The contact owns a 2008 BMW X5. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated for the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger occupant detection mat was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000 (air bags); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

I get the seat belt on light and something similar to that but with the airbag light on. This is only on the front passenger side. No passenger but light is on with the chime as well.

I had already submitted a complaint under 10586821 due to the radiator but did not include that the mechanic said that the reason that radiator went out was because of the malfunction of the water pump which I also had to replace. I was told to amend the complaint once received but I never received anything in the mail. BMW knows that there is a problem and refuses to fix it. Also the passenger airbag indicator has been on for over a year. I was told that I would have to remove and have the airbags and sensors replace. What is the purpose of having something that is suppose to be for safety but it's malfunctioning. Therefore I have airbags that are not going to protect anyone in the course of an accident. This is also a common problem with BMW. This is not an age of car item because I had less than 40,000 miles when the indicator came on.
