“I have a warning light on during driving passenger restraint system malfunctions . Bmw states there is a 10yr warranty (recall) on this issue but my VIN does fall in the series of VIN's . My year 2010 is not covered, yet I have the same issue many others have and I have to pay out of pocket for since this kills my resale value. Bmw should have to replace and or fix all safety issue period.”
