2011 BMW 328 I 4 DR AWD

Engine Compartment Suddenly Caught Fire and Came into the Vehicle Cabin of my 2011 328i E90 BMW on 12/04/2021 at 10:04 AM PST in the city of Garden Grove, CA. Emergency first responder Captian Rick King of the Garden Grove Fire Department conducted an initial investigation of the cause of the fire due to a defective fuel pump. BMW North America LLC should be held accountable for this accident as it could have cause serious injury or death.

Vehicle stalled with no power while driving highway speed. Engine is locked up and needs to be replaced

The 4 vanos bolts that secure the housing for the variable camshaft timing adjustment (VANOS) unit broke and fell into my oil pan. This has caused oil to leak onto and break the eccentric shaft sensor. This has caused my vehicles engine to loose power. Had this occurred at a faster speed, it could have harmed myself and others on the road. My engines light came on just a few miles before my cars engine had weakened power. I pulled off the road to safety. I had my bmw towed and it is currently at the dealership with an estimated quote of $4963.91 to fix. I’ve had my bmw for less than two years. It’s had one previous owner and no accidents. It only has 64,984 miles. According to the U.S Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, the average highway miles driven per year in 2019 were 14,263. If this is accurate, my vehicle would have roughly 142,000 miles for a 10 year old bmw. My car has less than half of this.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 328XI. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, an odor appeared from the exhaust pipe and under the hood where the engine was located. The contact mentioned that every year the oil was changed at an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the valve gasket failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred. The contact feels unsafe driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact with a case number. The dealer was contacted and confirm that no recalls under the VIN. The contact mentioned NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V683000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) as a possible solution to the failure however the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximate 52,202

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 328i. The contact stated that after driving, the vehicle failed to restart without warning. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed that the camshaft housing bolts had sheared off. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the repairs were not covered under the warranty. The contact stated that the failure was like NHTSA campaign number: 14V176000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Vanos System Camshaft gear Bolts sheared causing loss of power in the freeway.

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 328i. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, he heard an abnormal grinding sound coming from the engine before the vehicle inadvertently stalled. The service engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled to the side of the roadway and restarted the vehicle and continued driving his residence. The contact stated upon checking the engine, he noticed that the vanos bolts had fractured and were missing from the engine. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the Vin was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V176000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the Vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

My driver and passenger airbags deployed because my car all of the sudden lurched forward on it's own and I bumped the car in front of me and when it happened my car started accelerating and revving all on it's own into the car ahead and I was trying to make it stop by pushing the brakes but the brake pedal wouldnt move it was hard and wouldnt move so my car kept accelerating bumping the car in front of me over and over and I was stomping down on the brake pedal to make it stop but it wouldnt. After about 30 seconds of this it just stopped. The airbags were blowing out very hot air that burned and bruised my left arm very badley and myself and my minor passenger were choking from it. My driver side window and windshield were both broken from the explosion of the airbags but the body of my car wasn't damaged. I had noticed that sometimes the display in my car wouldnt show all the car controls but never imagined the car would malfunction like this. Now the repair shop wants the same amount of money that I initially paid for the car to repair it and my insurance is not covering it. Please help because this was not my fault the car malfunctioned.

It seems that the Bolts holding the Vanos unit intact have come loose or sheared and cause a loud high pitch squealing along with a higher volume in oil loss and this has also cause a seal of some sort or go bad and excess oil burning. Also, the car has a loud tick in the engine now. My vin number is not accepted u der the recall list but my cars make model and year for the credentials along with the problems that the engine continues to have. I would Appreciate it if the company adds this car and it’s vin to the list of recall so i can Have it properly fixed

My son was injured by the impact of an accident on May 30th, 2021. He was driving when a car sped past him, lost control, slammed into the center median guardrail, then into the drivers side door of my sons car. The impact was strong enough to dent and puncture a large hole in the door, yet the side impact air bags did not deploy. Nor did any other air bag. we still currently have the vehicle.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND IS REPORTING THE SAME TROUBLE CODES RELATED TO RECALL NUMBER: 17V683000. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THIS MATTER COULD BE INVESTIGATED AND MY VEHICLES VIN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE, ENGINE KNOCKING, VANOS BOLT FAILURE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE TURN SIGNAL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER - BMW OF PALM SPRINGS (3737 EAST PALM CANYON DR, PALM SPRINGS, CA 92264, (760) 699-2500) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,782.

MY ISSUE IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 14V-176, ALSO LISTED AS SI B11 07 14. IT IS A FAULTY VANOS UNIT WITH FAILING BOLTS. MY CAR'S MODEL AND YEAR ARE LISTED IN BOTH OF THESE DOCUMENTS, HOWEVER MY SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY DAMAGED DUE TO THE VANOS BOLTS SHEARING OFF COMPLETELY AND FALLING INTO THE OIL PAN, AS DESCRIBED EXACTLY IN THE ABOVE RECALL NOTICES. THIS IS THE DIAGNOSIS FROM BMW OF SEATTLE. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MY CAR SUFFERS THE SAME FAULTY PART AS LISTED AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS IN ERROR THAT IT IS NOT. AS IT STANDS, BMW CANNOT HELP ME AND ARE FORCING ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TELLS ME THAT MY VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T, BUT BECAUSE IT ISN'T THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. PLEASE CORRECT THE DOCUMENTATION TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE, WHICH MATCHES THE LISTED VEHICLES IN THE VANOS RECALL PAPERWORK. THANK YOU.

BOLTS HOLDING THE VANOS UNIT HOUSING BROKE AND DAMAGED MY CAR ENGINE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE US MARKET AS THEY HAVE DONE IN CHINESE MARKET BACK IN THE 2014. ENGINE IS MAKING LOUT NOISE AND DAMAGED WITH COUPLE BOLTS SNAPPED INSIDE. THE CAR IS NOT WORKING AND IS WITH BMW GALLERY IN ROCKLAND, MA. THE CAR HAS ONLY 11,0000 MILES ON IT, WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE ENGINE PROBLEM LIKE THAT. HTTPS://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/AMP/2014/04/11/BMW-BROADENS-ENGINE-BOLT-RECALL-NEARLY-HALF-MILLION-CARS-WORLDWIDE/

I HAVE HAD SEVEN (7) ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT (EVERY WHEEL AT LEAST ONCE, THE RIGHT FRONT TWICE, AND THE LEFT FRONT THREE TIMES) SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2011. IT CURRENTLY HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (<41,000 MILES); THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN JANUARY 2014 AT ABOUT 12, 700 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE AN ABS WHEEL SENSOR ON ANY OF THE NUMEROUS OTHER CARS WITH ABS THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1989. THE LOSS OF ABS FUNCTION CREATES AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ALL COME ON - INTERMITTENTLY INITIALLY, BUT SOON LIT AT ALL TIMES. THE FAILURES OCCURRED IN 2014, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2017, AND 2020.

CYLINDER HEAD BOLT DETACHMENT FROM FACTORY PRODUCTION CAUSING MASSIVE OIL LEAK ON ENGINE BLOCK. MY VEHICLE RAPIDLY LOST 1 QUART OF OIL IN 2.1 MILES OF DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED BMW SERVICE CENTER, THEY FOUND THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD BOLT WAS COMPLETE SEVERED FROM THE BOLT STEM CAUSING OIL TO SPRAY OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS DETACHMENT CAUSED OIL TO SPRAY OUT OF THE ENGINE, RAPIDLY DEPLETING OIL FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS OIL SPRAYED RAPIDLY ONTO THE ALTERNATOR, BELT AND OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE BAY. THE CERTIFIED BMW MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS SEEN FREQUENTLY WITH BMW FROM THE FACTORY PRODUCTION METHODS AND TORQUE SPECS IN FACTORY PRODUCTION PROCESS. THE CYLINDER HEAD BOLT BECOMES SEVERED FROM THE BOLT STEM/THREADED PORTION OF THE BOLT (SEE PICTURES INCLUDED). ACCORDING TO CERTIFIED BMW MECHANIC, THIS BOLT WOULD ONLY BE MANIPULATED DURING FACTORY PRODUCTION. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE OIL DRAINED COMPLETED OUT OF MY VEHICLE OR BEFORE THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE BAY BECAUSE OF OIL SPRAYING. I AM CONCERNED THAT A MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENT ON MY VEHICLE FAILED. THIS FAILURE POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND QUALITY ISSUE. THIS IS A PART INTEGRITY/QUALITY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY BMW IMMEDIATELY.

