2006 BMW 330I Seat belts Problems

“Air bag and seat belt warning lights (red) came on indicating restraint systemn failure. Batter changed three months ago. Car taken in to shop and system reset thinking it was due to the battery being replaced. Both air bag and seat belt warning lights have come back on. My mechanic told me there had been a recall for this problem and suggested I contact dealer. Called Bmw of monrovia, ca and was informed that my vehicle id number was not listed for the recall. …”

“I got home from an outting with friends and passenger restraint systems malfunction appeared on my screen. Did alittle research, my passenger seat airbag will either deploy metal shards or not deploy at all incase of an accident. Or the seatbelt will not properly engage. The dealership says they are VIN specific and can only do my driver side. But everybody seems to only have the passenger side problem. They have the sensor in stock that can save a life, but they don't want to do the job just because my VIN does not match for the recall in their computers!”

“My car began displaying a passenger restraint failure identical to the recall in 2008 (Bmw id#57362 NHTSA id# 08v384000). I have the exact model and trim (2006 330I with sport package) as the recall, but upon contacting Bmw of north america, they stated my vehicle's VIN 'does not qualify' for the recall. I find this ridiculous, as it is a known defect (thus the recall) for the model and trim (sport seats) that are in my car. This is a clear safety defect but Bmw refuses to repair it. Instead, I am facing an $800 repair which is unconscionable. …”

“Has an airbag/seat belt light eliminated on the dash. Bmw has diagnosed it as a failed passenger seat sensor. 2006 330I sports seats were recalled for this item in 2008. Bmw recall id # 57362 - air bags: frontal recall date aug 05, 2008 recall date: aug 05, 2008 model affected: 2006 Bmw 3-series summary: Bmw is recalling 200,000 my 2006 3 series sport seat, my 2004-2006 5 series standard and sport seat, and my 2004-2006 x3 passenger vehicles. Depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit, small cracks have developed in the mat. …”

“This is in regards to NHTSA campaign number 08v-384. I called Bmw about his recall and they stated my vehicle was not affected even though the problem I am having and multiple others are having is for the exact same issue, condition, and description as called out in campaign number 08v-384. I did more research and found that Bmw may not have the affected vehicles loaded correctly in their system. For example they tell you that the sport seat is not covered (which I have), but if you read the letters from Bmw to NHTSA, many sport seats are covered. …”
