Consumer Description

PASSENGER SEAT MAT FAILED TURNING OFF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FOR A CAR MANUFACTURED IN FALL 2007 IN GERMANY. BMW DON'T WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM DESPITE THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND MODELS PRIOR TO THIS CUT-OFF DATE HAVING ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER SEAT IS RARELY USED AND THE CAR, DESPITE BEING 9 YEARS OLD, HAS ONLY DONE 39,000 MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION IF THE AIRBAG IS TRULY TURNED OFF THOUGH NO CODES INDICATE THIS IS THE CASE. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE
