2006 BMW 330I Air Bags Problems

I was getting ready to leave my home and both front airbags deployed on me, which also resulted in my windshield breaking. I did not hit anything with the vehicle. I then looked up the VIN and noticed the 2 open recalls one is for the airbags, I contacted BMW left the service manager numerous voicemails he never returned any of my calls. Then I contacted BMW North America, I got the vehicle towed to BMW of Carslbad just before Thanksgiving 2024 I just picked up my vehicle on January 6 2025 and they did not fix the recalls on the vehicle. I have been without a vehicle since before Thanksgiving!! I have health issues and I am missing appointments. I am on a fixed income my husband just passed away. I need someone to help me I keep getting the run around. If there are open recalls they need to be fixed I don't understand.

My airbag light is on. I checked the website, and realize that there is a recall for Takata airbags, however, when I input my VIN#, my vehicle does not show the active recall. There is an alert on the website that says "DO NOT DRIVE"....I cannot get any assistance from Takata when I call; they keep telling me that my car is not included. I don't believe it is safe to drive my car, and can't get any help.

Passénger seat occupancy seat mat has failed and passenger air bag system does not work. Diagnosed recently- repair scheduled soon for cost of $1588.35 It looks like there may have been a recall in 2017 but I don’t have any record of being notified or having it fixed.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN UNEXPLAINED AND UNREPAIRABLE DEFECT RELATED TO THE MAIN AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT MODULE, BMW PART NUMBER 65779184432 (CURRENT VERSION); BELIEVE PART 65770394017 APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE AS-BUILT. THE CONTROL MODULE GENERATES INTERNAL CONTROL UNIT FAULT CODE 93D7. BOTH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND SEATBELT LIGHT ARE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. ACCORDING TO DEALER TECHNICIAN, THE CODE IS LOCKED IN AND CANNOT BE CLEARED. ADVICE PROVIDED WAS THAT THE UNIT CAN BE REPLACED AND THEN RECODED AT ESTIMATED COST OF APPROXIMATELY $2,000. IF A REPAIR CAN BE EFFECTUATED WITH AN UPDATED PART, THEN IT APPEARS THAT MY CAR AND PERHAPS ALL OTHER SIMILARLY AGED VEHICLES HAVE A DEFECTIVE MAIN AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT MODULE. A FAULTY AIRBAG MODULE WOULD BE A DEFECT IN A CRITICAL DEFECT IN A SAFETY SYSTEM'S PERFORMANCE THAT UNREASONABLY INCREASES RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FAULT THUS POSES A RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. FURTHER, BASED ON OPENLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION, IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES HAVE SIMILAR, POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE, MAIN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULES. FINALLY, IT APPEARS THAT BMW UPDATED THIS PART APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES IN A 6-YEAR PERIOD, WHICH IS ABOUT DOUBLE THE UPDATE FREQUENCY FOR COMPARABLE VEHICLE--NOTING THAT THIS IS BASED ONLY ON MY LIMITED REVIEW. REGARDLESS, THAT DATA SUGGEST THAT BMW HAS HAD SOME AWARENESS THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE HAD PERFORMANCE DIFFICULTIES. THANK YOU.

SINCE 2014 I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OEM RIMS FOR CRACKING. THIS HAS CAUSED ME MUCH INCONVENIENCE AND TIME AND MONEY TO REPLACE NOT ONLY THE RIMS BUT AT TIMES THE TIRE ITSELF. BMW'S FAILURE TO DISCLOSE THE FACT THAT THE BMW RTF ALLOY WHEELS PREMATURELY CRACK IS ESPECIALLY EGREGIOUS IN LIGHT OF THE SAFETY HAZARD RESULTING FROM DRIVING WITH A CRACKED WHEEL, DUE TO THE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE THAT TYPICALLY ENSUES. MOREOVER, THE POSSIBILITY OF A LOSS IN TIRE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING THE SUBJECT VEHICLES WOULD BE A MATERIAL FACT TO A REASONABLE CONSUMER. A CASE WAS AWARDED FOR THE Z CAR MODEL IN THE US AND ANOTHER FOR MY MODEL USING THIS SIMILAR ARGUMENT ABOUT THE RIMS IN THE U.K. BUT BMW REFUSES TO ENTERTAIN IT THE BMW ALLOY WHEELS ARE SUBJECT TO CRACKING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AND NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE WHEEL AND SOMETIMES THE TIRE, AT SUBSTANTIAL COST TO THE CONSUMER. MOST RECENTLY, AND MOST ALARMING, I RECEIVED A "FAULT IN PASSENGER-RESTRAINT SYSTEM AFFECTING MY AIRBAG" WHEN I STARTED MY CAR UP TWO-WEEKS AGO. I HAVE DONE PLENTY OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A BMW SAFETY RECALL WAS MADE ON THE EXACT YEAR AND MODEL (2006 BMW 330I), BUT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT DID NOT COME WITH THE SPECIFIC SPORT SEATS, IT WAS CALLED UNDER. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF SO MANY INDIVIDUALS IN BMW FORUMS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITHOUT HAVING THE "SPORT SEATS" BUT WE SHARE THE SAME MODEL, MAKE AND YEAR AS THE ONE NHTSA ORIGINALLY GOT RECALLED RECALLED, WHY MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY ON BMWS END AND NO COINCIDENCE. SHOULD I GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE HELP!!! HTTP://WWW.NBCNEWS.COM/ID/26179745/

