“I was driving on the autobahn and my Bmw 645 and all fault message were displayed. After that, the car speed abruptly,then just cut off!I it restarted with codes and all then shut off again. This continued five times until I reached my destination. I restart the car,and it started, but the radio and door siren was not working with no fault messages;no service engine light; and drove fine for a few min. And then did the same thing again!! I took the car to a Bmw repair shopped to have the fault codes read, which end up being a long list of codes.”

I don't think is normal because my passenger seat is rarely used and yet I'm getting that error. My car is in mint condition, never abused and always taken cared of. Last time I was at the dealer they told me that the alternator makes the computer give out that error so I changed the alternator and the passenger restraint system failure error is still there. …”
