2007 Bmw X5 Airbags Problems

Your passenger airbag warning light came on. You previously received an email about a recall involving your passenger airbag potentially exploding, but when you contacted the BMW dealer, they said they have no airbag recall on file for your vehicle. You should verify your vehicle's recall status and contact BMW customer service to clarify the discrepancy.

Your passenger-side airbag warning light came on, and a mechanic diagnosed that the passenger-side airbag needs to be replaced. The airbag wasn't repaired at that time. You'll need to have the airbag module replaced by a qualified technician, which involves removing the dashboard trim and safely installing a new airbag unit.

Your airbag warning light stays on constantly and is preventing you from accessing dashboard controls. Additionally, your car's engine speed doesn't respond properly when you press the accelerator — it only accelerates when you push the pedal all the way to the floor. The underlying issue likely involves a faulty airbag sensor or accelerator sensor that needs diagnostic scanning and replacement.

DOSE NOT ACTIVATE

FUEL ODOR IS CONSTANT AROUND THE VEHICLE. RECALL ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS. RECALL ON FUEL TANK FILTER

THE AUTO IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE STEERING SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING AND PUTS CAR IN LIMP MODE. HAPPENED 7 TIMES IN ONE DAY, CAR IN LIMP MODE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC . MAKING A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT MALFUNCTIONED AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO COLLISION BECAUSE CAR LOST 99% OF POWER. CAR HAS ACTIVE RECALLS VERY OLD NOW BMW SAYS TEY HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS 37,186 MILES ON IT , MAKING THE OPERATING COST OVER $2.00 A MILE NOT INCLUDING GASOLINE OR MAINTAINENCE. TO RESET MALFUNTIONING SENSOR THE BATTERY IS DISCONECTED TO REBOOT THE ENGINE CONTROLLS RECONECTED RESTART THEN TURN HARD LEFT AND THEN HARD RIGHT, NORMAL DRIVING IS RESUMED ON THIS UNIT IT ONLY WORKS UNTILL YOU SLOW FOR TRAFFIC OR TO MAKE A TURN MAKING THE CAR AND TRAFFIC AROUND IT EXTEMELY UNSAFE AS THE AUTO HAS SUDDEN POWER LOSS. THE RECALLS ON AUTO ARE OLD AND AGAIN BMW SAY NO REPLACEMENT PARTS. PHONE MESSAGES TO SERVICING DEALER ARE UNANSWERED AND WHERE I LIVE THER IS NO DEALER. MY OWN SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED ALL 5 SERIES BMW HAVE COMPLAINTS OF THIS MALFUNCTION. I AM A CANCER PATIENT AND USING THIS VEHICLE TO TRAVEL TO TREATMENTS IS GOING TO KILL ME BEFORE THE CANCER. AND MAYBE OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE TOO. I FEEL THAT BMW LOOKING IN TO IT IS NOT ENOUGH ACTION NTSB SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND BMW SHOULD BE MADE LIABLE FOR ALL REPAIRS AND RESPONCIBLE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF AFFECTED AUTOS TO A REPAIR CENTER AS THE AUTOS ARE IN FACT UNSAFE TO OPERATE.

MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SOMETIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. EVERY MORNING, IT TAKES 10 TO 15 MINS TO START THE CAR. THE LAST WEEK OR SO, THE CAR DOESN'T START AT ALL CAUSING CHAOS FOR US TO GO TO WORK. LAST WEEK MY WIFE WAS BACKUP AND THE CAR STALLED. I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS AS MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE IN THE CAR THE MOST. THIS COULD BECOME A SERIOUS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE GOING DOWNWARD ON THE RAMP WITH MY 2007 X5. MY TIRE BLEW OFF THE RIM CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND EVENTUALLY STRIKE THE SIDE WALL. WAS WEARING SEAT BELT DURING ACCIDENT,SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN ME AND HEAD HIT WINDSHIELD. DEBRIS FROM AIRBAG IN STEERING WHEEL CUT ME IN VARIOUS PLACES. NOT ALL OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, ONLY STEERING WHEEL AND CURTAIN. SECOND ACCIDENT WITH A BMW TRUCK WHERE EITHER ONLY A FEW DEPLOYED OR NONE AT ALL. THIS ISSUE REALLY CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT AND WASN'T FULLY PROTECTED AT ALL. BMW ARE TOO GOOD OF CARS FOR THIS MAJOR FLAW. ALSO, I CONTACTED BMW AROUND DECEMBER 2015 IN REFERENCE TO RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART CAME IN. CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES AFTERWARDS AND WAS TOLD BMW STILL HASN'T SENT PART OUT. ...UPDATED 06/13/17 *BF UPDATED 09/19/217*JS

