REGARDING TO A BMW RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ISSUE, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MY BMW 325I FROM 2006, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR FAILED OUT OF THE SUDDEN. SHOULD BMW COVER THIS OR DO I HAVE TO PAY THE REPLACEMENT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET? *TR

RECALL SUBJECT: FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT PROTECTION MAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS I WENT TO THE LOCAL BMW SHOP TO HAVE THEM CHECK WHY MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CHECKED A LIST OF SOME SORT IN THEIR SYSTEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR (A 2006 BMW 325I) SHOULD BE RECALLED AND BROUGHT IN TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT BMW NORTH AMERICA REGARDING A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR MY BMW. I CONTACTED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA LLC AND THEY ASKED ME IF I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS THE SECOND OWNER AND HAD NOT BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A BMW DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT IS WHY I HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) TO HELP OBTAIN A RECALL NOTICE. INFORMATION FROM A PUBLISHED SOURCE STATES THAT A CONSEQUENCE OF THE DEFECT IS, SHOULD THE SYSTEM FAIL, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD BE DEACTIVATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. I NEED AND ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN OBTAINING A RECALL LETTER FROM BMW. THANK YOU,

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONE WEEK AGO WITH THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT LIGHTS ON THE DASH, AFTER PLENTY OF RESEARCH THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON ONLY THE SPORT SEATS. AFTER EVERYTHING I READ EVEN THE NON SPORTS SEATS, LIKE MINE ARE HAVING THE ISSUES AS WELL. BMW NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH ALL MODELS. I HAVE NO CLUE AT THIS POINT IF THE AIRBAGS WILL EVEN GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SITE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP *TR

BRAKES FAILED TODAY WITH 19 YEAR OLD SON DRIVING MY BMW. THANKFULLY, HE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND CRUISE TO A STOP. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT BMW SAYS THE OIL SUPPLY FOR THE VACUUM PUMP THAT OPERATES THE BRAKE BOOSTER USED FOR POWER ASSIST CAN BE INTERRUPTED, AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PRESS MUCH HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO COME TO A STOP. BMW HAS RECALLED OVER 300,000 CARS SINCE 2010 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM - EXCEPT THE 3-SERIES. ALTHOUGH THEY DID ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE 2012-2014 3-SERIES SEDANS IN SEPTEMBER 2013. THANKFUL HE WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT -- WE DO REALIZE, HOWEVER, THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. BMW SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES (SINCE, ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC THIS IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM). *TR