RECENTLY I DROVE MY CAR AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A HIGH PITCHED NOISE. I SMELLED A GASY BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID BOLTS HAD COME LOSE IN THE ENGINE. I ASKED IF IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE AND HE SAID HE HAD SEEN IT WITH MANY BMW CARS OUT OF NOWHERE.

MY VEHICLE WINDOWS ARE INOPERABLE, HAZARD LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE, SIDE MIRRORS ARE INOPERABLE, TURNING SIGNALS ARE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE TURNING SIGNALS ARE INOPERABLE CREATING A HAZARD. IF VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS IS INOPERABLE CREATING A POTENTIAL VEHICLE COLLISION . WINDOWS UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN IN AN EVENT OF BEING PULLED OVER. THE COMPONENT OR PART THAT IS CREATING THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS THE FRM MODULE OR FOOTWELL MODULE OF THE VEHICLE.

MY CAR SHOWS IT IS OVER HEATING AND IT IS GETTING HOT WHEN I RECENTLY BEEN USING HEATING SYSTEM COOLANT IS AT LEVEL SO IT IS THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AS THE RECALL STATS HOW DO I GET MY CAR FIXED AND WHY WASN'T THIS VIN # ON THE LIST MY CAR SHOWED IT WAS HOT AND IT WANTED TO LOSE POWER. I WAS DRIVING ON A HWY 111

ALUMINUM BOLTS ON VANOS INTAKE ACTUATOR/PHASER SNAPPED. CAUSED INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. HAD REPAIRED, ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS, ENGINE IS IN TIMING. CALLED BMW DEALERSHIP IN PA.

THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO SHIFT FROM P TO R TO N TO D AND VICE VERSA DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE GEAR SHIFTER MECHANISM WHILE DRIVING. THIS BMW MODEL USES A MECHANICAL CABLE TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR. THE CABLE ASSEMBLY IS HELD IN PLACE BY A METAL CLIP (BMW SECURING PLATE, PART NUMBER 25161421252) SO THE GEAR KNOB CAN PUSH OR PULL THE CABLE FROM P TO R TO N TO D AND VICE VERSA INSIDE THE CABIN WHEN THE DRIVER SELECTS DIFFERENT GEARS. THIS CLIP CAN EASILY FALL OFF AS THE CABLE ASSEMBLY BENDS THE METAL CLIP OVER TIME. THIS ISSUE COULD BE FATAL IF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GEARS SUDDENLY FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED.

I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY MY LOCAL GARAGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GIVE ME THE CAR IN PIECES AND HAVE IS TOWED TO BMW. I TOLD MY MECHANIC TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR AND I WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIGHT BMW. CONTACTING YOU IS MY FIRST STEP IN FIGHT BMW. I WILL ALSO LOOK INTO A CLASS ACTION THAT MAY HAVE STARTED AGAINST THEM AND JOIN IT

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND MY 3RD TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT HAS NEVER WORKED. MY TIRES THE TREAD SEEMS LOW AND I SHOULD HAVE HAD NEW TIRES ON THE CAR WHEN I PURCHASED IT.

ALSO THE FRONT PLATE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE BACK LICENSE PLATE PANEL AND THESE SCREWS LOOK STRIPPED TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE AND WAS RUNNING ROUGHLY. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V176000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60-65MPH AND SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND LOOSE POWER. NO INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG UNTIL I PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I EXITED THE VEHICLE RAISED THE HOOD. NEXT, I NOTICED ALL THE ENGINE OIL HAD BEGAN DRAINING OUT OF THE VEHICLE INTO THE GROUND.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS BROKEN ON PASSENGER SIDE IF NOT FIXED IT'S IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN. PURCHASED USED ON 7/1/19 FROM A DEALSHIPS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO INCURE THE COST TO FIX IT. IF THE PASSENGER SEATBELT IS NOT BUCKLED WHETHER THERE'S A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT OR NOT IT WILL KEEP BEEPING UNTIL YOU PUT THE SEATBELT IN THE BUCKLE.

WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND CAR JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND TURNED OFF, WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH

EVEN AFTER CLEARING THE FAULTS, I AM CONTINUING TO GET A WARNING OF A PASSENGER "RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION." BEST GUESS BY BMW MECHANIC IS THAT IT'S THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT. I AM TOLD IT'S A "COMMON BMW PROBLEM." VARIOUS CHAT ROOM DISCUSSIONS CONFIRM THIS. SOME BMW MODELS HAVE HAD THE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO COVER THIS ISSUE (BY BMWNA) BUT NOT MY PARTICULAR MODEL. THIS IS A BMW-WIDE DESIGN FLAW THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND BMW EXPECTS ME TO PAY TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE.

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE THIRD PARTY DEALERSHIP, IT HAD AIRBAG PROBLEM, WHEN I TOLD THE GUY ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE WILL LOWER THE PRICE AND GIVE ME THE CAR. THE AIRBAG FOR THE CAR IS TOO EXPENSIVE SO HE DOESN'T WANT TO MESS AROUND WITH IT.

12/24/2018 FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING INDICATION VEHICLE WHILE SHUT OFF EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS I AM DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE FORCED TO PULL OVER BEFORE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND DOES NOT START!!! 01/2019 I HAVE HAD NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, 03/2019 FUEL PUMP REPLACED AGAIN AND THIS VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES 05/2019 AND AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY. LAST FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION JUNE 2019 I HAVE NOT DRIVEN VEHICLE IN 3 WEEKS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. EACH INCIDENTS HAS BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 65MPH.

12/24/2018 FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING INDICATION VEHICLE WHILE SHUT OFF EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS I AM DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE FORCED TO PULL OVER BEFORE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND DOES NOT START!!! 01/2019 I HAVE HAD NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, 03/2019 FUEL PUMP REPLACED AGAIN AND THIS VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES 05/2019 AND AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY. LAST FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION JUNE 2019 I HAVE NOT DRIVEN VEHICLE IN 3 WEEKS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. EACH INCIDENTS HAS BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 65MPH.

WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR CONDITIONING MY CAR OVERHEATS WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IT STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND I WAS STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS I NEED THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I AM IN FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN

THE SPARK PLUG COILD KEEP BREAKING BEFORE THEIR SERVACE INTERVAL. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 60K TO 80K MILES BUT THEY KEEP FAILING AT AROUND 35K TO 40K MILES. THIS MAKES THE ENGINE MISFIRE AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION.

MY CAR HAS 66K MILES ON IT AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS SHOWED UP ON THE DASH. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE FACT THAT THE SEATBELT DING GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN THE SEAT IF THE SEAT WAS HOT DUE TO SUN EXPOSURE. THE HEAT PANEL WAS REPLACED A FEW YEARS BACK FOR THE INCESSANT DINGING, BUT RETURNED A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT DING GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT ARE CONSTANTLY ON WHILE THE CAR IS ON.

