general problems of the 2010 BMW X5

Two problems related to seats have been reported for the 2010 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2021

Front passenger seat occupancy mat (oc3) problem safety code. Supplemental restraint system (srs/air bag system) I contacted BMW of north America and they stated my 2010 BMW X5 is to old, one way to look at it. I requested assistance and BMW will not help out. I am the original owner and my vehicle is garage kept. This air bag will not deploy and the passenger could be killed and or injured in a accident.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2019

Front passenger seat mat sensor faulty leaving the front passenger without airbag protection. I'll install a bypass device because they are common and inexpensive and available because so many Bmws have this issue. The bypass device will allow the passenger airbags to deploy whether a passenger is in the seat or not. The years 2006 and 2007 saw recall on the passenger seat sensor. This needs to be addressed.
