Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car had approximately 65k miles on it when the light on the dashboard indicated an issue. It was manufactured in 08/06. Reading from the computer indicated a passenger occupancy mat failure. Bmw extended the warranty for 10 years through model year 05 but won't do anything for 2006. I called Bmw USA and escalated it. They called me back and stated it will not be covered. I am concerned that this may prevent the airbag from operating in case of a collision for the passenger. …”
