Front passenger seat mat sensor faulty leaving the front passenger without airbag protection. I'll install a bypass device because they are common and inexpensive and available because so many bmws have this issue. The bypass device will allow the passenger airbags to deploy whether a passenger is in the seat or not. The years 2006 and 2007 saw recall on the passenger seat sensor. This needs to be addressed.

The BMW I am driving does not have an adjustment for the seat belt height. The seat belt does not properly fit me as I am 5' 2". it comes across my neck, not my shoulder, no matter how I adjust the seat. It is uncomfortable and may pose a safety risk. There has been no particular incident or accident. I am making this complaint to let you know that there may be a future problem.
