My car is seeing error lights for the passenger restraint system, and the dealer informed me that I should replace the OC3 mat at a cost of $2021. I see that this part is covered under recall for some similar age 525xi models, so I am unclear why this problem doesn't extend to my vehicle if this is a common problem with these models. Is this under evaluation for a possible future recall?

Passenger restraint failure warning came up on my 2007 525I. This has been a problem on previous models but after taking my vehicle into the dealership they informed me it would not be covered and would cost me roughly $2000 to repair. This is a severe safety issue as nobody can ride in the passenger seat. This should be covered with the other vehicles.

I want to express my disappointment at the lack of urgency shown by BMW in addressing my concerns with regards to the recall issued due to malfunctioning of the front air bag seat occupancy sensor mat. My car had this problem in mid Dec 2013, just before the recall notice was issued. Since this malfunction was safety related, I rushed to get the car repaired immediately. My local BMW dealer did not have the sensor module available; therefore, I had to get the repair done from the certified BMW service professional where I incurred an expense of $851.84. I have been following up with BMW since January to get paid for this repair and have made repeated calls (on dates 3/26, 4/15, 6/9) but every time I get told that I have to wait to get this payment. Unfortunately, I have run out of patience. How can you make your loyal customers go through this disgraceful "run around?" when I purchased a BMW, I signed for high levels of quality and customer service. The company has failed me on both counts. I have lost patience and want everyone to know about this sub par service provided by BMW.

I had an on & off issue since last week of this year about the airbag & seatbelt warning being illuminated on the dashboard & overhead console of my 2007 BMW 530 xi. It will stay on for a while as I start the car but will turn off by itself after driving a few miles. Now since last week the warning light stays on. The idrive screen shows " pass. Restraints system fault in passenger-restraints system affecting the airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear the seatbelt. Have the system checked by BMW service center". I did some research online about this issue & found out that there is recall NHTSA campaign number: 13V564000. I called BMW of tenafly and informed them about the issue I'm having on my vehicle but I was told that the VIN# of my car is not associated with the recall even though it falls into the same category of make, model & year of vehicles being recalled with the same problem. This is a very serious defect and definitely a safety concern that needs to be addressed.
