None of the airbags deployed in our car accident. We were at a stand still, or moving very slowly and another car hit us in the rear driver side panel near the tire, at high impact.
Hello, my 2009 BMW e92 328I is experiencing an issue where the front passenger seat sensor is not functioning properly, which will cause the airbag and seatbelt to not function as intended. There have been recalls on other models for the same issue, but with the same design and parts, I do not understand how my car is not covered. ([link removed] this is a very dangerous problem. I have read on several online forums that it is a recurring problem in the cars after the effective recall date.