I GOT HOME FROM AN OUTTING WITH FRIENDS AND "PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION" APPEARED ON MY SCREEN. DID ALITTLE RESEARCH, MY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG WILL EITHER DEPLOY METAL SHARDS OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL INCASE OF AN ACCIDENT. OR THE SEATBELT WILL NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ARE "VIN SPECIFIC" AND CAN ONLY DO MY DRIVER SIDE. BUT EVERYBODY SEEMS TO ONLY HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE THE SENSOR IN STOCK THAT CAN SAVE A LIFE, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THE JOB JUST BECAUSE MY "VIN" DOES NOT MATCH FOR THE RECALL IN THEIR COMPUTERS! *TR

I HAD BOTH AIR BAGS REPLACED UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL AND NOW I'M GETTING A "PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" ERROR ON MY DISPLAY. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V384000 THAT IS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR BUT THE VIN IS NOT SHOWING THAT RECALL. THE ERROR HAPPENED JUST WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED AND IT SHOWS WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER WITH THE SEATBELT ON OR IF THE SEAT IS EMPTY. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS WELL FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CALLED BMW AND WAS TOLD THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED EITHER. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR TOGGLES BETWEEN ACTIVE AND INACTIVE REGARDLESS OF WEIGHT, OR PRESENCE OF AN INDIVIDUAL ON THE SEAT... WITH A PASSENGER ON IT, IT WILL ALSO TOGGLE BETWEEN ACTIVE/INACTIVE REGARDLESS OF THE WEIGHT OF THE PERSON (EVEN AN ADULT PASSENGER WILL DISABLE PASSENGER AIRBAG).. SEEMS TO BE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF THIS FAILURE AND YET RECALL IS NOT ACTIVE. THERE IS NO CERTAINTY AT THIS MOMENT IF AIRBAG WILL BE OPERATIONAL IN A CRASH.

"TAKATA RECALL" BMW TAKING TOO LONG TO CORRECT THE AIR BAG RECALL ISSUE. SINCE MARCH 2016 I'VE LOST THE ABILITY USE THE CAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR AND THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DEATH DUE TO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR IS NOW IN PNO STATUS. BMW SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TOWING FEES , TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEIR FACILITIES TO CORRECT AIR BAG INFLATOR.

IN 2014, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT BMW KNEW OF A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS IN THEIR 2006 330I VEHICLES- ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH SPORT SEATS. THE REPORT I READ STATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY THE END OF 2014. I CONTACTED BMW AND THEY CONFIRMED, BY EMAIL, THERE WOULD BE A RECALL FOR SPECIFIC 2006 330I VEHICLES WITH SPORT SEATS. UPON CHECKING A RECALL WEBSITE, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DESPITE THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM THE PROBLEM THAT INITIATED THE RECALL.

I HAD A FULL SIZED ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. WHILE DRIVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF AS WELL AS THE " PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT.

BEFORE THIS INCIDENT THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON BRIEFLY BY ITSELF WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT REALLY ACTED UP. I CHECKED THE VIN TO SEE IF IT HAD ANY RECALLS AND IT SHOWED 0. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR RECALLS IN GENERAL AND DID SEE ONE FOR THIS ISSUE SAME MODEL AND YEAR BUT STANDARD SEATS NOW I HAVE THE UPGRADED SEATS BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THE SAME.

