2008 BMW 335I Seat belts Problems

“Fourth incident - on-board diagnostics indicate malfunction passenger restraint system in eleven months for same problem. Service yet to be scheduled with dealer. I know there was recall for same problem in 2006 for Bmw 3-series. I think Bmw is installing faulty seat mats.”

“Vehicle is not allowed recall since VIN# does not apply however all things wrong with vehicle are exactly what can be found under recalls: NHTSA campaign id numbers 12e029000,09v257000, 09v257000. Bmw fairfax and Bmw north america state recall cannot be processed because my VIN does not apply. It is bothersome to know that I am experiencing only these 3 problems that so happen to be the only errors and all 3 are on the recall list for my make, model, and year. …”

“Pass. Restraint passenger error massage, appeared the first time, I replaced the seat belt tensioner, the error massage disappeared, then came back on about 5 months after. I have a convertible model.”

“During normal driving conditions the airbag and seatbelt tensioner system fail lights came on. We drove home and the lights stayed on ever since. Tried resetting the computer system but lights remain on.”

“Seatbelt mechanism would not release when buckled, eventually the buckle would not even lock and drivers seatbelt rendered inoperable. Dealership removed the drivers seat and installed new seatbelt and latch system.”
