2006 BMW X5 SAV Complaints

THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT FAILED SO THE AIRBAGS LIGHT STAYED ON AS WELL AS THE FASTEN SEATBELT. TRANSPORT CANADA ISSUED A RECALL # 2008307 AUG. 26, 2008 CONFIRMING THE PROBLEM AND THAT"THE OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT WILL BE GRANTEDA WARRANTY EXTENSION OF 10 YEARS" BMW WILL NOT HONOR THIS. I HAD TO ENTER WASHINGTON STATE AS CANADA IS NOT LISTED. CITY IS SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, V4A8C1. *TR

TAIL LIGHTS ASSEMBLY (SOCKETS) ON BOTH SIDES BURNS AND MELTS EASILY CAUSING BULBS TO DIE. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, I CALLED BMW AND THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR A APPOINTMENT THE FOLLOWING WEEK. ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND SHOWED THAT THE FRONT SEAT MAT WAS FAULTY. I PAID $1400 TO HAVE IT FIXED. FIVE MONTHS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY WHEN IT'S NEEDED. *TR

MY 2006 X5 BMW 4.4I HAS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WHICH FAILS TO IDENTIFY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THUS DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. *TR

2006 BMW X5. SEAT HEATER TURNED ON. SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER IN CABIN. SMOKE. BURN TO DRIVER BACK LEG. *TR

I'VE RECENTLY (LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO), PURCHASED A 2006 BMW X5 WITH HEATED SEATS. JUST THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE LESS THAN 30F, I TURN ON THE HEATED SEATS TO THE NUMBER II POSITION AND AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I START SEEING SMOKE/STEAM RISING UP FROM MY PELVIC AREA. I COULD SMELL IT WAS ALMOST LIKE PLASTIC BURNING. I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEATS AND PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND AFTER INSPECTION, THE LOWER SEAT LEFT SIDE BOLSTER HAD A BURN MARK IN IT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. ALTHOUGH THE CAR COMES WITH ONLY A 90DAY/3000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FROM THE PURCHASING DEALER, I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT BUT I CERTAINLY PLAN TO BUT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY WILL DENY COVERAGE FOR ANY REPAIRS. *TR
