“2010 Bmw 528I, having problems with passenger restraint system and air bag system lights stay on. I have read numerous complaints over the internet forums. This is a huge safety concern and should be addressed by Bmw.”

NHTSA complaint #10783325, filed 2015-10, 68,000 miles

“Airbag / seatbelt sensor faulty passenger restraint system malfunction error on the system. Bmw had a recall earlier for 2004-2006 vehicles where Bmw replaces the seat mat free of cost. I called the dealer for my 2010 528I and they are saying there is no recall; however I see thousands of users across the country are complaining about the same issue.”
