2002 BMW X5 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Bmw has failed on several occasions to address this issue or service vehicle. I have made them aware of the situation but continue to receive letters that indicate I could die of the airbag.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BMW X5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT VEHICLE START-UP. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V047000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH MOSS MOTORS BMW (1401 SURREY ST, LAFAYETTE, LA 70501) WHERE THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BMW X5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V015000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THEY REQUESTED A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE STEERING WHEEL. ONCE THE MANUFACTURER RECEIVED THE PHOTOGRAPH, THEY SENT AN E-MAIL TO THE CONTACT STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO CONFIRM IF THE E-MAIL WAS RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: LP48169. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM DMV OF VIRGINIA THAT THE AIR BAG IS RECALLED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UPON CALLING THE BMW RECALL LINE, THEY SAID THE RECALL IS NEW AND IS DATED JANUARY 2019. SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BAG REPLACED AT FLOW BMW IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2019, THEY INFORMED THE BAG HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND THAT NO REPAIR WAS NECESSARY. I CHECKED MY RECORDS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED. HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE WHEN THE RECALL IS DATED JANUARY 2019 AND MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED DURING 2019 BY A BMW DEALER.

A CODE IS BEING THROWN THAT TRANSLATES TO "SEAT BELT TENSIONER, DRIVER'S SIDE". I SEE A RECALL IN YOUR DATABASE FOR THIS ISSUE AND 2002 BMW X5'S BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP (BMW OF THE MAINLINE) AND PROVIDE THEM MY VIN#, THEY SAID THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER MY PARTICULAR CAR. UNSURE WHY THAT WOULD BE AS I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM W/THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR AS IN THIS RECALL. OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR SUFFERS FROM THE SAME ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECITIFIED BY BMW FREE OF CHARGE. THANKS

CAR CAN NOT BE INSPECTED BECAUSE OF AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON.

DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL 70 MPH AND WE HEARD A BIT BAMMMMMM AND SMOKED COMING OUT OF THE CRACK OF THE DOOR . IT TOOK A MINUTE TO REALIZE THAT THE AIR BAGS HAS JUST WENT OFF FOR NOT APPARENT REASON. SCARE THE [XXX] OUT OFF ME!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, DRIVERS SIDE MAY BE THE PROBLEM. LIGHT GOES ON AS SOON AS THE CAR IS STARTED. I BOUGHT IT USED AND LIGHT WAS ON. MILAGE WAS 91,050. BMW X5 3.0L6 DOHC 24V

TAKATA RECALL AND SEAT BELT BUCKLE, PURCHASED FROM HOMELAND SECURITY AUCTION, HAD A LOT OF DAMAGE TO FRONT SECTION AND INTERIOR WAS TORN APART BY HOME LAND SECURITY. I SAW PICTURES OF IT ON THE INTERNET BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BMW X5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ILLUMINATED REPEATEDLY AND THE DEALER COULD NOT REPAIR IT. THE DEALER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY INFORMED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE PARTS. SHE HAD TO PAY A $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE LABOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

I GOT INTO A AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON MONDAY OCT 19, 2009. I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 BMW X5. SOMEONE DRIVING AROUND 50MPH HIT MY X5 REAR IMPACT TO DRIVERS SIDE. THEN I BELIEVE IT DRAGGED ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE AXLES BROKE, TIRE WENT TO THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WAS BENT IN A WAY THAT THE ROOF WAS POINTING UPWARDS IN THE MIDDLE. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT MY CAR (X5) IS CONSIDERED TOTALED. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH MANY AIRBAGS. HOWEVER, NON OF THE AIRBAGS OPENED TO PROTECT ME. *TR

WE WERE BACKING UP THE CAR FROM THE RESTAURANT AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND CURTAIN AIR BAG POPPED OPEN BUT NOT DEPLOYED WITH AIR FOR NO REASON. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER THEY SAID SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE CAR INITIATED, AND TO REPAIR COSTS WILL BE $4,000.00. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX THE CAR AND THEY RELEASED THE CAR TO ME. THE BAGS ARE NOT DEPLOYED AND AFRAID OF DEPLOYING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILED AND CAUSED THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT TO FLIP OVER.*AK *TS *NLM
