TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 328. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS WERE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR MAT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 13V564000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE ELECTRICAL DOOR LOCK FAILED AND PREVENTED THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO UNLOCK CAR DOOR FROM INSIDE. *TR

UPON STARTING THE CAR THERE WAS A RAPID SOUND OF THE DOOR LOCKS, LOCKING AND OPENING SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN STOPPED. THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. CHECKED ALL THE FUSES BUT NONE WERE BLOWN. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH DID REPLACE THE #57 FUSE WITH A 20 AMP VS 15 AS SUGGESTED BUT STILL NOT WORKING. IF YOU MESS WITH IT LONG ENOUGH IT WILL UNLOCK BUT THE OTHER DOORS WILL BE LOCKED. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THIS HAPPENED , MYSELF OR THE OTHER OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT HARM TO US. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND BMW SHOULD TAKE SOME ACTION TO CORRECT THIS, AN OVERRIDE FIX OR OTHER SAFETY MEASURE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY VIEW! *TR

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION - WARNING ERROR IS ON AFTER MULTIPLES BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. AIRBAG IS NO LONGER WORKING SINCE THIS WARNING IS ON. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION WARMING ARE ON BUT STILL WORKING/ON. THE RIGHT REAR NIGHT LIGHT IS NOT WORKING BUT NO WARNING ERROR MESSAGE. WE CHANGED THE BULB BUT STILL NOT WORKING... PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH REMAIN LIT AT ALL TIMES. ADDITIONALLY, THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED" INDICATOR REMAINS LIT AT ALL TIMES. THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAT ISSUE WHICH CAUSED THESE PROBLEMS, YET APPARENTLY NOT FOR MY VIN. THE DISABLED PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND CLEARLY MY VIN SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

HI, I THINK, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT BMW HAS TO FIX. MY AUTOMATIC CAR LOCK GETS STUCK AND I CAN ONLY OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN. THE MANUAL LEVER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND BACK DOOR DOESN'T OPEN THE DOOR. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE STUCK AND SOME HOW MANUALLY THEY CRAWLED OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND I WAS WONDERING IF MY SON WAS 20YRS OLD, HOW CAN HE COME THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM THE BACK SEAT. BMW IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE CARS TO FIX THE MANUAL OVERRIDE WHEN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENER DOESN'T WORK. *TR