3-TIMES THE CAR'S ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF BY THE COMPUTER WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE STREETS. CAR INFO SAYS "FUEL PUMP, SERVICE SOON" AND THEN THE CAR WON'T START FOR AN HOUR. FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT TO BEVERLY HILLS BMW CENTER AND THEY REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. NEXT DAY, FUEL ALL OVER OUR GARAGE. TOOK IT BACK FOR THEM TO SECURE IT BETTER.NEXT MORNING WE GOT GAS ALL OVER THE GARAGE AGAIN. I HAD TO SECURE THE FUEL PUMP. I'M NOT CONFIDENT IN THE SERVICE AT BMW CENTERS BUT I REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR TURNING OFF WHILE YOUR IN THE FAST LINE ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK THE THIRD TIME IT STOPPED.

NO POWER TO FUSE BOX . AUTOMOBILE WILL NOT START . DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY OUT . RECALL IN 2013 FOR THIS PROBLEM # 13V04000. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND CUT OFF AND WOULDN'T START. THIS HAPPEN IN 5 CONCOURSE PARKWAY PARKING DECK. NOBODY CAN FIND THIS RECALL . I NEED HELP

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM ERROR: WHEN PASSENGERS SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT A WARNING COMES ON AND DISABLES AIRBAG EVEN WHEN BELT IS BUCKLED OR NOT, DRIVING OR STATIONARY. WARNING STAYS ON AFTER PASSENGER EXITS. WARNING STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 50 MILES OF DRIVING AND RESETS UNTIL THE SEAT IS SAT IN AGAIN. ONLINE FORUMS SHOW RECALL FOR THIS IN OTHER MODELS BUT NOT MINE YET MUCH IS BEING REPORTED. SEEMS THE SEAT SENSOR PAD GOES BAD. VERY FEW PEOPLE SIT IN THIS SEAT SO THE SENSOR SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE MALFUNCTIONING/WEARING OUT. IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT FREQUENT SUGGESTING IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOM ISSUE AS OTHER BMW MODELS WITH RECALLED SEAT SENSOR PADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

VEHICLE SHOWED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WAS IDLING ROUGH DURING COMMUTE. ENGINE SHUTOFF/STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND RETURN HOME, BUT IDLE REMAINED ROUGH. ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE TO REPAIR SHOP ON ANOTHER DAY, IDLE WAS ROUGH UPON ENGINE START AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. CAR AGAIN STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. ENGINE WOULD NOT RE-START AND VEHICLE REQUIRED A TOW TO GET IT TO SHOP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER EXPLAINED THAT VANOS BOLTS HAD SHEARED AND IS THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED IN BMW RECALL CAMPAIGN VANOS SIB 14V-176. IN SPITE OF MY VEHICLE MATCHING THE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, AND ENGINE TYPE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BMW INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT SHOWING ANY RECALL. IT APPEARS BMW OF NORTH AMERICA HAS EITHER INTENTIONALLY OR THROUGH NEGLIGENCE OMITTED CERTAIN VEHICLE VINS FROM THE RECALL BULLETIN, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE MALFUNCTION SPECIFIED (SHEARING OF VANOS BOLTS).

MY 16 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER BMW WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN TO USE CAUTION AND TAKE THE CAR TO A BMW SERVICE CENTER FOR SERVICE. SHE IS A NEW DRIVER SHE COULD AT THAT TIME COULD NOT DRIVE OVER 20 MPH. SHE WAS TERRIFIED. WE CALLED FOR A TOW AT HER REQUEST. WE SENT FOR HELP

MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE, WAS LOUDER WHEN RUNNING BUT SITTING STILL. TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING APPARENTLY. I KNOW THIS HAPPENS TO CARS BUT MY BMW IS A 2011 WITH ONLY 65500 MILES AT THE TIME.. COSTED ME 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX AND A MONTH BEFORE THIS THEY DID A RECALL ON THE PCV VALVE AND HAD IT TORE APART. MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE'S MISTAKE WHEN REASSEMBLING THE PCV VALVE HEATER DURING RECALL AT BMW DEALER AT TOWNE AUTO IN WILLIAMSVILLE NEAR BUFFALO NY?? IDK BUT THAT IS LOW MILEAGE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN

MY 2011 328I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR, THEN THE HEATER MOTOR CUTTING IN AND OUT, DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM, PUT ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN (KEYS HANGING ON A RACK INSIDE MY HOUSE) SHORTING OUT THE CENTER CONSOLE MODULE. THEN THE CAR WAS PUT AWAY FOR THE WINTER, THE BATTERY WOULD NOT KEEP A CHARGE, TRIED STARTING IN THE SPRING AND THE ECU ELECTRICAL BOARD FRIED OUT, THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY FACTORY OR AUTO INSURANCE (TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS $4500.00) 'ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE' IS A LIE! BMW 'BURNED MOTOR WIRING'.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO I HAVE TO RETURN THE CAR BECAUSE ALL THIS ISSUES AND NOW THE CAR IS FOR SALE AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED AND LOST POWER. I TRIED TO RESTART WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY STREET WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND AND COMING FROM OPPISIT DIRECTION. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE WHILE WATCHING AND LOOKING AT OTHER CARS AVOIDING FROM HITTING IT. TWO JENTALMAN CAN TO HELP ME PUSH IT OUT OF TH THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. MY SISTER WAS WITH ME AND WAS TELLING TO TO PULL TO THE SIDE BUT WITH NO POWER THE CAR WAS STIFF/SUFF AND BRAKES WAS ALSO STIFF. VERY SCRARY!THE VEHICLE WAS JUST RELEASED FROM THE DEALER 2/26/2019. ON A RECALL BLOWER MOTER WIRING AND RECALL PCV VALVE HEATER./CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON,ENGINE MAKING KNOCKING SOUND. ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTS.

MY BMW 328I E93 HAS THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) LIGHT COME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE COMPUTER SHOWS ERROR CODE 2B3A (P1449 DMTL SYSTEM FAULT). I CLEARED THE CODE AND IT CAME BACK A WEEK LATER. I TRIED REPLACING THE GAS CAP AND THE ERROR STILL COMES BACK THE SAME. I WAS DOING FURTHER RESEARCH AND CAME ACROSS THIS ARTICLE (ATTACHED) FROM NHTSA.GOV DESCRIBING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME EXACT CODE AND EVEN MY ENGINE IS THE SAME N52K FOR MY E93 328I. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2012/SB-10051299-3508.PDF THE DMTL PUMP IS THERE TO HELP REDUCE EMISSIONS AND IF THE SYSTEM IS FAULTY, THE BMW DEALERSHIP SHOULD HONOR THE REQUEST FOR SERVICE WORK TO REPLACE THE DMTL PUMP UNDER THE EMISSIONS/EXTENDED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. I CALLED AND THEY SAID THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THIS VIN SO THEY CAN'T HELP ME...AND THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE...BUT I DO IN FACT HAVE MY EMISSIONS WARRANTY STILL IN EFFECT FOR THE VIN WHICH IS 8 YEARS OR 80,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. IT SEEMS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THESE FAULTY DMTL PUMPS/SYSTEMS AS THIS PROBLEM EXISTS FOR ENGINES LIKE MINE -THE N52K ENGINE. I ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND WORK CLOSELY WITH BMW NORTH AMERICA TO INSTITUTE A REMEDY FOR THIS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY AUNT'S FUNERAL WHEN THE CAR STALLED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION IN THE CITY (DENVER; EVANS AND UNIVERSITY) AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I CALLED TRIPLE A AND A TOW TRUCK HAULED AWAY THE CAR AFTER BEING HONKED AT FOR TWENTY MINUTES, WITH OTHER DRIVER'S GOING AROUND US BY USING THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MEANT FOR DRIVER'S GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE GARAGE MECHANIC FROM AUTO STATION SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS BROKEN BOLTS ON CAM PHASER; THEY FOUND ONE BOLT; THREE OTHERS ARE MISSING. WE HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE AT A COST OF OVER $7,000.

SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR USING THE MECHANICAL HANDLE, DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK. I HAVE TO USE MY KEY FOB TO REMOTELY UNLOCK THE CAR BEFORE THE DOOR HANDLE WILL WORK TO OPEN THE DOOR.

MY CLOSED ELECTRIC SUNROOF EXPLODED AT 70 MPH. NO ONE NEAR ME, NOT DRIVING UNDER ANYTHING. SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION, GLASS FROM THE CENTER RAINED DOWN ON ME AND THE REMAINING GLASS IS PUSHED OUT, NOT IN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE AND SPUTTERED WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, SMOKE WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC BMW (2571 SOM CENTER RD, WILLOUGHBY HILLS, OH), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT SMELLED BURNING WIRES AND STATED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR TURNED ON AND OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE SYMPTOMS WERE SIMILAR TO THOSE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V676000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC VERIFIED THE FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. BMW PORTLAND (2001 SW JEFFERSON ST, PORTLAND, OR 97201, (971) 340-4590) AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

MY MOONROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED TODAY (AROUND 5:40PM). I WAS DRIVING OPEN ROAD (CITY, ABOUT 30-35MPH) AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK OR OTHER FOREIGN BODY OTHER THAN GLASS IN MY CABIN. THE EDGES OF THE REMAINING GLASS OF THE MOONROOF TILTED UPWARDS. THE NOISE AND GLASS SURPRISED ME AND I DRIFTED INTO THE MEDIAN BRIEFLY BEFORE CALMING DOWN/REGAINING CONTROL.

I HAD INSTALLED 4 NEW TIRES [P225/45R-17 MICHELIN PRIMACY MXM4 ZP TPC SPEC, RUN FLAT] IN NOVEMBER 2017 ON MY 2011 BMW 328I. ONE YEAR LATER I STARTED TO GET TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON MY REAR RIGHT TIRE. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THE AIR, I NOTICED BOTH OF MY REAR TIRES WERE BOLD LIKE RACE CAR TIRES. I CALLED TIRE RACK TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE WARRANTY, THEY ASKED ME TO BY NEW ONES AND SEND THE OLD ONES BACK. I AM JUST CONCERN WITH THE CONDITION, IF THE TIRES SHOULD GET THIS BAD BEFORE ANY WARNING. I HAVE INCLUDED THE PICTURES OF THE TIRES THAT I PLAN TO RETURN TO TIRE RACK.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 62,900 MILES AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE AIR BAG ALARM CAME ON WITHOUT ANY SITUATION OR ACCIDENT OCCURED.

TAKATA RECALL AIBAG LIGHT IS ON IN VEHICLE. I BARELY DRIVE CAR AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS ON. WHEN I CHECK RECALLS 8 SEEN THIS MODEL IS AFFECTED BUT WHEN I PUT IN VIN NO CURRENT REVEAL. THIS IS VERY CONTRADICTING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I TURNED IT ON TO WARM UP AND THE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION CAME ON.

I HAVE A BMW 328I SERIES 2011 4 DOOR SEDAN VEHICLE ) I PURCHASED MY CAR 2018 APRIL AND SINCE THE 1 ST DAY IT HAS GIVEN ME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DIAGNOSTICS NOR ANY MECHANIC HAVE FOUND SOULTION THE VEHICLES BATTERY SUDDENLY DRAINS I HAVE GOTTEN 5 NEW BATTERYS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY END UP BEING BAD AND I ALWAYS HAVE A DRAINED BATTERY AFTER 3 OR LESS HOURS OF RECENTLY USAGE ALSO THE VEHICLE IN VARIOUS OCCASION TURNS OF IN THE FREEWAY ,WHILE DRIVING IN THE STREET ETC.

TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEMS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VECHICLE. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE THIRD PARTY DEALERSHIP, 'CHASE AUTOPLEX' HE RESETTED THE SETTINGS EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT AFTER GETTING HOME, THE NEXT DAY MY CAR SHOWED AIRBAG PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED HIM, HE SAID HE CAN'T HELP ME OUT WITH IT. SO MY QUESTION IS THAT, IF YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME GET A RECALL ON THIS AIRBAG, SO I DON'T HAVE TO SPENT MONEY ON IT MYSELF, I WILL APPRECIATE IT. THANKS

THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT NOTHING WOULD BE WRONG WITH THE CAR AT LEAST I THOUGHT.

TAKATA- RECALL RELATED TO AIRBAGS,& SEAT BELT, HOWEVER WHEN YOU CALL THE BMW OF MEMPHIS THEY STATE THERE IS NO RECALL OR REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAGS & SEAT BELTS.. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AS EVERYTIME YOU IN THE CAR THE SEAT BELT LIGHT & AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON ALL THE TIME AND STAY ON. THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL WITH A REMEDY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS SAFETY COME FIRST. HOWEVER, I HAVE CALL SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT ISSUE.THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IN MOTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V676000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 17V683000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG ODOR AND SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER. THE DEALER (ADVANTAGE BMW CLEAR LAKE, 400 GULF FWY S, LEAGUE CITY, TX 77573, (281) 557-7000) WAS CONTACTED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT AND THAT A SUPERVISOR WOULD CALL TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR A CALL FOR WEEKS, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

STOPPED AFTER EXCITING FREEWAY WITH TRAFFIC FLOW. SUV CAME UP BEHIND ME AND DIDN'T STOP AND HIT ME FROM BEHIND GOING 40-60 MPH. IMPACT THREW ME BACK THEN HEADREST DEPLOYED AND PUNCHED ME IN THE BACK OF HEAD WHICH I THEN HIT SEARING WHEEL. INSTANTLY FELT PAIN IN NECK AND HEAD. TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL. 2 C.T. SCANS DONE,CHEST XRAYS, AND 2 MRIS OF NECK AND BRAIN SHOWING SPINAL STENOSIS OF CERVICAL REGION, BULGE OF CERVICAL DISC WITHOUT MYELOPATHY. I ALSO SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND WHIPLASH WHICH IS STILL PRESENT AS OF TODAY. CAR TOTALLED. ONE OF DOCTORS STATED IMPACT FROM HEADREST DEPLOYING WAS SAME AS BEING PUNCHED IN BACK OF HEAD FROM A 200 LB. MAN.

11/2016 - CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND WOULDN'T RESTART. COMPLETE POWER FAILURE (ENGINE, BRAKES, STEERING) - MECHANIC REPLACED A GAS VALVE. THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE MORE. BMW REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW WANTS TO REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE. ALL THIS WITHIN 3000 MILES. SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. 04/03/18-104795 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR -BLOWER MOTOR RECALL WAS PERFORMED DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOURS WAS INOPERABLE -PCV VALVE RECALL -CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAUSE WAS THE FUEL PUMP. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 2766 MILES IN BETWEEN THE NEXT VISIT. 09/28/18-107561 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR -A/C SERVICE DUE TO THE A/C NOT BEING COLD ENOUGH. -SLUGGISH RUNNING (CAUSE WAS THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR) AN EMISSIONS ITEM THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE VEHICLE ALSO NEEDED THE (CHARCOAL CANISTER) REPLACED, ALSO AN EMISSIONS ITEM. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 487 MILES 10/23/18-108048 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR -AWD/ABS/EMERGENCY EBV LIGHT IS ON-( THIS IS CONTROLLED BY THE VTG MODULE) I'M NOT GETTING A SIGNAL FROM THIS MODULE. AFTER INSPECTING WHAT WE COULD OF THE MODULE THAT IS WHEN THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE PASSENGER REAR FLOORBOARD. -FUEL PUMP MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN (CAUSE IS THE EKPS MODULE) THE MODULE CONTROLS WHAT THE FUEL PUMP DOES. IF THIS MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING THEN THE FUEL PUMP ISN'T OPERATING PROPERLY RESULTING IN THE 'FUEL PUMP' MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE, YET THEY HAVE "FIXED" TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM ALREADY. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT A THIRD, EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE PART WOULD FAIL SO SOON?

