The passenger seat cushion has a sensor mat that activates the passenger airbag.  With relatively fewer miles and very few passengers, the passenger seat didn't experience the normal use as likely modeled by BMW.  However, during the fall of 2020, (during the height of covid), a warning light stating the passenger air bag had a malfunction.  We were in the midst of nursing and the warning light then went out during the first three months of 2021.    When it came on again in May, 2021, I asked BMW about it as was told, \"That's Campaign 13V-564.  The front passenger airbag seat occupancy sensor mat isn't working.  This means, if there's an accident, the airbag protecting the passenger won't deploy.\"  Apparently there as a \"safety check\" on this in 2014 and the recall closed as of January 2021....so, I was four months past the expiration date of their safety check for this important malfunctioning seat cushion.    As advised by a BMW representative, I requested \"goodwill assistance\" with covering all or some of this repair (estimated at approx $2k).  I was just told that BMW will not provide any goodwill assistance with this and there is apparently no one within BMW Customer  Relations I can escalate this to.  So, I am reaching-out to the NHTSA in hopes someone can assist me in navigating this.  It seems to me, an important safety item such as a passenger sensor for airbag deployment on a car with fewer miles (and passengers) than average, experiencing a brief warning that didn't repeat during covid when we were unable to get to a BMW dealership, and for a \"safety check\" issue that just ended prior to us contacting BMW to repair is something I don't think BMW should be able to dodge.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2006","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X5","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