HAD A WARNING LIGHT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I TOOK IT TO MOMENTUM BMW IN WEST HOUSTON AND THEY REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAT FOR A COST OF $1,199. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED A NHTSA 13V564000 CAMPAIGN. I CALLED BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-525-7417) AND GAVE THEM MY VIN #. THEY SAID DUE TO PROBLEMS THAT HAD OCCURRED WITH PASSENGER AIRBAGS ON THIS MODEL, THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS UNDER THIS 13V564000 CAMPAIGN WHICH STARTED IN JANUARY 2014. MOMENTUM BMW SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN OCTOBER 2009 AND THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I THINK THE CURRENT PROBLEM DOESN'T RELATE TO WHAT MOMENTUM FIXED IN OCTOBER 2009, OR THAT THE PARTS THAT WERE USED WERE ALSO FAULTY OR DEFECTIVE. I WOULD LIKE BMW TO PAY FOR MY COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS BMW NEW FROM THE DEALER AROUND JUNE 2006 (PLEASE NOTE THE MILEAGE IS AN ESTIMATE) I'M WRITING TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO MY CAR RELATING TO THE A POTENTIAL FAULTY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. THE PASSENGER INDICATOR LIGHT FOR "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" IS ACTIVATED DESPITE A PASSENGER BEING IN THE CAR. OVER THE YEARS, THE LIGHT RANDOMLY ACTIVATED WHEN A PASSENGER SAT IN THE SEAT. HOWEVER, IT WOULD TURN OFF AT TIMES SO I PRESUMED I HAD HIT A BUTTON ON THE CAR STEERING COLUMN FOR A CHILDREN'S SEAT WHICH CAUSED THE LIGHT TO ACTIVATE OR SOMETHING ELSE PERHAPS. BECAUSE I RARELY HAD PASSENGERS, I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION. THE LIGHT WOULD DID NOT STAY LIT FOR MONTHS ON END. HOWEVER, NOW THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT REMAINS ACTIVATED ALL THE TIME WHICH CAUSED ME TO INVESTIGATE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2006 3 SERIES BMW MODELS AND MORE FOR THIS PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY, MY CAR IS A 2006 330I BMW WITH SPORT SEATS. I HAVE CALLED THE BMW DEALER, AND BMW NORTH AMERICA, BUT THEY ONLY CHECK THE VIN DATABASE AND TO DATE HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED FURTHER. HOWEVER, I HAVE ALERTED THEM THAT IT APPEARS BMW MAY HAVE FAILED TO RECALL A NUMBER OF AFFECTED VEHICLES GIVEN THE MANY COMPLAINTS I REVIEWED POSTED ON THE WEB BY 2006 BMW 330I OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES AIRBAG DEACTIVATING, BUT RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE FROM BMW. ONE OWNER STATED HE HAD (AT HIS OWN EXPENSE) REPLACED THE (DEFECTIVE) INSTALLATION/PART, (THE PART HE REMOVED WAS THE SAME ONE AS THE ONE UNDER RECALL BY BMW), BUT BMW LIKE WITH THE OTHER 2006 330I OWNERS WILL NOT BEAR THE REPLACEMENT COST BECAUSE HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V-384. I CALLED BMW ABOUT HIS RECALL AND THEY STATED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND MULTIPLE OTHERS ARE HAVING IS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, CONDITION, AND DESCRIPTION AS CALLED OUT IN CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V-384. I DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT BMW MAY NOT HAVE THE AFFECTED VEHICLES LOADED CORRECTLY IN THEIR SYSTEM. FOR EXAMPLE THEY TELL YOU THAT THE SPORT SEAT IS NOT COVERED (WHICH I HAVE), BUT IF YOU READ THE LETTERS FROM BMW TO NHTSA, MANY SPORT SEATS ARE COVERED. I SUSPECT THE DATABASE BMW IS USING TO TELL IF A CAR IS COVERED OR NOT MAY NOT BE ACCURATE COMPARED TO THE VEHICLE CATEGORIES LISTED IN THE NHTSA FILINGS. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SAFETY SENSOR (OC3 SEAT MAT) HAD PREMATURE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING WITH PASSENGER. FAILURE RESULTS IN DASH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATION AS WELL DISABLEMENT OF PASSENGER AIR BAG. AIR BAG DISABLEMENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITY, SYSTEM SHOULD FORCE THE AIR BAG ON IF SENSOR FAILS. RELATED RECALL IS IN AFFECT FOR SIMILAR YEAR MODELS BUT BMWNA BELIEVES THIS IS AN UNRELATED BECAUSE THE SEAT TYPES ARE DIFFERENT (SPORT SEAT VS. STANDARD SEAT). BMW (ALONG WITH SUB COMPONENT SUPPLIER) SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BY EXTENDING COMPENSATION TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAD TO VOLUNTARILY REPLACE FAULTY SENSORS AND RECALLING 2006 330I SPORT SEAT OWNERS AS WELL.
