X3 6-cyl

  • miles
In 2008 BMW recalled 200,000 vehicles because of faulty passenger occupancy sensors (NHTSA campaign number: 08V384000) including my vehicle, 2006 BMW X3. BMW claimed that the faulty part would be rectified by this recall. However, the exact same faulty sensor has again failed in my 2006 BMW X3 and I have a "air bag warning? light on my dash and the ?passenger air-bag-off? illuminated even when a passenger is seated. I took my vehicle to the dealership today and they confirmed the faulty passenger occupancy sensor requires replacement at $1800 but they will no longer replace under the recall. Why should I pay $1800 for an item that has failed again from an earlier recall issue? should not BMW take responsibility and replace it again"
