AIR BAGS, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BELIEVE THE SEAT SENSOR IN MY 2006 BMW 325I FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS FAULTY. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, THE LIGHT COMES ON THAT SHOWS THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ON AND ALSO THAT THE PASSENGER IS NOT BUCKLED, WHETHER THEY ARE BUCKLED, OR THERE ISN'T A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT AT ALL. WHETHER I AM STATIONARY OR DRIVING/MOVING AT ANY SPEED, THOSE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, AND WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME, THEN THEY COME BACK ON AGAIN. I AM IN A CARPOOL SO I FREQUENTLY AM THE DRIVER AND I HAVE SOMEONE IN THAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURIES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. NEWER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THIS SEAT SENSOR ON RECALL, SO THE 2006 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE WON'T START, AND STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR INITIALLY, BUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I TESTED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, BUT STILL NOT ABLE TO START OR TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS TO BE THE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELV LOCKING SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL RECALL: ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WE HAVE PURCHASED, AND FIXED THE BMW REGULATOR ON OUR 2006 BMW 325I . AS OF LATE THE PASSENGER WINDOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAS BECOME JAMMED AND STUCK AND STARTED ROLLING DOWN ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION , THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS HAVE ALSO INCURRED THE SAME ISSUE. ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR THAT WILL NO LONGER OPEN , WITHOUT HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK, AND LOCK ONCE EXITING THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL OCCUR. SAFETY IS EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY WITH A SECOND BABY ON THE WAY. SO HERE WE HAVE A WINDOW THAT IS NOT ROLLING UP AT ALL. I'M UNSURE IF I SHOWED ALLOW MORE WORK TO BE DONE , DUE TO THE FEAR OF HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR REPEATEDLY. THANKS IN ADVANCE ! I LOOK FORWARD TO A RESPONSE .

THE VALVE COVER GASKET KEEPS LEAKING OIL. I HAVE FIXED THIS TWICE IN THE LAST 30K MILES. NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. VALVE COVER GASKET SHOULD NOT GO BAD EVERY 10K TO 15K MILES. IF NEGLECTED IT WILL CAUSE ENGINE FIRE DUE TO OIL.

OUR VEHICLE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE 2007 MODEL WITH THE SAME INLINE SIX ENGINE. THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT IN OUR GARAGE DUE TO ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WHICH REMAINS ACTIVE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN 12 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD BEEN SEEN BY TWO BMW DEALERSHIPS THE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING.

DOORS GET LOCKED AND CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE. ONCE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WITH REMOTE KEY BUTTONS. IF YOU ARE INSIDE THE CAR ONLY WAY TO GET OUT IS BREAK THE WINDOW OR LOWER THE WINDOW AND THEN GET OUT. EXACTLY SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND IN HIS FORD LINCOLN WHEN THEY WERE TRAPPED INSIDE AFTER AN ACCIDENT ,CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND HE, HIS WIFE AND 12 YEAR OLD SON WERE ALL BURNT ALIVE. WE RAISED THE OTHER SON WHO WAS NOT IN THAT DEADLY CAR. THIS BMW 315I CAR IS TOTALLY UNSAFE AND THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO THEM BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS FAULTY, UNSAFE CAR. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I HAD TO TAKE OUT THE HARD KEY FROM THE REMOTE UNIT AND OPENED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BUT COULD NOT OPEN OTHER THREE DOORS FROM INSIDE OR FROM REMOTE UNIT. NOW THE CAR IS WITH BMW OF FREMONT DEALERSHIP IN 44175 AUTO MALL CIR ,FREMONT, CALIFORNIA 510-659-7902
