Chronological view of owner reports
During a recent auto collision my airbags did not deploy. I swerved to avoid another vehicle entering the intersection from my left, he hit my rear left driver's side quarter panel and I subsequently hit a tree. This was noted by the paramedics first on scene as well as by the firemen and police when they arrived. I have notified BMW of North America, USAA insurance (my insurance company), and now you. The vehicle is a total loss and was towed to Leesburg Virginia by roadrunner wrecker service.com
Passenger restraint system malfunction light comes on.
"Driver restraint malfunction" appeared on the vehicle's dashboard. Brought car to dealership for investigation,and they suggested replacing the unused airbag with a new airbag.
WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A LOUD POP NOISE WAS HEARD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. WE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BMW FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED INITIAL REPORT WHERE THEY CLAIM THE AIRBAG HAS FAILED AND WANT US TO PAY $3000 TO REPLACE IT.
