I'VE RECENTLY (LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO), PURCHASED A 2006 BMW X5 WITH HEATED SEATS. JUST THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE LESS THAN 30F, I TURN ON THE HEATED SEATS TO THE NUMBER II POSITION AND AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I START SEEING SMOKE/STEAM RISING UP FROM MY PELVIC AREA. I COULD SMELL IT WAS ALMOST LIKE PLASTIC BURNING. I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEATS AND PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND AFTER INSPECTION, THE LOWER SEAT LEFT SIDE BOLSTER HAD A BURN MARK IN IT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. ALTHOUGH THE CAR COMES WITH ONLY A 90DAY/3000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FROM THE PURCHASING DEALER, I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT BUT I CERTAINLY PLAN TO BUT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY WILL DENY COVERAGE FOR ANY REPAIRS. *TR.Vehicle was on fire.

BMW X5 SAV 2006 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2012.BMW X5 SAV 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED, LEAVING AIRBAG IN PERMANENTLY DEACTIVATED STATE. THIS DEFECT WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBJECT OF RECALL IN OTHER VEHICLES IN SAME MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT PARTICULAR MONTH OF MANUFACTURE OF MINE ACCORDING TO VIN. HAVE REPORTED TO BMW DEALER AND BMW NA; CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AT BMW NA INITIALLY INDICATED THEY MIGHT COVER IT BUT THEN REQUEST WAS DENIED BY MANAGEMENT. I HAVE REQUESTED THEY SIMPLY DEACTIVATE THE SENSOR AND LEAVE THE AIRBAG ON, WHICH WOULD SEEM TO BE A LOW-COST REPAIR. THEY HAVE STATED THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE IN DOING SO. THE STATED PURPOSE OF THE SENSOR IS TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY COST FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AFTER AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CLEAR DESIGN DEFECT: IF THE SENSOR FAILS, THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE LEFT IN THE ACTIVE CONDITION, NOT A DISABLED CONDITION. THE DEALER IS REQUESTING $1276 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT SENSOR. BMW KNOWS THEY ARE MAKING MONEY OFF THIS REPAIR AND HAS NO INCENTIVE TO FIND A LOW COST REPAIR THAT WOULD SAVE LIVES. SOFTWARE DEACTIVATION OF THE SENSOR WOULD INCREASE SAFETY SINCE SOME WILL BE UNABLE TO AFFORD A REPAIR OF THIS EXPENSE AND DRIVING WITHOUT A PASSENGER SIDE SRS PUTS OCCUPANTS AT SIGNIFICANT RISK. I AM A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AND I HAVE NOTIFIED BMW NA OF THIS AND IF BMW CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO PROVIDE A LOW-COST REPAIR FOR THIS CONDITION I WILL BE WILLING TO TESTIFY AT TRIAL ATTESTING TO THE FACT THAT BMW WAS INFORMED OF THIS ISSUE AND ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBLE LIABILITY IF ANYONE HAS AN ACCIDENT IN A 2006 X5 AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN INCREASED PASSENGER INJURY; CONTACT ME AT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles.
