2016 BMW 3 Series Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Yes

Hi BMW I have noticed issues with my seatbelts but more specifically my engine light keeps turning on. My driving seat will not buckle. Simple last Saturday.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT IN A 2016 BMW 320I WITH FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE IMPACT. IT WAS SO BAD, IT PUSHED BACK MY ENTIRE AXLE, WHEELS, ETC. MY DRIVER SIDE NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS TRAVELING DOWNHILL AT OR ABOVE THE SAME SPEED. SOS BUTTON DID NOT WORK EITHER. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET (INTERSECTION). THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAD TWO MINORS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON MY DASH, ETC. SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAGS, ETC. COLLISION EXPERT CONFIRMED SENSORS DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE MADE FRONT AND SIDE, CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THEY EVEN ANOTHER VEHICLE (SAME MAKE AND YEAR) IN THEIR LOT WITH SAME IMPACT LOCATIONS- THOUGH NOT AS SIGNIFICANT/SERIOUS- SHOWING ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT ON 2/14/2018 IN WHICH WE WERE REAR ENDED AND SHOVED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH DISCHARGED INSIDE THE DASH BUT DID NOT DEPLOY INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. WE WERE SITTING STILL IN TRAFFIC WHEN WE WERE REAR ENDED BY A FULL SIZE CHEVROLET PICK UP TRUCK THAT HIT US ABOUT 35-40 MPH. WE WERE BOTH TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND SHE IS SUFFERING FROM SEVERE BACK AND NECK PAIN, AS WELL AS BRUISING TO HER ARM, SHOULDER, AND BREAST.

TAKATA RECALL - A SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND/OR ITS TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM. DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN SHE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. AFTER IMPACT, HER VEHICLE TRAVELED ACROSS THE YELLOW LINE, ACROSS A SOUTHBOUND LANE AND OFF THE ROADWAY INTO A 4 FOOT DITCH. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILED TO DEPLOY BOTH WHEN STRUCK BY THE OTHER VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE IMPACT WITH THE DITCH. DRIVER WAS INJURED AND TAKEN TO EMERGENCY ROOM. PASSENGER IN HER VEHICLE WAS REMOVED BY THE JAWS OF LIFE AND AIRLIFTED FOR LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.

IN MARCH 2017, I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE RIGHT LANE OF A PARKWAY, WHEN A VEHICLE THAT WAS TWO CARS BEHIND ME, ACCELERATES OUT TO THE MIDDLE LANE, HE LOSES CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE, HIS CAR GOES TO THE LEFT LANE THEN TURNS AROUND ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO ME, AND COLLIDES INTO MY VEHICLE PUSHING ME OFF ONTO THE EMBANKMENT, CONTINUING TO COLLIDE INTO MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, BEFORE HIS CAR GOES UP INTO THE AIR AND LANDS ON THE HOOD, BACKWARDS. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE, AND THE MULTIPLE COLLISIONS AGAINST MY VEHICLE SEEMED ENDLESS. WHEN HIS CAR WENT UP IN THE AIR, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CRUSH ME. NONE OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS NOR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DESPITE THE MULTIPLE COLLISIONS ALL ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE. AT THE FIRST STRIKE, MY HEAD WENT FORWARD AND BACK HARD, MULTIPLE TIMES; THROAT CONSTRICTED DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING, IMMEDIATE ONSET OF VISE LIKE HEADACHES FROM FOREHEAD TO ENTIRE HEAD, SPASMS, SEVERE DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, WANTED TO VOMIT BUT IT COULD NOT PASS THROUGH. IMMEDIATE SPASMS IN MY NECK GOING TO MY ENTIRE BACK TIGHTENING IT ALL UP, THROAT WAS TIGHT, HARD TO SWALLOW; CHEST PAIN AND HEAVINESS/PRESSURE, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, ABDOMINAL PAIN, TREMBLING, BOTH SHOULDERS WITH PAIN, LEFT ARM HEAVINESS; LEFT GREATER THAN RIGHT. LEGS FELT LIKE JELLO. I FELT MY ENTIRE NERVOUS SYSTEM WAS JOLTED FROM MY HEAD TO MY FEET,VIBRATING/BUZZING LIKE A SEA CHURNING INSIDE OF ME. AS THE CAR KEPT COLLIDING INTO ME, I WAS YELLING,"I AM GOING TO DIE" OVER AND OVER, SOBBING. INCONSOLABLE. ONCE IT ALL STOPPED, I TRIED TO OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT OPEN IT WAS STUCK. I OPENED THE SUN ROOF TO WAVE MY HANDS TO SIGNAL FOR HELP. PEOPLE CAME OVER TO ME, THEY CALLED 911; MY LEGS FELT WEAK, LIKE JELLO. POLICE EXTRICATED ME, I WAS PUT IN AN AMBULANCE WITH A NECK COLLAR. MY CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. UNDERGOING MEDICAL TREATMENT.

I WAS DRIVING IN A 25 MPH ZONE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, DRY ROADS DURING DAYLIGHT AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, THEY LOCKED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE TOWARDS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR HEAD ON. I HIT THE CAR ON THE LEFT SIDE AND DAMAGE TO MY CAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR

FRONT OF VEHICLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. MY CAR REAR ENDED A CAR AND DAMAGE WAS ENOUGH TO FRACTURE MY STERNUM AND BREAK 2 RIBS TO ME. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND FRONT END WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. FRONT IS PUSHED OVER FRONT TIRES AND HOOD FOLDED. I HAVE PHOTOS. VEHICLE WAS SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC AND TURN ON A CITY STREET.
