Airbag light on, passenger airbag off light illuminated. Diagnostic scan showed faulty front passenger seat occupancy detector. Bmw issued recall campaign 13v-564 for vehicles manufactured from dec 05 to sept 06. My vehicle was manufactured 06/06 and is displaying all the symptoms from recall 13v-564 yet bmw usa claims my vehicle is not effected.

This car has relatively few miles (85k), and has always been operated by a single person. The passenger seat cushion has a sensor mat that activates the passenger airbag. With relatively fewer miles and very few passengers, the passenger seat didn't experience the normal use as likely modeled by bmw. However, during the fall of 2020, (during the height of covid), a warning light stating the passenger air bag had a malfunction. We were in the midst of nursing and the warning light then went out during the first three months of 2021. When it came on again in may, 2021, i asked bmw about it as was told, "that's campaign 13v-564. The front passenger airbag seat occupancy sensor mat isn't working. This means, if there's an accident, the airbag protecting the passenger won't deploy." apparently there as a "safety check" on this in 2014 and the recall closed as of january 2021....So, i was four months past the expiration date of their safety check for this important malfunctioning seat cushion. As advised by a bmw representative, i requested "goodwill assistance" with covering all or some of this repair (estimated at approx $2k). I was just told that bmw will not provide any goodwill assistance with this and there is apparently no one within bmw customer relations i can escalate this to. So, i am reaching-out to the nhtsa in hopes someone can assist me in navigating this. It seems to me, an important safety item such as a passenger sensor for airbag deployment on a car with fewer miles (and passengers) than average, experiencing a brief warning that didn't repeat during covid when we were unable to get to a bmw dealership, and for a "safety check" issue that just ended prior to us contacting bmw to repair is something i don't think bmw should be able to dodge.

The contact owns a 2006 bmw x5. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side air bags warning lights were illuminated. The contact had initially notified the dealer about the defect and was referred to the manufacturer. The manufacturer informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vin. The contact was referred to the dealer for the repair. The contact was informed that he might be entitled to a reimbursement if the vin gets added to a recall. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 13v564000 (air bags) however, the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

My heated seat caught on fire and burned me and my coat. I very rarely used it at all. I started using it and it was probably the 10th time i used it when it occurred.

My vehicle went on limp mode i'm pretty sure it has to do with the transmission gears. My passenger side door looks like the air bag wants to pop out.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 bmw x5. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond properly. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to richmond bmw (8710 w broad st, richmond, va 23294) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brakes needed to be replaced. The brake master cylinder and the brake booster were replaced. The contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 10v446000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 214,000.

I purchased a 2006 x5 4.4i (n62b44 engine)used with 138,000 miles. Went to leave driveway, car was in reverse, presses brakes to adjust mirrors, let off to keep backing out, had to press again for another adjustment, i looked up and i was driving through the bushes in my front yard. Brakes were pushed but not engaging. I thought that to be odd, so i wanted to run to a certified bmw repair facility. I was in traffic going about 40 and had to utilize the breaks again, the car stopped. Within one minute i had to press again and the car would not stop, i pumped the breaks and the pedal was so hard there was no give. I plowed through a red light almost causing a several car pile up, and was finally able to get the vehicle to stop. At the repair shop, i was told the vacuum pump was leaking oil everywhere because it was busted, the oil was backing up into the master cylinder and had mixed with the break fluid and the break booster was bad. I am having to pay 2400 for the service when it was just purchased 3 days ago. There were no warning lights on at time of purchase which would have kept me from purchasing with cash. There are still no warning lights although i have taken down several bushes because the x5 would not stop and almost caused a head on collision because the x5 would not stop again. The 2007 x5 has been recalled to the exact same issue with the exact same diagnosis and symptoms, the 5 series from that year was also recalled. Just not the x5 due to an obvious oversite. This is a very dangerous vehicle when it is operated without being repaired. The vacuum pump, break booster and master cylinder are all part of the recall, which is exactly what a bmw certified mechanic stated needed to be replaced on mine. I