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECIEVED SEVERAL RECALL LETTERS REGARDING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED MY CAR DRIVING DIFFERENTLY, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEING IN THE CAR OR HAVING OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND IT HAS STATED THAT CAR CAN GO ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING OR NOT AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE MY FAMIY AND MY SAFETY COMES FIRST.

I AM RECEIVING A 'PASSENGER RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION' MESSAGE ON MY DASH AND THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ARE STUCK ON. ONLINE BMW STATES "THE OC3 MAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHECK WITH YOUR DEALER, WE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON SOME MODELS." I CHECKED WITH MY DEALER AND THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY. THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS SAFETY REPAIR. I CANNOT SAFELY HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THE SEAT CEASES TO MOVE AS WELL. MY DEALER STATES IT COSTS $1350 TO FIX AND THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER IN THE PART AND HAVE MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE AN 'EXPIRATION DATE' AS TO WHEN THE DEALER WILL OR WILL NOT COVER IT. THE CARE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND HAS 63,000 MILES. THIS DEFECT WAS COVERED FOR THE 2006 AND 2007 MODELS AND BECAME A RECALL. I SEE ONLINE IN FORUMS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS IN THE 2011 MODEL. I AM FORCED TO PAY A MECHANIC TO FIX THIS NOW.

I HAD ALREADY TAKEN MY CAR INTO BMW PREVIOUSLY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE WORKED ON BY BMW AND CARMAX FOR PROBLEMS ON THESE PARTS AND RELATING PARTS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. BMW DEALER SHIP NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DEFECTS, THE SPARKS PLUGS KEEP BURNING OUT DUE TO THE CAR OVERHEATING.

HEAD GASKET LEAKS, OIL FILL NECK GASKET LEAKS, SERPENTINE BELT AND TENSIONER NEED REPLACING. 2011 BMW 328I SEDAN WITH 54,000 MILES. HAD CAR IN A BMW DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS AND RECOMMENED THE AFOREMENTIONED REPAIRS.

BEFORE ANY PROMPTS ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN EVER CAME UP, I WOULD OFTEN SOMETIMES SMELL SOMETHING BURNING OR GIVING OFF A HOT RUBBER SMELL WHICH I ADDRESSED AS SOON I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM QUEENS AUTO MALL AUCTION, THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IF I DID NOT SEE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY BMW 328 XI 2011 THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND A FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION DISPLAY PROMPTED ON MY NAVIGATION SCREEN. THE CAR STOPPED ON A BRIDGE IN THE LEFT LANE WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN AT ALL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. I DROVE IT BACK HOME 5 MIN AWAY AND GOT MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE BMW OF MANHATTAN WHERE THEY SAY THEY TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. ONCE I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, I DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MINUTES BEFORE THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO SWITCH INTO THE RIGHT LANE SO I CAN PULL OVER AND HAVE ANOTHER TOW COME AND TAKE MY CAR TO BMW OF MANHATTAN JUST AN HOUR AFTER I HAD IT SERVICED. I HAD THE RECALL FOR THE PCV VALVE HEATER REPLACED AT THAT SERVICE SO I KNOW THE SAME FIRE/RUBBER BURNING SMELL CAN'T POSSIBLY BE FROM THAT VALVE RECALL. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 3 SERIES, AND I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY BE AN UNDERLYING ISSUE WITH ALL 3 SERIES BMW 2006-2011. IN BOTH OF THESE SEPARATE INSTANCES I WAS DRIVING AND WAS VERY SCARED THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK CITY

IN LATE 2017-EARLY 2018 THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME WOULD COME ON OCCASIONALLY WHEN SOMETHING LESS THAN 5 POUNDS WAS ON THE SEAT AND NO ONE WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT. EVENTUALLY, IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME WHEN NOTHING AT ALL WAS ON THE SEAT. I ALWAYS NEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SEAT BELT CONNECTED. I LEARNED IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CONTACTED BMW DEALER IN EARLY 2018 WHEN THE CAR HAD 88254 MILES AND THEY SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST ABOUT $1300 TO FIX THE AIRBAG SENSOR MAT. I FOUND A REPAIR PLACE TO REPLACE THE OC3 PASSENGER SEAT MAT WITH BMW PART FOR ALMOST $900. I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM UNTIL AUGUST 2018 I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE EXACT SAME PART FOR OUR OTHER CAR, A 2004 X3 WHICH GAVE A WARRANTY EXTENSION AND OFFERED REIMBURSEMENT IF THE PART HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I CONTACTED BMW AND THEY REFUSED TO OFFER SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AIRBAG SENSOR MATTS IN MY 2011 328I. SINCE MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND, I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY BMWS, THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION WOULD INDICATE THAT THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE SENSOR ITSELF NOT SPECIFIC TO THE X3 MODEL. IN FACT THE SENSOR HAS NOT YET FAILED IN OUR 2004 X3 THAT HAS OVER 160,000 MILES. THE 2011 328 SENSOR HAD THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME FEATURE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. AT THE VERY LEAST A NEW INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR ALL BMW MODELS. I DROVE FOR OVER A YEAR WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I REALIZED IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT WORK IF THE SENSOR WAS BROKEN. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWED THERE MAY ALREADY BE A NHTSA CLAIM RELATED TO THIS. THANK YOU

AFTER GETTING MY CAR SERVICED AT TOM BUSH I HAD SEVERAL NEW ALERTS GO OFF FOR SENSORS GOING OUT AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT RESULTED IN MORE THAN $3,000 IN REPAIRS I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I CAME TO FIND OUT THESE ELEMENTS WERE CAUSED BY 2 OF THE OPEN RECALLS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE KEPT OVERHEATING AND CAUSED SENSORS ETC TO BURN OUT. I CALLED THE NUMBER PROVIDED IN DOCUMENTATION I RECEIVED AFTER REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I ASKED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WHAT TO DO SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY AFFECTED AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THE REP SAID TO CONTACT THE BMW SERVICE CENTER FOR ASSISTANCE. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN CALLED AND LEFT VOICEMAILS FOR THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE SERVICE CENTER ONLY TO NEVER RECEIVE A CALL BACK FROM ANYONE. THIS ORDEAL LASTED SEVERAL MONTHS AND I EVENTUALLY TRADED THE BMW IN FOR A NEW CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY COMMUNICATION BACK FROM BMW OR THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR COSTLY REPAIRS DUE TO RECALLS WITH NO REMEDIES AVAILABLE. THIS IS THE FIRST COMPLAINT I AM SUBMITTING RELATED TO MY 2011 328I BMW. THE OTHER COMPLAINT I HAVE TO FILE NEXT IS FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WHICH ALSO CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG INFLATED LATE AND SHOULDN'T HAVE AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS IN THE ROOF IN BOTH FRONT AND BACK SEAT. SIDE FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE. CHEMICAL REACTION OCCURRED. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BROKE MY LEFT HAND.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (MOTORWORKS BMW IN BLOOMINGTON MN) REGARDING TWO OPEN RECALLS (PCV HEATER AND AIR BAG) THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT AFFECTED BUT THEY WOULD REPAIR THE PCV HEATER. I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAG AS IT IS RELATED TO CRASH SAFETY.

