Tl* the contact owns a 1998 bmw 323i. The contact stated that the air bag and the engine warning indicators were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Control display that the electric circuit, license plate light, brake circuit, has failed. On my dashboard the following lights are on: airbag, check engine, brake pad wear, abs, and the asc+t lights are illuminated at all times. Nothing happened to my car, no wreck, no quick stops, i am an extremely cautious driver. All these things start to occur out of no where,

The brake light switch fails which prevents the brake light to illuminate when the car is brake. Subsequently, cruise control cannot be disengaged by the brake anymore because of this problem. Instead when in cruise control with the brake the depressed the car speeds up compensating for the lost speed. This greatly increases the chance for a high speed crash because of the inability to disengage cruise control. *tr

I have a 1998bmw 323is and i recently met with an accident on sunday 9/13/2009. My friend was driving my car and it crashed very badly. The whole front portion is gone and car is reusable. What surprises me is the airbags never came out. Only the side airbag(drivers side) just cameout1/2. Is this what happens in a crash?How can i trust cars in the crash? *tr

I was backing out of a driveway, and the vehicle rpm's - on their own - suddenly increased to a very high rpm. The vehicle accelerated as i was backing up, causing me to rear end a parked car across the street. *tr

Report#2:06/08/1999, my left front driver's door was struck by another driver,causing my car to spin. I regained my correct driving path. To avoid additional collisions, i departed the road to the right non-curbed wet grassy roadside. To avoid striking a wood telephone or electrical pole, i turned sharply right. I firmly braked & my car slid on wet grass, coming to a complete stop, making frontal low impact with a brick roadside wall. My car fortunately had a automatic front seat-belting system for my closed-top convertble. My 2 daughter passengers & i were all seat-belted. My 10 yrs old, in the right front passenger's seat & my 4 yr old was in the rear left passenger seat, directly behind me. We were all startled by the event. I could see my daughter to my right side was unharmed. Knowing we would all need to soon exit the car & i would need to assist my youngest, i unbuckled my seatbelt. I next turned myself to the right, to check on my youngest daughter, behind me. I saw she was ok. I next heard a loud pop in front of me, so i turned forward to see a small rectangular plastic pillow filling with air. I realized it must be the airbag. Next i felt a extreme painful, forceful blow against my face & upper chest. The airbag over-aggressively deployed late. The over-aggressive force of the airbag caused me to suffer a traumatic brain injury, with a current life-threatening brain lesion. My 2 mandibles jaws were ea.Broken in 4 places, requiring 8 perm. Dental pins. Every bone in my face was broken, requiring titanium plate placement over the broken bones. My skull-top had to be cut open to relieve the increased intracranial pressure. I technically died due to my lungs collapsing and eart-stopped during the life-flight helicopter transport, which the emts revived me for my nearly one month hospital recovery & rehabilitation. My airbag should have been recalled. *dt*jb
