I bought my car at around 50K miles, after manufacturer' warranty had expired. It was fine for about a month after my purchase. One day, after driving from the store, my car indicated I needed to fasten my seatbelt. I was fastened in. So I stopped and restarted the car, thinking it was some weird electrical problem. I restarted the car and the same thing happened. I got home and the next time I got into my car to drive it, the display now shows" driver restraint system malfunction: Continue wearing safety belt. Consult nearest service center." I took the car to the dealership. The warranty I purchased does not cover seatbelts or airbag sensors. The dealer gave me a cost of replacement: $820.52! I have read that others have had this issue. Yet, there is no recall. Why would it be okay for seatbelts and airbag sensors to stop working just after 50K miles?

Driver of a 2012 BMW 328I, was making a left turn out of a parking lot when her vehicle was struck on the driver's side (roughly the middle of the vehicle) by a Chevrolet Blazer that was travelling at a rate of at least 40 mph. None of the BMW's airbags deployed. As a result of the airbag failure, the driver's head went through the window of the driver's door, resulting in physical and neurological injuries. BMW states that the airbag system is/was working properly (I.e. - BMW asserts the airbag system should not have deployed in this situation). Driver's complaint is that airbag deployment would have protected her and prevented said injuries. Thus, either the airbag malfuntioned and failed to deploy, or it is designed improperly. If there were ever a situation that warranted a side airbag to deploy, this accident presents those facts.

Passenger side air bag disengages if passenger sits on any type cushion. Passenger side air bag disengaged light is on if passenger is in the passenger seat sitting on any type of cushion or padding. The air bag can disengage if passenger wears a padded winter coat. This BMW 328I originally was delivered with the air bag engaged with or without a passenger in the passenger seat, the passenger side air bag disabled light was always off and the air bag was engaged. BMW will not restore to the original delivered condition. The passenger sitting on any cushion or padding is in danger of injury because of a disengaged passenger air bag. This was not the original delivered condition....updated11/21/12
