Description of the problem	I'm the owner of a 2006 series 3 bmw. . This is a safety issued concerning nhtsa campaign id number: 08v384000 for the recall of the passenger seat mat defect. "in this situation the front passenger air bags will not deploy even if a sufficiently severe accident would occur and occupant protection provided by the system would not be possible". A passenger restraint malfunction is displayed on my vehicle dashboard. Today bmw and subsequently the dealer refused to replace this part at not cost. According to bmw only a selected number of vehicles were affected by this problem. After reading reviews , blogs and previous complaints it is clear that bmw is refusing to service my car or any other of a potential road hazard with fatal consequences. The cost of over $1,300 should be carried by the company and not by their customers. Especially when it is clear that the airbag malfunction problems was a problem affecting more than the selected number of vehicles. Bmw should stop promoting vehicles with high safety ratings when is clear the quality of the products used for this matter do not meet the expected standards.
