2005 BMW 525I Seats Problems

“After having an independent mechanic scan my vehicle with an advanced scan tool, the error that came up was for the passenger seat occupancy sensor . This fault has caused both the airbag and seatbelt light to reman illuminated continuously. The first time it happened, I had the code reset. But after a person sat in the passenger seat, the error code came back with the same fault code.”

I had to get my brand new car towed back to the dealership where they replaced the transmission. This was only the beginning of a cycle of events that never happened with my honda accord, mercedes, acura, blazer or saturn. …”
