I was making a left turn in stopped traffic. Lanes 1 and 2 yielded die to bumper to bumper traffic. . . As I crossed into lane 3 at 5 to 10 mph. . . Struck by a vehicle going 55 mph plus in opposite direction. My vehicle spun into 3rd vehicle. I hit my head 2 times on driver windows. No airbags deployed. I suffered a traumatic brain injury.
The car currently has 28,899 miles to date. Mid November 2023, the dashboard indicated that there was a default with the safety system. I took the car to the authorized service center and their diagnostics indicated as follows: faulty crash safety module. The recommendation was to replace and program acsm control unit. Since this was a matter of my personal safety I had to pay $2100 to fix it. The second issue was the sunroof not closing. The diagnostic found the following problems: excessive corrosion on sunroof cassette it to fail ( water entering the sunroof).

Passenger seat restraint system.
I have 2 Bmws with identical issues. Computer reads airbag sensor stating restraint system defective.
I am getting a this message “passenger restraint system malfunction. A lot of people are getting the same message. I find out the reason for that is water is getting inside the car every time is raining from the passenger side and moisture buildup causing that. Every time I have to use a space heater to dry the car and is cleared it. But I am afraid the airbag not work properly if this keep happening and BMW is charging a lot of money this fix it after few months is came back again.
Three warning messages appear (I hve to click "ok" to remove them) each time I start the car. The message is about the airbag, the belt tensioner, and the belt force limiter. This for the both the driver side and passenger side. I can still drive the car, but notice through expeimentation,that sometimes when I give a rapid tug on the shoulder belt it stops after a few inches (as it should) and sometimes it goes forward a couple of feet without any reistance. I have not done any other experimentation. This is true for the vehicle being stationary and in motion. Since the dealer wants $185 just to look (I am a few months out of warranty), I would first like to know if other people are having the same issue and their is the realistic possiblity of a recall. This would save me analysis and subsequent repair expenses.
Vehicle continues to throw itself into park while driving and internientky shuts off after two weeks of purchasing vehicle problems developed.
Mulfunction passenger air bag messages showed on the car front screen while car was in motion on a city street with slow speed and with out passenger. Car has 53. 000 miles and dealer refused to fix air bag under warranty.
