Example complaints

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

“Recently purchased a 2008 Bmw Z4. After a week of ownership the airbag light came on. Fault code points to the passenger seat occupancy sensor oc3. Bmw issued a 15 year extended warranty to many Bmw models including the 2006 and 2007 Z4 with comfort seats, but not to the 2008 model. This repair costs upwards of $1500 and is safety related. Bmw needs to step up and cover all affected models!”
