Example complaints

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

“This is an addition to our previous recall problems as all electrical shut off as well. Here are the additional documents to be added to public record that indeed 6 recalls were recorded to our registered VIN and yet was told Bmw had no obligation to adhere to these documents?! Its also crazy that we have tons of documents and yet we are allowed to show a mbyte at a time. How convenient.”

NHTSA complaint #10822713, filed 2016-01, 142,700 miles

“Air bag and seat belt warning lights on dash remain lit at all times. Additionally, the passenger airbag disabled indicator remains lit at all times. There is a recall campaign for the passenger seat sensor mat issue which caused these problems, yet apparently not for my VIN. The disabled passenger seat airbag is a major safety issue, and clearly my VIN should be part of the recall.”

“When I was driving and at the stop light, when I was about to go and the air bags came on and the sound ding, ding, ding, and the air bags light came on the dash? When I take it to my local shop and let them run ob2 scanner and it came up on the ob2 scanner it was the passenger side air bags mat sensor.”

“When a person is seated in the passenger seat, the seat belt and large airbag warning lights come on the dash and stay on. Once the passenger exits the car, the lights go off. I see there are recalls for the 2006 328I but not for the 2007. I am concerned that in the event of an accident, the air bag will not deploy.”

NHTSA complaint #10552777, filed 2013-11, 81,294 miles

“I have a 2007 Bmw 328I and while driving down the interstate my air bag and restraint lights came on. I know there are recalls on them but when I add my VIN it is not one of them. I am a little worried that if I were to get into a accident the airbags will not deploy.”
