I was driving the car and my wife was a passenger in the front seat. Another car hit our car on the front driver side deploying both front airbags. I had back injuries and my wife lost vision in both her eyes. She is still not able to see even though she had several surgeries at mayo clinic in rochester, mn. Every surgeon she has seen has said that this is the worst airbag injury they have ever seen. Updated 09/17/14..updated 10/01/14 updated 01/26/15. Updated 02/4/2015

Out of the blue the airbag light came on. I became concerned and did not want to drive it- I didn't know why or what to do about it. The light stays on constantly and never goes out. I had an auto mechanic look at it but he had not knowledge of what it might be. I continued to drive the care and the light remained on. I wasn't driving it everyday so I was not worried very much. But I had read about a recall of some BMW's were having problems with their airbags and I thought that could be it. I am going to get to the bottom of this problem as that seems to be the only problem I have been experiencing with my car, hope this works out and it can be repaired as it is a safety issue and how would I know if the airbag will deploy if I should need it for protecting me and my family.

Was driving on a cloverleaf ramp in baton rouge, la. (hwy 61 & Florida blvd.) when passenger side air bag deployed causing me to veer to the right. I then hit a drain on the curbing and blew out both right side tires and bent rims. Outside temp was 90* with no rain. ( not sure of exact vehicle mileage B/C car is in shop) I can get pictures if needed.

Airbag light has been on for the last 7 years. BMW pensacola and century BMW greenville, SC have been unable to fix this problem after many visits and $1000. In repair charges. BMW pensacola said they did not know what else to do and would not refund my charges. Century BMW wanted me to pay $775. To try to change a computer part that they did not know would fix it. They refuse to say if the airbags will work during an accident. BMW of North America says it is a dealer problem.

My air bag light came on and will not go off. I know someone else who has the same make, model and year as I do and they told me that their air bag light is on as well. I am afraid that if I were involved in an accident my air bag will not work. I feel that this could definitely be a safety issue and should be resolved immediately. Thank you for your time and consideration in getting this issue resolved.

Inadvertent deployment of my driver side airbags. I was driving on highway at approximately 50 mph (due to rain) and my airbags deployed. I was able to safely pull over to side of road. Tire was blown out and there was some damage to bottom of car from debris, but it is unclear if blowout and debris damage happened before or after airbag deployment. Either way, there was no impact with any object that should have caused this deployment. My car has not been driven for nearly 4 weeks now and it should have only needed a tire replacement. Any other damages could have been fixed in my own time, but car is not drivable B/C of airbag deployment and repair costs are very high.
