Restraint system malfunction showed up on my car for no reason. I just bought this car it had no issues then one day restraint system malfunction showed up! I was pulling out of my drive way when this happened.

My seat belt light comes on it starts beeping without anyone or anything on the seat it's very annoying and unsafe I would imagine if I was to get into a car accident would my airbag deploy or not giving false reading this happens while driving.

Seat belt gets 'stuck' and does not automatically fasten.

A code is being thrown that translates to "seat belt tensioner, driver's side". I see a recall in your database for this issue and 2002 BMW X5's but when I call the dealership (BMW of the mainline) and provide them my VIN#, they said the recall doesn't cover my particular car. Unsure why that would be as I have the same problem w/the same year and model car as in this recall. Obviously, my car suffers from the same issue and should be recitified by BMW free of charge. Thanks.

I was driving on the freeway and alll of a sudden I received an audible and visual warning stating that the passenger restraint system malfunctioned. At the time, there were no passengers in the vehicle. This seems to be an occurring issue with BMW vehicles. I've had the same problem on two other vehicles.

The 3rd row seat belt on the left side (driver side) does not return by it self properly. This is, when you buckle up the seat belt does not return by it self properly so you have to push the remaining belt inside the side wall of the car because it stays loose not tight. I want to know if the dealer have to correct this issue even when the basic warrany is finished. It seems that the retractor is defective.

The driver seat belt on a brand new, BMW 2017 X5 xdrive 35i had a seat belt buckle that would rattle and shake when the driver was seated. The buckle would continue to rattle as the driver drove down the road. The buckle would rattle when the vehicle was stationary, in motion, or running. The buckle on the passenger side did not have this issue. It appears to be very dangerous to have a driver seat belt that is not properly manufactured.

The passenger occupancy sensor is defective and chimes continuously when unoccupied. The only way to disarm the chime is to buckle the passenger seat belt which activates the passenger airbags. Since this vehicle currently has several airbag recalls on it, the defective occupancy sensor creates a dangerous situation for myself and other owners of this same make and model.

When a passenger is seated in the right front seat, the airbag warning light stays on and the passenger airbag off light stays on. Also, seatbelt warning does not work for passenger or driver seat.

My vehicle is BMW X5 30i 2009 model year. I suddenly had an error message on the dashboard screen saying "pass restraint system faulty". Dealer checked the problem and stated that this will not engage front passenger airbag and seatbelt restraint system if not fixed. Asked price was $1800 and paid $1500. Absurd price and should be covered by warranty -- its a safety system! I found out that there was an identical NHTSA recall on the same issue with other BMW vehicles just one or two years before this model year. The NHTSA recall code of that recall is 08v384000. I usually ride the car alone and have occasional passenger and never had any heavy load on the seat.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 BMW X5. The contact stated that the air bag warning light and the passenger restraint system indicators were illuminated in the instrument panel. The dealer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000. Ah.

I was driving my 2015 X5 (bought it new in March and the car only has 2599 miles right when the malfunction happened on Aug 8th 2015) to a local trader joe's after getting off from highway 101 when suddenly everything on the car failed. I was in the middle of a left turn and almost ran into the car next to me which also was turning left when the steering wheel became so stiff that I can hardly turn it. At the same time, the airbag malfunction light is on and the safety belt restraint system failed. The safety belt became so loose that it didn't even hold/restrain me during the turn. The speed meter also failed and it showed 0 and even though when I was driving. Other failures include headlight and turning light. The right turning would always turn itself on no matter what. I was able to park my car in a safe location but this really scared the t out of me. When I pressed the brake and the stop engine button, the car didn't even shut down the engine. Other failures include tpm malfunction, parking brake reduced, parking assistant malfunction and headlamp vertical aim control malfunction. It's been an hour since I called for a towing car and I'm waiting anxiously for it while my car has its engine on the whole time. I own a 2011 x3 and never had any problem with it. I bought this X5 in March and it only has 2599 miles on it. I can't imagine what would happen if everything failed just when I was driving on the 101 highway which is about 3 minutes before all of these happened. Does anyone know what I can do? I don't know if I can trust this car any more even if after they fix it. This is so dangerous and could be a disaster if it happened on the highway.

Takata recall. The contact owned a 2001 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, a coyote jumped in front of the vehicle. The contact attempted to void a crash and swerved causing an unknown rear wheel to detach from the vehicle. The vehicle then flipped over several times and crashed upside down into the side of a residential home. A police report was not filed. The air bags failed to deploy. The seat belt failed to restrain the contact who was ejected from the vehicle when the impact occurred. The contact sustained internal bruising that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a collision center but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was later towed to the contacts residence. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact later received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v047000 (air bags). The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.

Fasten seatbelt chime and disabled airbag light appear even though passenger's seatbelt is fastened. Symptoms occur whether seat is occupied or unoccupied.

BMW passenger seat airbag/seat restraint system has a malfunction. The system says there is a problem with the passenger seat and/or airbag restraint system or seatbelt or belt tensioners. There is a red light on the dash indicating failure of the system. This light comes and goes. Sometimes the light comes on even when no one is in the seat. I've googled this and it seems a lot of people are having the same issue with this. I'm not sure if the airbag is really effected or if it is a sensor malfunction. I see there are similar complaints listed here for this same issue.

