Takata recall- my airbag in the steering wheel has been replaced. The passenger seat mat sensor has had to be replaced 2X(1X under warranty) 1X I had to pay out of pocket and now a 3rd time (out of pocket) it has broken again. I believe this is a faulty part and should be covered under warranty. The vehicle was stationary each time this has broken.

Getting a hard warning for "passenger restraint system malfunction". apparently this has something to do with a sensor in the passenger seat going bad. This can cause injury or fatality as the passenger airbag will not deploy correctly. There has been a recall for this but my VIN was not included.

I took my BMW for an airbag recall to classic BMW on 6800 North dallas pkwy, plano, rx. They did not discuss any charges and supposedly they changed my airbag on the driver side for free. This was completed on June,5,2017. On June,13, 2017 my airbag sign started coming up. Has never had issues with my car in the past regarding air bag sign. Now classic BMW wants me to pay 180 dollars just to diagnose something they worked on. Now they are giving me on the text message a laundry list of items related to air bag. Whatever has happened is what they have damaged. I tried to work it with them and talk and explain. It seems they don't want to discuss it at all. My car was working very clean and properly.
