BMW Z3 seat belt tensioner fault. By reading online message boards, this is a very common fault. Seat belt is fine, but fault causes the airbag to not deploy. Why is there no recall?.

BMW examined the Z3 on August 1, 2002 and told me that the force was insufficient to cause a side air bag deployment. However my car was completely totalled and I sustained severe head injuries because the side airbag did not deploy. BMW was asked in a letter dated August 21, 2002 to supply the recorded evidence so that I could verify their conclusions. It is now October 1st and they have not complied. I believe that BMW knows that the air bag should have deployed and are not willing to admit their equipment failed. In the letter I asked them to explain why the Z3 side air bag did not deploy and yet the striking vehicle of similiar weight that was traveling at 45 mph had it's front airbag deploy. I told them that if the force was sufficeint to cause a front air bag deployment. It seems that the side air bag is where the danger of injury is even greater. Should have deployed even more readily. They have not answered me because they know that their equipment failed to function properly. I sustained head injuries that could have been prevented if the air bag would have deployed. I still have double vision and will require eye surgery to hopefully correct my vision problem. Please investigate this matter so that BMW will not make any other person a victim. Mr.

Airbag light stays on all the time. This happened the first time in November 1999. Dealership analyzed the fault on their computer and said it was a problem with the driver's side seatbelt recepticle. This was replaced under warranty. In June of 2001, airbag lite came on again. Dealership diagnosed the problem as a short in the driver's side seatbelt receptacle. Replacement cost is $266. 00. I said they replaced the same part a year and a half ago. The said the warranty on parts is one year. I called BMW of north America and requested help with the repair. They said the parts warranty is one year. I said it's a major safety component of the vehicle and its been replaced once already. There's obviously a problem with the part they manufacture. Without the sensor in the seatbelt receptacle functioning, the airbag will not deploy in a crash. They replied, parts warranty is one year.
