The vehicle air bag system does not work due to a defective passenger seat occupancy sensor. It is a documented issue with BMW and they are denying coverage for my particular VIN

On July 15, 2015, I was driving on far left lane of highway 65 headed toward I80 to sacramento when I started smelling hair burning and felt intense heat on my lower back which was pressing against the driver seat back. Quickly smoke started coming up between by left arm and across my body. I was unsure of what was happening so attempted to move across highway to far right lane pull over onto highway shoulder. As soon as I could, I parked the car jumped out of the driver seat and saw the smoke coming out of the driver's seat back, I grabbed my bottle of water and poured it onto the seat where an apparent hole had burned thru. When safe, drove home and called BMW dealership in roseville, ca to report the incident. The car was taken into the dealership on 7/16. They have reported it as a faulty heating mechanism to BMW corporate office. However, there is yet no response from corporate and no resolution. BMW corporate appears to be attempting to make us/owners responsible for the costs. It has been 22 days since the incident and despite multiple calls, emails and communications, nothing has been done to address the faulty heating mechanism. Please advise what can be done to get attention to this matter. By the grace of god my wife was not driving and I was able to get across the freeway safely before any harm or damage was done. We don't want others to suffer any consequences because of further delays and lack of attention to this critical safety issue.

On the dash board the loud warning light comes on: Driver restraint system fault and passenger restraint system fault. I know that several 2002-2008 BMW 7-series got recalled regarding the same issue and manufacture offered 10 year warranty from in service date regarding this issue. Mine is a 2004 745li and should be one of the recalled one. Called the manufacture and they sad the VIN number that my car has never have been recalled with this problem. The problem is on and I think the manufacture should take care of it. Is a shame to spend so much money for this vehicles and they can't offer a safe drive. Thanks

I started my BMW 745I to warm it up along with the heated seats. Came out of my house three minutes later to leave and smelled something burning on the inside of the car. I looked around but didn't see anything outright obvious. I started to drive away when I felt burning sensation to my left side. I turned to look and saw that seat heater was burning through the leather on the left side of the back of the seat. I made left a message with a service rep at 'new country BMW' of hartford, ct with no return call within 24 hours as there answering service promises. I then brought the vehicle to 'new country BMW' of hartford, ct where the service rep told myself he had 'never heard of there being a seat heater recall'.

Driver side occupant detection mat is not functioning according to the dealer. The passenger side mat has been previously recalled on this vehicle. The airbag light is continuously on and the I drive car data shows passenger mat is not working. But the dealer says the driver side is out somehow. From what I understand the mat disables the airbag when there is insufficient weight applied.

I purchased the car from a dealer in Virginia. Maybe a few weeks later the airbag waarning light came N the screen. I have not been able to drive it becasue when I went to take it to get looked at by a BMW repair person told me that there was a recall on that same issue and the dealer should not have sold me the car without telling me that information. He then told me it is the ( seat occupancy detector passenger side and resistence to high firing circuit, belt tensioner passenger side. He said to call BMW so I did and they told me that the recall repair time expire a year before I purchased the car. No one ever shared this information with me and now it is not safe to have my kids or husband in the passenger seat because of this problem.. BMW should have extended that if it was never done when they originally sent out the notice to whom ever had the vehicle before. If something isnt done from the reall knowing its a safelty issue then it should be extended until repaired. It is not safe to drive the vehicle and its a large bill for me to repair something that was already recalled
