Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My wife has had surgery and needs a seat cushion. When we use it on the front passenger side the air bag off light goes on. Bmw offers no solution. You may not use a non Bmw authorized cushion on you passenger seat. I asked for an authorized Bmw cushion, they said non exists. We are afraid to drive our car in that condition. This is a real hazard.”
