AIR BAGS
A PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN MY WIFE'S 2006 BMW 530I FOR THE PAST YEAR. DESPITE THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN (ACTION NUMBER EA08001 AND PE07045), BMW SAYS THIS CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A 2006 BMW 530I WITH THE SAME AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON. BMW WILL FIX MY PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT MY CAR HAS "COMFORT SEATS" WHILE MY WIFE'S CAR HAS "SPORTS SEATS." OBVIOUSLY, THE DEFECTIVE PART IS PRESENT ON BOTH VEHICLES AS WELL AS ON THE OTHER BMW MODELS AND YEARS IDENTIFIED IN YOUR RECALL CAMPAIGN. WHY DID YOUR RECALL STOP SHORT OF FIXING ALL PROBLEMS? *TR

NOTHING CRAZY HAPPENED, WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MESSAGE POPPED ON MY SCREEN "PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION". IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY BMW DEALERSHIP AT NO COST SINCE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DO IT. *TR
