The airbag indicator light on the instrument panel has been alight for sometime. I'm not certain if it's an airbag failure or whether it's on the drivers or passenger side. I was surprised not to find my auto included in the takata airbag recall list event. Can you shed any light on this matter? If so, many thanks in advance.

Doorlock cylinder assembly inside door breaks, causing lock cylinder not to be held in place & when key is inserted in lock cylinder the whole lock cylinder just turns with the key. Making it impossible to lock or unlock the door. I'm experiencing this problem with passenger door & the drivers door is starting to act sloppy also. This is a problem experienced by many bmw owners of different models. Besides being poorly designed it's very expensive to repair; approx. $500 to $800 per lock...Note "the repair does not require new lock cylinders, just the hardware that hold the cylinder inplace, but this hardware is difficult to find & the bmw dealer is usually the only place to get it at a high cost. I have seen door lock cylinder assembly hardware online for under $20.00; but bmw charges $100 to $200." bmw prides itself on quality. I think they should stand behind their mouth! I've had cars over 40 years old. They've had a lot of problems, but door lock cylinder assemblies, no & it wouldn't have been this expensive to fix! Thank you *tr

Dt:consumer says that key seems to stick in the ignition . Consumer had this problem before, but has always been able to jiggle key and get it to come loose. On june 21, 2005 consumer drove to store , when consumer went to shut off vehicle the ignition would not move. Consumer drove home after several attempts to remove key. Consumer did not want to leave vehicle outside of store with engine running. When consumer arrived home he proceeded to move the steering wheel back and forth violently until he finally got ignition to shut off and key to dislodge. Consumer spoke to dealer, and was told that this sometimes happened, but because the warranty expired it was not dealer's responsibility. Dealer said that two cylinders could sometimes lock, causing key to be stuck. Also, dealer said that consumer would have to pay $135 just for dealer to look at problem. It can occur at anytime. Problem happened for about a year.*ak
