Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle is Bmw X5 30i 2009 model year. I suddenly had an error message on the dashboard screen saying pass restraint system faulty . Dealer checked the problem and stated that this will not engage front passenger airbag and seatbelt restraint system if not fixed. Asked price was $1800 and paid $1500. Absurd price and should be covered by warranty -- its a safety system! I found out that there was an identical NHTSA recall on the same issue with other Bmw vehicles just one or two years before this model year. The NHTSA recall code of that recall is 08v384000. …”
