Malfunction of the passenger restraint system. Warning indicator states system is not working properly.

- San Gabriel, CA, USA

MY CAR (2013 BMW 528i) STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE EVERYTIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN THIS STARTED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THESE TWO SYMPTOMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ONE ANOTHER. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE IS BUT THE STEERING WHEEL TICKING IS CAUSING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION WHICH POSES A HUGE SAFTEY ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AS I'VE SEEN IT IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION AND IT SHOULD NOT BE.

A vehicle(SUV) ended my car in the rear in a pretty good speed when I was in the slow traffic almost stationary(5 mph). Crash impact was high. Had to call in an ambulance as my friend sitting in passenger seat was hurt badly. As we realize after the crash, engine got stopped & airbags failed to deploy due to fault in airbag. Engine did not start later & the car was towed to a facility in prospects heights. This happened on a city highway when driving in a straight lane. Very light snow showers at that time around 6pm on 02/26.

When making turns I hear a clicking noise. Going into turn and coming out of turn noise can be heard from the steering wheel itself. This happens only when making turns anywhere. After investigating come to my attention that the clock spring just for no reason breaks connection which make the air bag restraint light com on and you loose control of any functions on steering wheel. Functions like cruise control, radio control...etc. Connections inside a steering wheel shouldn't be snapping off if they were designed correctly in a 2013 vehicle. I believe this may have something to do with airbag recall as well. In that these part were either not installed correctly or they were just faulty.

My wife was turning hear steering wheel and heard a "click" and then she got some lights on her dashboard. Upon further inspection, the "clock spring" failed. From reading online this seems to be a fairly common failure with 2013 BMW 5 series. It is a serious design flaw because when it fails the following items are no longer operable (horn, airbag or any other items that are located on the steering wheel).

My care has 30000 miles; warranty expired in Nov 2016. I have never been in an accident and have maintained the car very well. I got a warning sign that read 'passenger restraint system malfunction'. I took it to the dealer and he said the szl (steering angle sensor) and the passenger seat mat have to be replaced. In reading several threads I think this is a common complaint that is not addressed by BMW. I am unclear as to why a restraint system issue doesn't fall under safety which would allow for coverage under extended warranty.

My 2013 BMW horn went out a week ago, I paid almost 300 dollars to have it fix and my brake fluid changed. A week later my horn went out again once my driver restraint system light came on. Once this light came on my cruise control button stopped working as well as my horn. Which is everything connected to the steering wheel this could be an airbag problem BMW has called certain models of these cars on recall which mine doesn't fall under this recall. This issue is a common issue among BMW 5 series models should be addressed these are important safety issues.BMW takes no responsibility for their faulty wiring, bad airbags, or any other safety issues that are common problems amongst their vehicles. My vehicle is a 2013 model and it is now 2017 parts that shouldn't be malfunctioning until 10 years or better have occurred. Driver restraint issues are safety hazards faulty wiring is a safety hazard. Thanks for your time.

Driver restraint /airbag system warning light on to no apparent reason. Dealer states that the car must have been in accident ，but only a minor scuff on the rear number was observed. Dealer stated the minor scuff has caused the system lights to stay on and will not cover the cost under the warrantee. Car engine on ，light remains on when stopped and moving.