THIS IS INVOLVING THE RECALL ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE INVOLVING THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP...BMW STILL HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE, I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER IN CICERO, NEW YORK AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER 6 MOS AGO AND MY VEHICLE'S INSPECTION WAS DUE IN MARCH AND THEY WILL NOT PASS IT BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS ISSUE CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. SO I KEEP GETTING TICKETS BECAUSE I AM AN ATTORNEY AND NEED MY CAR TO DRIVE ALL OVER FOR WORK. ITS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN OVER 6 MOS AND I KEEP GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE FROM THE DEALER. ALSO, THE AIRBAG RECALLS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED EITHER PRESENTING ANOTHER DANGER IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT ANOTHER OWNER MADE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10621394, PERTAINING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V564000. IN MY CASE A REPAIR SHOP HAS INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE'S FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT IS DEFECTIVE AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY THE RECALL ONLY LISTS THE 2006 BMW X5 AS HAVING THE DEFECTIVE PART. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE 2007 BMW X5. *TR

I WAS EXITING A PARKING GARAGE AND HIT A COLUMN, THE AIRBAG WENT OFF. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. I SUSTAINED A C1 NECK FRACTURE AND AN ABRASION ON MY FOREHEAD. I WAS IN A NECK COLLAR FOR 3 MONTHS WITH VERY LIMITED ACTIVITY AND NO DRIVING. MY CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. I AM PRESENTLY GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK FOR MY NECK. *TR

IN REGARD TO NHTSA 13V-564, MY 2007 BMW X5 HAS THE SAME FRONT PASSENGER SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE ISSUE. A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR THAT SAYS SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION OR SEATBELT TENSION SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THIS MUST BE A DEFECT, AS I HAVE LESS THAT 40,000 MILES AND HARDLY EVER HAVE A PASSENGER. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN DECEMBER 2013 AND REFERENCES UP TO 2006 BMW X5S AS HAVING THE DEFECTIVE PART. CAN YOU PLEASE EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE 2007 BMW X5S? IF YOU WOULD LIKE OR NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAD AN ON & OFF ISSUE SINCE LAST WEEK OF THIS YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAG & SEATBELT WARNING BEING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD & OVERHEAD CONSOLE OF MY 2007 BMW 530 XI. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A WHILE AS I START THE CAR BUT WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES. NOW SINCE LAST WEEK THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. THE IDRIVE SCREEN SHOWS " PASS. RESTRAINTS SYSTEM FAULT IN PASSENGER-RESTRAINTS SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER OR BELT-FORCE LIMITER. CONTINUE TO WEAR THE SEATBELT. HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY BMW SERVICE CENTER". I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE & FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000. I CALLED BMW OF TENAFLY AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE I'M HAVING ON MY VEHICLE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN# OF MY CAR IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS INTO THE SAME CATEGORY OF MAKE, MODEL & YEAR OF VEHICLES BEING RECALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING COMES ON SAYING THE AIR BAG IS IN DEFECT, THE SEAT BELT IS NOT WORKING BUT WEAR SEAT BELT FOR SAFETY ANYWAY. MY CAR IS A 2007 MODEL THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WAS MADE WITH DEFECTIVE FAULTS, SINCE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BROADER RECALL THAN THEY THOUGHT!! MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW FOR REPAIRS. *TR

IDRIVE DISPLAYS SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG WARNING ON PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WHEN OCCUPIED BY PASSENGER. *TR

VEHICLE KEEPS SAYING PASSENGER RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION. PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE YEAR 2004-2006 MODELS, FOR THE SAME REASON (PASSENGER RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION). THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE 2007, 2008, 2009 MODEL. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I FEEL LIKE IF IT DOES, MY PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY WHEN THERE IS A BODY OCCUPYING THAT SEAT. THE CAR SAYS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM IN ANY VEHICLE, LET ALONE A BMW. *TR

THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT AIRBAG/SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT SHOW UP BECAUSE THE MAT SENSOR UNDER PASSENAGE SEAT IS BROKEN BY NORMAL USE. BMW REFUSE TO HONOR THE FREE FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND WANTED TO CHARGE AROUND $1300 FOR THE REPAIR THE SAFTY ISSUE. *TR
