2005 Bmw X3 Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1185259
Internal NHTSA #	10717723
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	X3
Model Year	2005
File date	14/05/15
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I own a 2005 bmw x3, purchased new 5-5-05. On 12-19-11, while at the dealer for service, tech advised that during short test, he noted faulted pass seat mat sensor. Dealer replaced pass seat mat sensor and enabled. At no time were prior recalls on this issue mentioned nor was i provided documentation concerning any extended warranty. On 5-14-15 (note the date) the srs warning light on the dash came on and remained lit while the pass seat air bag light would not go off. Took car to dealer 5-19-15. They confirmed the same seat mat sensor they replaced on 12-19-11 was again faulty. However, this time they would not replace as it was beyond the heretofore "extended warranty" by 14 days. Took vehicle to local shop who replaced seat mat sensor. Faulty seat mat sensor retained for possible testing. This is a significant safety issue that bmw is ignoring. How many more complaints need to be made before this issue is resolved? Do people need to be injured (or worse) before bmw is held accountable? With seat bag recalls being in the news daily, how much bad publicity does bmw want before they actually do what is right?

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
