“I have the same problem in which this is the number you have provided but not including my yr. It was only for 2006 models and I have a 2004 but same exact problems. I have read and seen others with the same problem. Some dealerships honored the recall or service offer but they will not for me and this is a safety issue not a luxury option. Nhtsa action number : ea08001 NHTSA recall campaign number : 08v384000.”

There has been a recall reported on the same component statement on voluntary recall involving front passenger seat sensor mat on u.s.a. Model bmws - august 13, 2008 . It is NHTSA recall campaign number: 08v384000. I have the same problem so I called Bmw and they stated that my car is not part of the recall. I do not understand how my car is having the exact same problem but is not part of the recall? This is a huge safety issue. …”

“The idrive system in my car continues to cut on and off, this eventually caused my car to shut off on me two times while in traffic with no warning or indication of the shut off. The sensor alert continuously goes off for everything in the car. I took my car to the BMW dealership in Huntsville Alabama, they had my car for almost a month and could not find the issue with the drive or anything the sensors were notifying me of. …”
