MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH ALONG WITH THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT OVERHEAD, EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SEATED AND BUCKLED INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT. I CALLED BMW AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CAR MODEL AND YEAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SUMMARY (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 08V384000), ACCORDING TO THEM IT WAS NOT AFFECTED AND WILL NOT BE PAID FOR--EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS IS DETAILED IN THE SUMMARY. READING THROUGH OTHER FORUMS AND THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT MORE VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY COVERED IN THE RECALL. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO THE FOLLOWING: QUOTE NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10546733 THE ISSUE IS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE RACES AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW HARD YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE YOU STILL GO FORWARD. END QUOTE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS CAN BE ENGAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY, PARTICULARLY IN HARD BRAKING THIS 4D 4X4 XDRIVE 28I (AND NEVER HAPPENED WITH OUR THREE PREVIOUS BMWS, WHICH WERE SEDANS). BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION TRAVEL CAN EASILY FALL UNDER THE DISTANCE TO THE FLOOR OF UNAPPLIED ACCELERATOR PEDAL. TRAVELING THAT DISTANCE THE ACCELERATOR CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY BE DEPRESSED. BMW FACTORY INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING OUT OF SPEC. I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE IT'S A DESIGN DEFICIENCY, A CONDITION TYPE BMW NEVER ADMITS, EVEN IF IT CORRECTS THE CONDITION LATER. *TR
