Description of the problem	Front passenger seat caught fire and burnt a hole from bottom up, took to the mechanic and he said it was from the airbag sensor that caught it fire, i was getting hair done at6 pm in evening, came out i hour later and smelt fire, looked and there was hole in seat, turned on air and rolled down windows, waived a magazine over it and made sure it was out. Drove home about 10 minutes away and air bag light came on. Tried to call bmw they were closed, went to my mechanic next morning he told me it was faulty to call bmw, i called bmw plaza and they told me tough they wouldnt do anything. I hated the hole so went to autozone to get something to repair it which made it look worse... Been looking on line for seats very expensive. My boss told me as well that should be directed to attorney general which i messaged from missouri and us attorney general. This could of been worse, if i would of been longer arriving to my car it could of caught fire possibly or even worse my daughter could of been there and burnt. If this would of been winter with the heated seat on she could of been severely burnt, maybe dead. This should of never happened.
