| 2007 | SEAT BELTS | VEHICLE KEEPS SAYING PASSENGER RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION. PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE YEAR 2004-2006 MODELS, FOR THE SAME REASON (PASSENGER RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION). THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE 2007, 2008, 2009 MODEL. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I FEEL LIKE IF IT DOES, MY PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY WHEN THERE IS A BODY OCCUPYING THAT SEAT. THE CAR SAYS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM IN ANY VEHICLE, LET ALONE A BMW. *TR |
