2012 BMW X5 Air Bags Problems

Front passenger side occupancy seat sensor is bad and computer detected an air bag malfunction. Timing chain broke without warning.

I received a message of Restraint system malfunction and when I called the local dealer I was told the part is not availabel anywhere in the USA. What am I supposed to do with this. I was told the air bags and seatbelts may malfunction. The vehicle only has 85k miles. its a 2012. At this point who will take the car as a trade? It's not safe and they don't have an answer except to say I'm [XXX] and i guess you need to get a new vehicle!! Can you believe this? I have to get a whole new vehicle because they don't have a part! You can't make this stuff up. I spoke with BMW USA and was told they only honor 4yr and 50k miles and after 10years they are not responsible for parts to be made. The I was told to get it further diagnosed to the tune of 250.00 so they can "MAYBE" have the parts manufactured. What the heck! this company is saying our cars are garbage after 10yrs! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehical randomly shuts off, it all safety systems warning lamps come on l, like ABS, Airbag, and traction control. Found wiring harness laying in a pool of water in the rear right cargo compartment. Rain water leaking from sunroof collected in compartment. The harness contains wires for the the vehicles CAN buss systems the water causes corrosion in the harness, which causes all sorts of problems that could happen at any time like the vehicle shutting off or the airbag or abs warning light coming on.

We hit a deer while driving at 55 MPH. We were wearing seatbelts and not injured, it was a major frontal impact, the car is probably totalled. When we stopped we noticed multiple warning messages on the display: * restraint system failure * passenger airbag failure * pre-tensioner failure It appears that the car detected the collision and tried to activate the restraint systems, but nothing activated. No air bags deployed, and we did not feel the pre-tensioners activate.

SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR BROKEN AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM OF BMW

SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR BROKEN AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM OF BMW

THE SENSOR (TO DETECT IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT) UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND REQUIRES THE SEAT BELT TO BE ACTIVATED TO SILENCE THE WARNING BEEPS, EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED, SO IT'S CLEARLY NOT FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. LEADS ME TO QUESTION WHETHER THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH OUR 2007 BMW 530 AND THAT WAS FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY BMW AND WE WERE OFFERED A FREE REPAIR FOR THIS ITEM. KEEP WAITING ON THEM TO INCLUDE OUR X5. IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 1 YEAR SINCE RECALL HAPPENED FOR MY VEHICLE, AND AFTER REPEATED CONTACTS WITH THE DEALER, THEY ARE STILL NOT REPLACING MY AIR BAG!

I RECEIVED AN INTIAL LETTER BACK ON 2/5/16 THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A YEAR AND ALL I RECEIVE IS LETTERS LETTING ME KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL. I THINK THAT THE STATEMENT "EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE COULD CAUSE RUPTURE...RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS...POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH", IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED IN A MORE REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. OVER A YEAR IS TOO LONG AND I BELIEVE THAT BMW NEEDS TO MAKE AN ALTERNATE PLAN IF THIS IS NOT/OR CAN'T BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I TAKE/PICK UP MY AND OTHER'S CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS AND REQUIRE THE USE OF THE FRONT SEAT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE KNOWING THAT THIS BMW'S SAFETY EQUIPTMENT IS NOT SAFE. IN THE LATEST LETTER I RECEIVED IT STATED THAT IF BMW WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME TO NOTIFY THE NHTSA - THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING.

"TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL" WE WERE ADVISED OF THIS PROBLEM OVER 1 YEAR AGO BY OUR BMW SERVICE ADVISOR AND WE APPLIED FOR A NEW REPLACEMENT AT THAT TIME. WE LIVE IN CLEARWATER FLORIDA AND THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN THE SUN ALL THE TIME. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD THAT IS ROUTINELY A RIDER IN THIS CAR AND WE FEEL THAT THE BAG SHOULD BE REPLACED OR DISCONNECTED UNTIL A REPLACEMENT BAG CAN BE INSTALLED. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAVE ALSO CONTACTED BMW CORPORATE ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED! THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO ME OR MY FAMILY IS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE HELP US AS CONSUMERS TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THE AFFECTED CARS, EVEN IF YOU MUST LIMIT THOSE THAT THEY CAN SELL FOR NEW VEHICLES! THANK YOU. *TR
