " it is not our fault that it has taken so long for BMW to remedy the situation. " so I am upset that it has been over a year and still no parts for the recall from BMW, as well as a dealer who got a car off their lot with a safety recall and took advantage of my not understanding the implications.

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?.

I purchased a 2007 BMW X3 on 7/10/14 from a dealer. At the time of purchase the airbag warning light on the dashboard was illuminated. The dealer indicated they tried to fix the issue by replacing the passenger seat sensor mat, the airbag itself and the seatbelt buckle. Nothing they did fixed the issue or cleared the light. The dealer had indicated that this vehicle had an airbag recall associated with it and I would be getting a letter from BMW in August. This letter would allow me to get this issue fixed by a BMW dealer. I called my local BMW dealer, he looked up my VIN and indicated there was no recall associated with my make, model, year and any further evaluation would be at my cost? was it legal for the dealer to sell me the vehicle with this defect? who is now responsible to bear the cost of further investigation? me or the dealer? what recourse do I have?.

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 ##.

Then one day it remained on constant and on the dash a red airbag warning light illuminated. Both of these lights have stayed illuminated since the problem began happening. I contacted BMW based on the recall that is listed, they state that even though the error that occurred and problem matches the recall, my VIN is not effected. Therefore, I would like a review to see if my VIN number should be included in this recall or if the recall should be extended to more vehicles that are effected. (NHTSA ea08001) I have contacted BMW and they refuse to repair the defect at no cost to me. I have contacted the main office and dealers. They continue to state that my VIN was not effected and I will need to pay to repair the defect.
