Front passenger occupancy sensor failure

I had my car towed to BMW OF WEST SPRINGFIELD MA, to get car initially overhaul and completely fixed I understand that are six underlying recalls airbags, odb communications, brakes, electrical, door latches, after calling and letting them know my car was on its way, I requested a courtesy call and no was given I call two days later to be told my car wasn’t on the lot, then to be called back hours later to be told they could not find key to my vehicle, also they tried to make me pay for the lost key in WHICH THEY LOST, they still refuse to fix the recall and are requesting me get it towed out at there expense the recalls can only be fixed by BMW, also MASSACHUSETTS AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THEM TO BE FIXED, so therefore the car cannot leave the lot until recall is fixed

1) The electrical section of the dashboard for speed, checking gas levels etc. is no longer visible. It is available for inspection! 2) For the obvious reason: unable to determine all safety measures such as speed, driving safety such as gas level, warning signals etc.! 3) The problem was the result of numerous visits to the dealership regarding the rain leaking into the car. Which they said they were unable to find a leak or leaks. Advised the of possible recall re: car latch issues where the water leaks into the car via trunk etc. They finally realized their error. But failed to repair. Said it was a recall issue. 4) As mentioned...Has been inspected numerous times by the dealership in Willoughby, OH! 5) Of course there were warning signs that there was a problem or would eventually be a problem when water starts getting into your car: when it shouldn't (doors closed, windows up sunroof closed etc. However, as I said previously, the dealership inspected the car enough times to find what the problem was and avoid the damage cause: (UNLESS IT IS/WAS AN ISSUE THAT WARRANT A RECALL OF THE CAR'S SEALING, SUNROOF, LATCH ETC. THAT WAS DEFFECTIVE!!! NOTE: The dealership indicated that the water was getting in to the car, but couldn't stop it from getting in didn't have the knowledge to fix? Wouldn't that be a recall matter? MY SAFETY & OTHERS IS AT STAKE IF YOU DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF A DEFECT IN THIS BMW.

My soft closing door is not closing correctly. The door is being left open. Which you could eject from car.

AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WARNING STATES FAULT IN PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER OR BELT-FORCE LIMITER THIS WARNING ILLUMINATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE ON 9/30/2018. THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING THE IN PASSENGER SEAT AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO COLLISIONS.

AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. CAME ON WHILE DRIVING WITH ONE PASSENGER. DEALER STATES FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT NEEDS REPLACING. NHTSA ID 13V564000 DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN

Water linkage down door panels to the floor, Drivers side ECM is located in that area, water damages the components and caused it to produce codes, interfering with car engine, causes surges, and vehicle to all of sudden shut off even while driving on freeway or streets. Water linkage on the passenger side down into the fuse box. All so causing electrical malfunction that opens the door for potential unsafe events.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 750I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANT PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST.

A SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTOR FAULT PREVENTS THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM WORKING. THIS FAULT SIGNAL APPEARS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND CONTINUES UNTIL IT IS OFF. THE AIRBAG FAULT SIGNAL WAS CHECKED AND CONFIRMED TO BE A FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT DETECTOR. THIS IS A COMMON BMW PROBLEM. IT CAUSED NHTSA RECALL 13V564000 (11/12/13) AND IS NOW THE SUBJECT OF AN EXTENSIVE BMW WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR MANY MODELS IN LIEU OF A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR THE 2007 7 SERIES. BMW SERVICE BULLETIN SI B01 01 18 (MAY 2018) IDENTIFIES 12 MODEL TYPES GIVEN A LIFETIME WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SPECIFIED YEARS: E53 (X5) FOR 2001-2006; E60 (5 SERIES) 2004-2008; E61 (5 SERIES WAGON) 2006-2007; E63 (6 SERIES) 2004-2008); E64 (6 SERIES CONVERTIBLE) 2004-2008; E65-E66 (7 SERIES) 2002-2006; E83 (X3) 2004-2010; E85 (Z4) 2003-2007; E86 (Z4 COUPE) 2006-2008; E90 (3 SERIES SEDAN) 2006-2007; AND E91 (3 SERIES TOURING) 2006-2007. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE 2007 7 SERIES IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION. A SPECIALTY BMW REPAIR SHOP THAT USES BMW TRAINED PERSONNEL CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO MATERIAL DIFFERENCE IN THE SEAT DETECTION SYSTEM BETWEEN MODELS INCLUDED IN THE BMW WARRANTY EXTENSION AND THOSE EXCLUDED FROM IT, LIKE THE 2007 7 SERIES. THE BMWS HAVE A DESIGN SHORTCOMING THAT REQUIRES THAT A REPAIR OF A FAILED PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTOR IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, REQUIRING EXTENSIVE WORK TO REWORK THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT. THAT EXPENSE IN THE RANGE OF $2,000, IS A GREAT DISINCENTIVE TO REPAIRING OLDER MODELS WITH DIMINISHED VALUE. THAT CREATES ADDITIONAL DANGER OF NO AIR BAG PROTECTION IN THESE CARS. WHEN ASKED, BMW REPRESENTATIVES MADE NO ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN WHY THE 2007 7 SERIES IS EXCLUDED FROM THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, SAYING ONLY THAT THE CHOICE OF MODELS COVERED IS BASED ON INTERNAL DATA AND BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NO DISCRETION TO COVER OR REDUCE COSTS FOR MODELS NOT INCLUDED.

READING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS A RECALL DESCRIBING MY EXACT PROBLEM BUT FOR 2006 5 SERIES. MY CAR IS A 2007 7 SERIES. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 16V919000. THE RECALL DESCRIBES A PROBLEM IDENTICAL TO MINE. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO SPEND $187 TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO DEFINITIVE SOLUTION.
