What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 BMW 750li. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the driver's side. The vehicle flipped over three times but none of the air bags deployed. The vehicle was destroyed and the driver sustained injuries to the neck, back and both knees. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Driver side occupant detection mat is not functioning according to the dealer. The passenger side mat has been previously recalled on this vehicle. The airbag light is continuously on and the I drive car data shows passenger mat is not working. But the dealer says the driver side is out somehow. From what I understand the mat disables the airbag when there is insufficient weight applied.
