Consumer Description

I'VE BEEN TOLD BY TWO EUROPEAN CAR REPAIR COMPANIES THAT 2006 BMWS ARE FREQUENTLY NEEDING THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULAR REPLACED. THERE IS AN INTERNAL ERROR ON THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT- CODE 93D7. THIS PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, AND BECAUSE OF THE EXORBITANT PRICE, I WAS TOLD THAT MANY DRIVERS CHOOSE TO DISCONNECT THE AIRBAGS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING! IS BMW REPORTING THIS ISSUE? I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SEEMED COMPLETELY UNINTERESTED AND/OR UNWILLING TO DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME THE WARNING WAS DISPLAYED.
