Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. I HAVE CALLED THE BMW DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST WHICH WILL COST OVER $100 JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS ONE OF THE CARS THAT WAS FIXED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I TOLD THEM I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG IT. WHAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILS AND SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY INJURED DO TO THIS ISSUE. THE WARNING NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH HAS BEEN ON FOR TWO YEARS. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 80,000. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS FOR A PREVIOUS RECALL AND THEY CANNOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE RECALL. VERY DISAPPOINTED. THE CAR HAS A VERY HIGH PRICE TAG AND YOU WOULD EXPECT SOME SORT OF OWNERSHIP AND HONESTY FROM THE BMW CORPORATION. *TR
