Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 325xi. The contact stated that an unknown warning indicator illuminated, the vehicle hesitated while driving, and there was an abnormal noise when the engine was started. The contact reached out to union park bmw (1900 pennsylvania ave, wilmington, de 19806, (302) 658-7245) several times pertaining to the failures. A technician was sent to the contact's residence and informed the contact of nhtsa campaign number: 17v676000 (electrical system). The contact was uncertain if there was an internal electrical failure, which could cause the vehicle to potentially stall and/or catch on fire. The technician indicated that the micro-filter needed to be changed, but the part was not replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available.

There has already been a major recall for most 2006 326xi models that needs to be also extendes to my vehicle. It is obviously an issue on other models, and the manufscturer needs to correct this before people are harmed since by default the module assumes noone is sitting there and will not deploy.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw 325xi. While driving unknown speeds, the heater blower failed to disburse air and the panel indicator was illuminated. The contact called a local dealer (erhard bmw of bloomfield, 1845 s telegraph rd, bloomingfield hills, mi 48302) and was advised to schedule a service appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the local dealer. The failure mileage was unknown. *bf *tr

Door actuator failure. Driver side door will not open from outside unless you use the physical key, will not open from inside once it locks and you must climb over seat to exit back or passenger doors. Sometimes door will unlock if you roll down the window and use the key on the outside lock but usually that does not work. Serious safety issue, you could be trapped inside the car in an emergency. Doors lock automatically at 5 mph or so and you are locked inside with a handle that does not work.

The dealer (niello bmw, 2020 fulton ave, sacramento, ca 95825, (916) 486-1011) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was unable to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact noticed a burning odor inside the vehicle. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 131,000.

Passenger restraint system - malfunction indicator light just came on. Found numerous articles on internet and nhtsa recalls for "front passenger seat occupant detection mat defect".
