Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My son lean forward and turned left to grab an item from my daughter in the back seat. All of the sudden the passenger safety restraint system malfunction light came on. Now it comes on continuously when a front seat passenger moves slightly. I researched online and noted that recall has been done for numerous Bmw cars, but just not my year model. I believe this is manufacture defect and they should fix it.”