Front passenger seat belt is installed incorrectly within the b pillar causing the belt to be twisted and interferes with the speed and totality of the belt's retraction. I noted this to the salesman at new vehicle delivery and was told it was not a safety concern and that they'd fix it at the next service appointment. At the service appointment, I complained again about the twisted seat belt and was first accused of twisting the seat belt. The BMW techs attempted to "untwist" the seat belt and told me that they had fixed it. Upon return of the vehicle, the passenger seat belt stopped retracting properly and is still twisted. This defect applies to all states of vehicle operation and dealer has failed to rectify the situation on two occasions. I do not trust the seat belt was engineered to withstand an accident while installed backwards and certainly not with a folded/twisted/kinked belt. I now believe this to be a serious safety concern because BMW has failed to rectify this factory defect which seems to crease and cause irreparable harm to the seat belt, being retracted in such a state. I do not want a passenger injured or killed because of a factory defective seat belt which I have attempted to rectify since taking delivery of this custom-ordered vehicle in 10/2015. 3 photos of improperly installed front passenger seat belt included. Photo of properly functioning driver's side seat belt included for comparison.

My son lean forward and turned left to grap an item from my daughter in the back seat. All of the sudden the passenger safety restraintment system malfunction light came on. Now it comes on continuously when a front seat passenger moves slightly. I researched online and noted that recall has been done for numerous BMW cars, but just not my year model. I believe this is manufacture defect and they should fix it.

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.

When a people seat on the passenger seat, the light "airbag of the passenger seat is off" is on. And the led panel shows "restrain system malfunction". I get my car checked at the dealership, they said this is due to the fault of the sensor in the seat and will make the airbag not deploy in an accident. Actually, this problem has been there for a while but only happen occasionally (one time a month), and can be solved by change sitting position a little bit. When I checked in the service, nothing wrong was found. He said the same problem exists in older models (e. G. 2005, 2006), which are in the recall list of BMW. But mine is not in and I need to pay $1400 to get it repaired. I think this is a really important issue since it disables the airbag, which is the most important safety equipment. My car is in a very good condition and serviced regularly. There is no reason it faults in such a low mileage and age. Many users in the BMW forum has the same issue, but is under risk or got to pay for the repair. I hope BMW can take care of this issue to recall the cars that are potentially in risk.

I have the same complaint that another owner made under NHTSA id number 10621394, pertaining to NHTSA campaign number 13v564000. In my case a repair shop has indicated that my vehicle's front passenger seat occupant detection mat is defective and probably should be covered by the recall. Unfortunately the recall only lists the 2006 BMW X5 as having the defective part. I believe the recall should be extended to include the 2007 BMW X5.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 BMW X5. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag sensor light continued to flash off and on when a passenger was either occupying the seat and also when there was no passenger. The contact also indicated that the seat belt warning chime was activated when the passenger was secured using the seat belt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA campaign number 13v564000 (air bags). The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same defect listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 93,000. Jft.

Air bag signal and seat belt warning were lit on the dash, even after the passengar was out of the car. The seat belt warning chimes when passengar leaves, took it to a mechanic and he told me that the sensor needs to be replaced. Took it to BMW on 06/10/2014 they told me, there were no recalls for my car due to my VIN. Considering the fact that other vehicles are having the same problems, and are being repaired, this is very dissapointing that my car can not be fixed, when this is a potentially dangroues situation.

In regard to NHTSA 13v-564, my 2007 BMW X5 has the same front passenger sensor/control module issue. A warning light comes on every time I start the car that says seat belt malfunction or seatbelt tension sensor malfunction. This must be a defect, as I have less that 40,000 miles and hardly ever have a passenger. The recall was issued in December 2013 and references up to 2006 BMW X5s as having the defective part. Can you please extend this recall to include 2007 BMW X5s? if you would like or need additional information, please let me know. Thank you.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 BMW X5. While parked the passenger restrain system error message illuminated on the instrument panel. The error message illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000. Dr.

Seat belt light is always on, drivers side may be the problem. Light goes on as soon as the car is started. I bought it used and light was on. Milage was 91,050. BMW X5 3. 0l6 dohc 24v.

Takata recall and seat belt buckle, purchased from homeland security auction, had a lot of damage to front section and interior was torn apart by home land security. I saw pictures of it on the internet but they are no longer available.

Since 2010, my BMW X5, 3. 0, 2006 seat belt continually sounds the alarm chime even though there is no passenger in the seat. This issue only happens in the passenger front seat. The seat belt must remain fastened at all times to avoid the warning indicator from alarm.

The BMW I am driving does not have an adjustment for the seat belt height. The seat belt does not properly fit me as I am 5' 2". It comes across my neck, not my shoulder, no matter how I adjust the seat. It is uncomfortable and may pose a safety risk. There has been no particular incident or accident. I am making this complaint to let you know that there may be a future problem.

1) cruise will not take into action when less then 15 mph--- and you have to be in accelerate to engage cruise- causes problems in school zone. Especially to set the cruise at 19mph is a challenge. 2) seat belt warning even after I have the seat belt on. And the beep comes after I drive about 2 blocks . . . So I have to take off the belt and put it back on.

Seat belt latch broken.

The contact owns a 2006 BMW X5. The contact stated the occupancy detection mat which was located in the passenger or driver seat that informs the computer that a person was in the seat failed. The failure rendered the air bags inoperable and also caused the seat belt lights to illuminate as if a person was sitting in the seat when it was unoccupied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on more than one occasion and they performed a diagnostic test but the computer displayed no codes; therefore, they could not repair the failure or duplicate it. The manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle back to the dealer but they would not honor the request. The failure mileage was 38,000 the current mileage was 67,000.

The contact owns a 2000 BMW X5. While parked, the contact noticed that the front driver side seat belt would not retract. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The technicians replaced the seat belt assembly for the front driver side seat. After some time, the front passenger side seat belt failed to retract. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a complaint was filed. The manufacturer stated to the contact that the seat belt repair would not be covered under warranty due to the age of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
