While driving regularly the steering wheel makes a clicking noise and the airbag sensor is on. Vehicle was sent to the luxury motorsport dealership where the vehicle was purchased. Their phone number is 1-855-288-5488. And after they plugged in the computer to check up, the diagnostic comes out as airbag, wabco 441 120 008 0 / 4411200080 steering angle sensor damaged.
When making turns I hear a clicking noise. Going into turn and coming out of turn noise can be heard from the steering wheel itself. This happens only when making turns anywhere. After investigating come to my attention that the clock spring just for no reason breaks connection which make the air bag restraint light com on and you loose control of any functions on steering wheel. Functions like cruise control, radio control...etc. Connections inside a steering wheel shouldn't be snapping off if they were designed correctly in a 2013 vehicle. I believe this may have something to do with airbag recall as well. In that these part were either not installed correctly or they were just faulty.
My wife was turning hear steering wheel and heard a "click" and then she got some lights on her dashboard. Upon further inspection, the "clock spring" failed. From reading online this seems to be a fairly common failure with 2013 BMW 5 series. It is a serious design flaw because when it fails the following items are no longer operable (horn, airbag or any other items that are located on the steering wheel).
My 2013 BMW horn went out a week ago, I paid almost 300 dollars to have it fix and my brake fluid changed. A week later my horn went out again once my driver restraint system light came on. Once this light came on my cruise control button stopped working as well as my horn. Which is everything connected to the steering wheel this could be an airbag problem BMW has called certain models of these cars on recall which mine doesn't fall under this recall. This issue is a common issue among BMW 5 series models should be addressed these are important safety issues.BMW takes no responsibility for their faulty wiring, bad airbags, or any other safety issues that are common problems amongst their vehicles. My vehicle is a 2013 model and it is now 2017 parts that shouldn't be malfunctioning until 10 years or better have occurred. Driver restraint issues are safety hazards faulty wiring is a safety hazard. Thanks for your time.