CAM BOLTS NEED REPLACING AND THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NEITHER BMW NOR THE LOCAL DEALER CAN TELL ME WHY MY CAR ISN'T COVERED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALL NOTICES THAT INDICATE THE 3 SERIES FROM 2010 TO 2014 ARE COVERED; HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON WHICH CAN'T BE EXPLAINED, MY CAR IS NOT COVERED.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS MY AIR CONDITIONER HAD BEEN BLOWING WARMER AIR THAN NORMAL BUT WAS TOLERABLE. A WEEK AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I SMELLED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY MY AIR CONDITIONER SHUT OFF. FOLLOWING THAT THE RADIO AND DISPLAY SHUT OFF AS WELL. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AT THAT POINT I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS IN THE DASH. I GRABBED SOME THINGS AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WITHIN 2 MINS OF NOTCHING THE BURNING SMELL, FLAMES BEGAN COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. MY CAR WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE FD ARRIVED ON SCENE. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS WITH THE FIRE CONTAINED FROM THE DASHBOARD BACK THROUGH THE CAB OF THE CAR. AFTER READING ABOUT THE BLOWER MOTOR RECALL, I SUSPECT THE AC NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WAS IN DIRECT RELATION TO THE ISSUE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT POTENTIAL FIRE ISSUES. IT WAS NOT UNTIL MY CAR BURNED AND I STARTED RESEARCHING THAT I CAME ACROSS MANY REPORTS OF VERY SIMILAR ISSUES.

2 RECALLS FOR RISK OF FIRE FILED IN OCT 2017. 17V676 & 17V683. NOTICE RECEIVED 12/02/ 2017. TO DATE 8/28/2018 NO REMEDY AVAILABLE! BOTH KNOWN FIRE RISK AND NO ACTION FROM BMW 9+MONTHS LATER.

MY BMW WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF WHEN IT STARTED ON FIRE. IT WAS PARKED IN A SOCCER FIELD AT CAMP MINIKANI ON JULY 1, 2018 IN RICHFIELD, WISCONSIN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THE FIRE WAS CAUSED IN THE BLOWER MOTOR UNDER THE DASH. BMW HAD A RECALL ON THIS CAR, AT THE TIME OF FIRE, WHICH THEY REFUSED TO FIX. I RECEIVED AN INITIAL NOTICE FROM BMW IN NOVEMBER OF 2017. AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE I PHONED BMW WHO SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY DID. IN THE MEANTIME MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE FIRE.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO FAIL. BOTH ARE FLICKERING AND ONE IS DIMMING, THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE TAIL GATE MOUNTED LIGHTS

CAM BOLTS SHEAR OFF AND FALL INTO ENGINE RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON THE FREEWAY WHILE IN DRIVE, EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD FIX THIS HOWEVER ALL THEY DID AT BMW TRI CITIES WAS PUT NEW BOLTS ON AND THERE ARE MASSIVE ISSUES HAPPENING RELATED TO BOLTS FAILING, THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS

AFTER 3 SEPARATE RECALLS, ALL BMW DEFECTS. NOW CHANGED BATTERY, AND WINDOWS AND DIRECTIONALS WONT WORK. NOW DEFECTIVE FOOTWELL PART COSTING 800PLUS. BMW WILL REPLACE, BUT ONLY IF I TAKE TIME OFF WORK AND HUGE EXPENSE TO DRIVE 4 HRS EACH WAY TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO TOW, EVEN THO THEIR PART WENT BAD. THEY ARE FORCING ME TO DRIVE (CANT AFFORD TO TOW) A CAR WITH 2 SAFETY RECALLS AND A BAD COMPUTER SYSTEM TO ANOTHER STATE WITH NO VIABLE OPTIONS.

I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC IN TOWN AT 4 PM ON A SUNNY DAY. THE CAR AHEAD OF ME SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND WHEN I WAS TRYING TO SLOW MY CAR TOO, IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. I DID HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME AT A SLOW SPEED AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED CAUSING SEVERE INJURY TO MY RIGHT WRIST AND TO THE LEFT WRIST. IT CAUSED PROFUSE BLEEDING BECAUSE THE AIR BAG CAUSED CUTS IN MY WRIST AREA, VERY CLOSE TO A VEIN. A FIVE INCH HEMATOMA APPEARED WITHIN MINUTES IN THE RIGHT WRIST AND THE SKIN WAS SCRAPED OFF BOTH WRISTS. SEVERAL BURN MARKS ARE ALSO VISIBLE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE BEND OF MY ARMS. THE POLICE CAME WITHIN MINUTES AND THEY BANDAGED MY WRISTS TO TRY TO STOP THE BLEEDING. AN AMBULANCE WAS CALLED AND THE EMT WANTED TO TRANSPORT ME TO A HOSPITAL.

WHILE LOOKING UP THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA RECALL, I NOTICED THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE VANOS HOUSING BOLTS, I HAD NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL EVEN THOUGH I HAD UPDATED MY ACCOUNT WITH BMW AT FIRST NOTICE OF THE TANAKA RECALL.

I PAID FOR AN OIL CHANGE THAT DAY. LESS THAN 7300 MILES AND 2 QUARTS OF OIL LATER I WAS EXPERIENCING AN OIL LEAK THAT WAS CAUSED BY AN IMPROPERLY SEATED VALVE COVER NOT SEATING TO THE CYLINDER HEAD. THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR A BROKEN CYLINDER HEAD BOLT FOR $500 I DECLINED AS MY MECHANIC SAID IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR A BOLT IF THEY ARE ALREADY IN THERE. I'D ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE RECALL LISTED THE REPAIR WAS TO TAKE 4 HOURS BUT THEY HAD MY CAR 3 DAYS. NO LOANER WAS GIVEN UNTIL THE END OF THE 2ND DAY. THEY ARE NOW REFUSING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE VALVE COVER $1000 REPAIR. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT SEVERAL DEALERS REPLACED THE VALVE COVER AS A PART OF THIS SERVICE TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM, THOUGH BERT SMITH BMW ST. PETERSBURG, FL DID NOT.

BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS A BRANDED TITLE THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

WHEN WILL THE WIRING RECALL FOR MY CAR BE COMPLETED? I NEED SOME SORT OF UPDATED INFORMATION, AS MY CAR IS SITTING DUE TO SIGNING A FORM STATING I WILL NOT DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE DONE. THIS IS CAUSING OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS DEAD BATTERY, POSSIBLE TIRE DRY ROT ETC.... DUE TO SITTING FOR SO LONG I'M THE WEATHER WITHOUT MOVING. WILL ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR FAULTS BE COVERED DUE TO THIS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V676000, 17V683000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (SOUTH BAY BMW, 18800 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90504) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55MPH AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON MY 2011 BMW 328XI. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFIIC SO I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OPENED THE HOOD, AND THEN I HEARD THE ENGINE MAKING A RATTLING/MARBLE NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE CAMSHAFT BEARING LEDGE (WHICH IS NOT COVERED) OR A VANOS BOLT(WHICH HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ALREADY ON IT). BUT IF THE ISSUE IS NOT THE VANOS BOLT AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CAMSHAFT BEARING LEDGE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2000 FOR THE CAMSHAFT BEARING LEDGE SERVICE, I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND PARKED IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, AS I HAVE SEARCHED IN FORUMS AND WEBSITES FOR FEEDBACK. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND I DON'T SEE IT FAIR THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ENGINE PROBLEM THAT BMW HAS HAD KNOWINGLY SINCE THE BEGINNING (2007) AND NEVER RESOLVED ON LATER MODELS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL AS IT IS DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF TO BE DRIVING THE CAR WITH CHANCES OF THE ENGINE STUMBLING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE ORIGINAL CAMSHAFT BEARING LEDGE IS SAID TO HAVE METAL RINGS THAT RUBS AGAINST METAL AND WEARS OFF QUICKLY, THE REPLACEMENT IS A RUBBER ONE THAT LASTS LONGER AND SHOULD NOT BRING ANYMORE ISSUES TO THE CAR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 62K MILES ON IT AND THE OIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 5K MILES, WHICH IS 10K MILES LESS THAN BMW RECOMMENDS. WE AS BMW CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE BOTH OPTIONS FREE OF CHARGE, AS THIS ISSUE IS NOTHING NEW TO BMW, IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN AGAINST BMW; THERE CAN BE MORE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE FOR POTENTIAL 328XI OWNER, SPECIFICALLY THE E90 MODEL.

