The airbag light just turned on on me, I was looking to see if there was a recall on it, but since there isn-??t, I want to make sure I-??m not the only one with this problem. Also the seat belt light is on, I clicked all seat belts in, and the light remains on.

I started overheating and loosing alot a power

The passenger restraint system is malfunctioning, which may affect the airbag. It does not recognize that the passenger has their seat belt on. Red lights are flashing and it states that the passenger restraint system is malfunctioning. I feel that the manufacturer should provide repapirs for a safety system at no charge. Not sure if it is a bad sensor or what. This happens when the car is turned on and a passenger is seated with their seat belt on. Date below is approximate. I have not taken it into a BMW dealership yet because over the phone, they said it may cost about $1,400 to fix.

Seat sensor occupancy mat malfunction: Why is BMW not voluntarily recalling or extending this widespread known issue bmws? this seems to be a common problem across many models of bmws, forums are filled with so many complaints. After market manufacturers have created modules to bypass this sensor, which apparently is going to cause hazardous condition for some of the owners. There's a constant display on the dashboard that says, "pass-restraint system malfunction". apparently it's quite a common issue across many bmws and unfortunately BMW has not acknowledged it for all models and have done the recall for limited model between 2006 and 2007, 2008 was later added but my car was actually manufactured in 2009 so I believe this recall needs to be extended beyond 2008. On the forums, I saw and read owners of 2011 and 2012 also reporting this issue.

Occupancy mat in passenger seat failed, which results in lack of airbag function. Same part number (52 10 7 244 128) is part of voluntary recall (17V-428) for 2006-2007 model year vehicles. I content the same issue extends into later years and should receive the same level of support from BMW.

Takata recall - I think air bag and seat belt warning lights are on all the time. BMW says there is no recall affecting this. Both stationary and moving.

- San Jose, CA, USA

Due to hot weather condition (>85F), if the car parks outside more than 4 hours, then go to vehicle to start vehicle, both seat belt light and passenger airbag off light are on even during driving. But, after parking vehicle overnight or weather below 70F, there is no issue at all. It seems like the sensors to sensitive the hot temperature. It is safety critical issue and had to find out in dealer. BMW said to me it is out of warranty. This is sensor specification issue which is not handle high temperature. BMW should be responsible!
