Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST YEAR WITH 140,000 MILES ON IT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEATBELT LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AFTER MAYBE A MONTH OF DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE BMW SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT IT CAME ON BECAUSE I HAD SOMETHING HEAVY SITTING IN THE SEAT---NOTHING HEAVIER THAN MY PURSE. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSIS FEE TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF BUT I REFUSED. THAT IS NOT A CAUTION IN THE HANDBOOK SO HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT WAS PROBLEM. I'M WORRIED THAT MY SEATBELT AND AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 BMW 525.
