2006 BMW 330XI airbag problems

AIR BAGS

Takata Airbag Safety Recall Vin:[XXX] I live in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania which according to BMW and NHTSA is Zone B. My vehicle has a built date of 10/19/2005 330xi e90 model. The time in which the degradation to the propellant poses an unreasonable risk to safety is stated as a 10-15 year time frame. My car is almost 18 years old but BMW has NOT prioritized my vehicle's airbag. My vin number might not have made the list for zone A but its in zone B. I should have to wait until someone gets killed or injured. My name is [XXX] and can be reached at [XXX] My BMW dealer is Otto's BMW West Chester, PA 610399-8067 Please demand that BMW comply with the recall information listed on clearly on your NHTSA site and BMW of America's site. (Site Last updated 01/14/2019) Thank you. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

We took our recently purchased BMW 2006 330xi in for recalls and a few fixes. However, the BMW service center wasn't able to fix one of the issues through the recall process since it doesn't show up for our vehicle. However, everything that I read suggests that it was a recall for this make and model. We are not sure if it was supposedly addressed before we purchased the vehicle and it is now a reoccurring issue or it is a first-time issue. The airbag/seatbelt warning light is present for passenger seat occupancy detector faults. The BMW service center said it was the sensor in the front passenger seat and offered to fix it for $1000 plus. We opted to not fix it until we checked further into the situation. The light for the passenger airbag saying that it is off is currently lit, and the airbag/seatbelt light remains on at this time. Looking for more information on this issue.

DRIVER SIDE STAGE 1 AIRBAG MALFUNCTION OCCURRING IN MY VEHICLE WITH A DASH LIGHT. WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN FOR THIS RECALL, IT DOES NOT SHOW UP. BUT IT DOES SHOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2006 BMW 330XI'S AND OTHER 3 SERIES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR EVERY 2006-2011 BMW 3 SERIES BECAUSE IT AFFECTED ALL OF THE CARS. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF AND WHY IS IT NOT A RECALL FOR MY CAR AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT ARE COMPLAINING? THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU, A PERSON WHO DRIVES A 2006 BMW 330XI, AND DESERVES THEIR CAR RECALLED.

VEHICLE HAS 2 RECALLS, THE FIRST ONE BEING FOR A PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE CALLED BMW DENVER DOWNTOWN (303-954-4856) AND THUS FAR THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART FOR IT. WHEN ASKED FOR AN ETA, THE ONLY THING THEY ARE TELLING ME IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AN ETA, AND THAT THE PART MAY NEVER BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS THE ONLY BMW DEALER ANYWHERE NEAR MY AREA THAT IS ABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR ERROR DISPLAYED ON THE DASH, SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THE PART COVERED UNDER THE RECALL HAS ALREADY FAILED. BMW OF DENVER'S FAILURE TO PERFORM THIS RECALL IS PLACING MY FAMILY IN DANGER IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

RECENTLY THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSOR INDICATED A FAILURE. I CAN ATTRIBUTE SUCH FAILURE TO A DEFECTIVE SENSOR (PLACED IN THE SEAT MAT). WHEN I CONTACTED BMW USA, THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN [XXX]). I WOULD APPRECIATE THE NHTSA / DOT TO INVESTIGATE EXPANDING THE RECALL TO ALL E90 / 2006 BMW 330XI NOT JUST MODELS PRODUCED AFTER 12/ 2005. I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY VEHICLE IN 11/2005.
