Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Passenger sat in passenger seat and airbag light went off. Was told by dealer it was because of a bad sensor mat for my make and model but not my car specific.”

NHTSA complaint #10648988, filed 2014-10, 139,000 miles

“Front passenger seat belt light and airbag light stay on even when a passenger is seated in car. Bmw diagnosed a problem with the passenger seat occupancy mat. This is the same problem as the 2008 recall, but my model is not included in the recall. I spoke with the office of the president of Bmw who says that they are not responsible since my car was not involved in the recall. They said it is a different part that was responsible for the mat not working properly. I feel that since my car has the same safety problem, even if it is a different part, it should be fixed by Bmw without cost to me.”

“My vehicle was parked in the driveway in front of my house and had not been driven for several days. I walked outside and noticed the engine fan was running so I opened the driver‘s door and noticed white smoke coming from the glove box compartment. …”
