| Description of the problem | 2006 bmw 325i with 125,000 miles and standard seats. Front passenger airbag and seatbelt light has been illuminated for last year. Finally took in today after learning about recall. Even though same problem, mine not covered under recall because mine was produced in june 2006, not during the timeframe of the recall. Dealer gave me report saying, "replace seat mat (found seat mat faulty)" for cost of $1056. 25. My advisor at the dealership suggested i contact bmw customer service and ask for a "goodwill" repair with either 75% or 100% covered since my vehicle sits just outside the recall dates. Denied!! Reason denied by[xxx] #8408 of bmw customer relations: 1)i am not original owner 2) veh out of warranty too long (had extended warranty until 100,00 so it is 25000 out ) and 3) veh has over 100,000 miles! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