AS I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE SCREEN SHOWED RED SAYING TRANSMISSION ISSUES TAKE TO NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY ASAP I DROVE THRU INTERSECTION ABOUT 1000 FT MADE A U-TURN TO GET OFF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF FOR SAFETY AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED 4 DAYS LATER THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTICS SAID IT HAS HAD AT LEAST 2 FAULTS ON BATTERY AND POSSIBLY 3 FAULTS ON TRANSMISSION IT WILL COST $2500. PLUS TO REPAIR DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY FIND NOW MY ISSUE IS THAT I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 84 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS THINKING THAT ALL I'VE HEARD IS HOW GREAT A VEHICLE THESE ARE DEPENDABLE,SHARP,ETC. FOOLISH ME SINCE MY PURCHASE I HAD TO GET A NEW GAS CAP NO PROBLEM REPLACE FRONT BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T UNLOCK OR LOCK WITH AUTO KEY TRUNK DOESN'T OPEN FROM INSIDE VEHICLE JUST LITTLE ANNOYING THINGS THE FOX REPORT CAME WITH NO REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS BUT NOT THE CASE WHEN REPLACING BRAKES SHOWING SIGNS OF ACCIDENT SO HERE I SIT WITH A CAR PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX FOR POSSIBLY 6 MONTHS INCONVENIENT PERPLEXED DISAPPOINTED JUST TODAYS FEELINGS I DON'T THINK I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE TO ANYONE. BECAUSE I WAS GOING FOR A WEEKEND TRIP WITH FRIENDS PLANS ALREADY SET WE WERE FORCED TO RENT A CAR TO GET THRU WEEKEND AT A COST OF $130. AND THEN IT COSTS ME $ 163. FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND AN ADDITIONAL $399. TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO MY RESIDENCE BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD REPAIR WORK AT THIS TIME THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 83,000 MILES TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES JUST DOESN'T SET RIGHT WITH ME. SO FROM BMW'S VIEWPOINT HOW CAN I GET THESE ISSUES RESOLVED WITHOUT GOING BANKRUPT

AFTER FOLLOWING THE SETS ON THE POSTCARD, I WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR MY RECALL, AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE A SOLUTION READY.

MY SON'S BMW (2011 BMW 328I XDRIVE) SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED ON SEP 4 2017 WHILE HE WAS DRIVING BACK FROM WORK AT 4 AM ON SUNRISE HIGHWAY NY. LUCKILY HE NOTICED SPARKS AND SMOKE AND PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT. THE CAR FULLY BURNT WITHIN 30 MINUTES.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V683 POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE HEATER : THIS RECALL INVOLVES AN ENGINE COMPONENT KNOWN AS THE POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE HEATER. THE PCV VALVE HEATER MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED TO SPECIFICATIONS. OVER TIME, IT COULD DETERIORATE AND, IN RARE CASES, COULD LEAD TO OVERHEATING.

HI I HAVE A BMW 2011 328XI, RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND LITERALLY LEFT ME 10 SECS TO GET ON THE SHOULDER. MIND YOU THIS IS BUSY TRAFFIC HOUR COMING BACK FROM CHICAGO. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP LAST YEAR, AND BMW TAKES NO OWNER SHIP OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO ASKED THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT , BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME OH WE CANNOT DETECT IT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS THIS IS MY WIFES CAR AND I WOULD NOT WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING TO HER IF THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREE WAY.

TAKATA RECALL. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR'S DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG MAY CONTAIN THE TAKATA PSDI-5 INFLATOR, BMW HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE IT. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR OR LET ANY OF MY FAMILY DRIVE IT UNTIL BMW REPLACES THE PSDI-5 INFLATOR OR DETERMINES THAT MY CAR HAS A SAFE INFLATOR. I SPOKE WITH A BMW-USA CUSTOMER REP. ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 AND HIS ONLY ANSWER TO ALL OF MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS WAS, "THERE IS NO RECALL ON YOUR CAR!" HE WOULD NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE OVER 800,000 BMW CARS WITH FAULTY TAKATA INFLATORS YET TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED THAT MY CAR BE INSPECTED AND THE INFLATOR REPLACED IF IT WAS A PSDI-5 OR THAT BMW PROVIDE ME A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEY FINALLY DID FIX MINE. IF MY CAR CONTAINS THE PSDI-5 INFLATOR IT IS AS POTENTIALLY DEADLY NOW AS WHEN BMW REPLACES IT WITH A SAFE ONE AND UNTIL THEY DO, I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR. WILL NHTSA HELP ME IN THIS SITUATION?

WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OF 10 MPH OR LOWER AND DECELERATING (APPLYING THE BRAKE, COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE) OR AT A STATIONARY POSITION - THE VEHICLE IS SURGING FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. ENGINE IS NOT STALLING BUT OFTEN FEELS LIKE IT COULD AFTER SURGING FORWARD. SURGES FORWARD EVEN WHEN THE BREAK IS APPLIED. THIS HAS HAPPEND A NUMBER OF TIMES. TAKEN TO BMW DEALERSHIPS AND THEY REPORT NOTHING WRONG (NO SAFETY RECALL) BUT IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. FEAR FACTOR OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE THIS IS ESCALATING. HAVE ASKED FRIENDS TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE AND THEY VERIFY AND VALIDATE IT OCCURS FOR THEM AS WELL UNDER THE SAME CIRMCUMSTANCES.

MY RIMA KEEP CRACKING ON NORMAL POTHOLE DRIVES. I HAD THREE WHEELS FIXED ONCE, AND ONE WHEEL FIXED TWICE. THEN I HAD TO REPLACE ANOTHER WHEEL WITH A NEW WHEEL FROM BMW DEALERSHIP BECAUSE R WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE RIMS ARE OEM STARSPOKE 194 M

I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES. THEY CHANGED THE COILS OUT, THEY CHANGED THE TIMING CHAIN, THEY REPLACED OIL PAN GASKETS, AND HEAD GASKETS, AND THEY REPLACED GASKET AROUND THE OIL FILTER. ALL ENGINE RELATED ITEMS. I HAVE HEARD THERE ARE BMW ENGINES THAT BUILD UP TOO MUCH PRESSURE IN THEM WHICH CAUSES THEM TO BLOW UP. WITH ALL THE ITEMS THAT I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH ON THIS CAR AND NOW THE ENGINE BLEW UP WITH 79,000 MILES ON IT, I AM VERY UPSET. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS FOR AN ADDITIONAL 50K MILES AND 2 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THE ENGINE BLOWS MONTHS AFTER THE 6 YEARS RUNS OUT. THIS ENGINE FAILED BECAUSE OF BMW QUALITY AND DESIGN NOT MY DRIVING. BMW NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALLS? WHEN I START MY CAR, I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE "PASSENGER RESTRAINT MALFUNCTION" INVOLVING SEAT BELT, AIR BAG, ETC.

GETTING "PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM" ERROR FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL. I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE FOR WORK AND WAS A FEW MINUTES DOWN THE STREET AT A LIGHT WHEN I SAW WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASH/HOOD AREA.

