ENROUTE FROM PALO ALTO TO MOUNTAIN VIEW AND WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE (CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY) WHEN THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING.

PRIOR TO BOTH INCIDENTS THE PANEL INDICATED AN ALERT "TRANSMISSION FAIL" AND A "CHECK ENGINE" ALERT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP AND HAD TO BE PUSHED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION TO A STREET WHERE IT COULD BE PARKED SAFELY. INITIAL AUTOBODY ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS RELATED TO BATTERY REPLACEMENT, HOWEVER, TRANSMISSION RELATED FAULT CODES STILL SHOWED UP. FORTES BROTHERS AUTOBODY DISCOVERED "SAFETY" RELATED NOTIFICATIONS ISSUED BY BMW AND THEREFORE RECOMMENDED TAKING CAR TO BMW.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR MAT UNDER THE OCCUPANTS SEAT MALFUNCTIONS MAKING THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATE. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ REGARDING THIS, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT EVEN IF SOMEBODY IS OCCUPYING THAT SEAT. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY BMW FOR THIS ISSUE IN MARCH OF 2009, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED. MY MANUFACTURE DATE ON THE CAR SAYS DEC/2005, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN ON BMW'S WEBSITE IT STATES NOV/2005. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE BULLETINS FROM BMW THEY STATE THAT THE 5 SERIES 2006 WITH A BUILD DATE OF NOVEMBER 2005 AND PRIOR ARE AFFECTED WITH THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR MAT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS ISSUE FOR BMW, YOU WILL FIND THAT MANY BMW OWNERS HAVE THIS EXACT SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN OMITTED FROM THE RECALL. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE REOPENED AS BMW IS TAKING A NEGATIVE STANCE TOWARDS THE OWNERS THAT WERE OMITTED FROM THE RECALL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 48000 miles.

BMW M5 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 27, 2013.BMW M5 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . MY VEHICLE HAS A LIGHT ON FOR AN AIR BAG HAVING A FAULT. AFTER VISITING THE BMW DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A USUAL PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SENSOR DETECTS IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING OR THE SEAT IS VACANT. BMW HAS INFORMED ME THAT ITS A SIMPLE SENSOR, AND USUALLY WOULD HAVE A MINIMAL COST. BUT INSTEAD BMW WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR REPLACING THE ENTIRE SEAT. SO THE $20 SENSOR TURNS INTO A $4000 JOB. THE MOST INTERESTING THING, IS THAT BMW KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY IT..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBSNB93566B. Bmw M5 2006 problem was reported in SAN PABLO, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
