| Description of the problem | When a passenger sits in the passenger seat, the airbag light will illuminate on the dash. Bmw says there was a recall and extended warranty issued, but not for my vin number. I fear that they did not recall all of the cars that would be affected by the faulty airbag sensor mat. I have no other option than to pay $2,000 to have the mat replaced. The service assistant even told me that it was the same issue that the recalled/extended warranty cars were having with the seat mat. I do not understand why they would not recall all of the affected vehicles. It is a major safety issue. |
