Consumer Description

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION - NOTICE STARTED POPPING UP AT RANDOM NOW IS ON ALL THE TIME WITHOUT A PASSENGER. HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON ALL BMW SPORTS SEATS FROM YEARS 2006 AND 2008, NOTICING COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2012 ISSUES POSTED ONLINE AS WELL. PREVIOUS ISSUE WAS FOR A CRACKED SENSOR IN THE SEAT. NOT HAPPY THAT BMW HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOT REVIEW POSSIBLE REOCCURRENCE IN NEWER MODELS THEN 2008.