MY CAR LITERALLY BURNT TO THE GROUND. THEY SAID IT SEEMED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IF I WASN'T AT A STOP, OR IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR FILLED SO QUICKLY WITH WHITE SMOKE THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE AND COULD HAVE CRASHED OR BEEN TRAPPED. BMW DID NOTHING AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. THEY TRIED TO OFFER ME A DISCOUNT TOWARDS A NEW BMW IF I SIGNED AN NDA. I KNOW SEE ALL THE NEWS REPORTS AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS REPORTED.

WHEN I DID, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY IS UNAVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL A LATER DATE, MAYBE THE SUMMER OF 2017. THE NOTICE SUGGESTS THAT I INFORM THE NHTSA IF BMW IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. GIVEN THAT IT IS UNCLEAR WHEN THE REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE, I AM NOTIFYING THE NHTSA OF MY EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED AND FAILED TO START SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE CONDITION PROGRESSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V044000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE IF A DEALER WOULD SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE A REPAIR SOLUTION.

2011 328I WITH 53,500 MILES. ENGINE COLD START HESITATION WITH VIBRATIONS WHILE IDLING STATIONARY. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE, OIL CHANGE. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE ECCENTRIC SHAFT SENSOR/GASKETS, BATTERY TESTED LOW TO INCLUDE VVT SENSORS AND LEFT PAD BRAKE SENSOR DUE TO WIRE CUT. TOTAL COST $2300 DOLLARS. NEXT DAY, CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WENT BACK TO DEALER AND STATED THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY FURTHER ISSUES. DID RESEARCH INTO THE ISSUE WITH OTHER BMW OWNERS WHICH HAD THE VEHICLES SERVICED FOR REPLACEMENTS OF VANOS, MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS, ETC. THESE CODES WEREN'T SHOWING UP ON MY VEHICLE. DECIDED TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY ENGINE MYSELF AND NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE VALVE COVER GASKET AREA AND COULD SEE OIL THAT HAD LEAK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE BAY, NOW AT 60K MILES, TOOK IT IN EARLY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND DIAGNOSIS AGAIN DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE IF OIL SPILLS ON MOUNTING STRUTS. THIS REPLACEMENT WILL COST ME ANOTHER $2K+ FOR A VALVE COVER GASKET AND OIL PAN GASKET REPLACEMENTS, YET THIS WASN'T MADE KNOWN WHEN I HAD GOTTEN MY OIL CHANGED PREVIOUSLY. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ENGINE FIRE AND BMW'S NEGLIGENCE IN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MANUFACTURING FLAWS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE ISSUES STARTING EARLY AT 40K MILES.

AC/HEAT BLOWER MOTOR AND FINAL STAGE UNIT, VEHICLE AT 5700 MILES BURNED OUT RESISTOR/HARNESS CONNECTIONS. WHILE IN MOTION, BLOWER SUDDENLY STOP AND SAW SMOKE COME OUT OF THE VENT WITH A BURNING SMELL DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE FAN SWITCH OFF. THE RESISTOR BURNED OUT AND FRAYED THE WIRES OF THE BLOWER MOTOR. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THE 2013 AND EARLIER MODELS. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, THE MANUFACTURER CHANGED THEIR DESIGN/ HARNESS BUT DID NOT PERFORM A RECALL ON ANY VEHICLES. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO INTERNAL CABIN FIRES AND TOTAL VEHICLE LOSS DUE TO ELECTRICAL FIRES. I DID HAVE MY PARTS REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE DUE TO VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY.

NO PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE ON A CAR THEY KNEW WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND DID NOT FOR 2 YEARS. TOOK CAR AGAIN IN 2/2017. SAME ANSWER. NOW THEY WANT TO TAKE CARE AND CHARGE ME DUE TO THEIR LACK TO SERVICE MY BMW , WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED OVER ONE YEAR AGO. NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY BMW TO DATE. I HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND EFFECTIVELY CANNOT TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE ITS VALUE IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHED UNTIL THE RECALL IS COMPLETED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH OF 2016 AND THE DEALER HAS STILL NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN PARTS TO PERFORM THE REQUIRED REPAIR.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR LATE OCTOBER 2015. IN JUNE 2016 I PARKED IT IN A LOCKED GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING I GOT IN IT AND THE VISOR WAS MELTED. AGAIN DECEMBER 27, 2016 I PARKED IT IN A LOCKED GARAGE AND WHEN I GOT IN IT, IT HAD LARGE BURN MARKS. APPROX 14 TO 18 INCHES LONG AND 1 1/2 WIDE. I TOOK IT TO BMW AND THEY TOLD ME WE DID IT. I TOLD HIM IF I WOULD HAVE PUT ANYTHING THAT HOT IN THE CAR THE LEATHER SEATS WOULD HAVE MELTED AND I WOULD HAVE BURNED MY HANDS. HE JUST BRUSHED US OFF. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK AND HE WOULD MAKE IT GOOD. HE TOLD US THE CAR HAD DEPRECIATED FROM $20K TO 8 TO 9K IN A YEAR AND WANTED TO SELL US ANOTHER $22K CAR. WE STILL OWE 14K ON IT. I SHOWED IT TO OUR INSURANCE AGENT AND SHOWED PICTURES TO OTHER CAR DEALERS, THEY ALL TOLD US IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FIRES AND SUNROOFS EXPLODING IN BMW'S I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

ENCLOSED LETTER.

MY 2011 BMW 328I (I AM ORIGINAL OWNER) HAS ~53000 MILES BUT IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS SUCH AS ENGINE MISFIRING, ROUGH IDLE, LOSS IN POWER AND ACCELERATION. CAR ALMOST STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES INDICATE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG ISSUES BUT THIS IS NOT USUAL FOR A CAR WITH ONLY ABOUT 53000 MILES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THERE'S ANY KNOWN ISSUES WITH THESE COMPONENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS RECALL AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR I'VE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST AND WE ARE TRYING TO SALE THE CAR AND CAN'T BECAUSE OF THE RECALL! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE NEED THE PARTS ORDERED AND DEALT WITH IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR .

IN MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL THERMOSTAT VERY OCCASSIONALLY MALFUNCTIONS AND OVERHEATS. IT BECOMES VERY HOT, ALMOST TOO HOT TO TOUCH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING BURNS. IT APPEARS POWER CYCLING THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, IT STILL CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO COOL DOWN TO A SAFE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CAN BECOME VERY DANGEROUS WHEN OPERATING A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL GOT RECALL NOTICE MARCH 2016 HAVE CHECKED WITH BMW DEALER 3 TIMES AND AM TOLD I AM ON THE LIST. I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GA BUT HAVE A CONDO AT PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL AND DRIVE BACK AND FORTH REGULARLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG WHEN THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A PRIORITY LIST AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ON IT GIVEN THE AGE OF MY VEHICLE AND WHERE I LIVE.

SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE EXPIRED IN SEPTEMBER, 2014, I NOTICED A SHUTTER WHILE ACCELERATING IN THE 35-45 MPH RANGE, HOWEVER NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED BMW MECHANIC, AND, INITIALLY, THE MECHANIC COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON OCTOBER 27, 2016, I RETURNED TO THE MECHANIC FOR SOME MINOR REPAIRS, AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE SHUTTER PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION (TORQUE) CONVERTER. HE SAID THAT HE IS SEEING THIS PROBLEM ARISE WITH MORE AND MORE FREQUENCY IN BMWS THAT ARE BROUGHT TO HIM FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE. THIS MAY BE A SERIAL DEFECT IN BMW TRANSMISSIONS. WHILE ACCELERATING IN MY VEHICLE, THE SHUTTER IMPAIRS BOTH DRIVING PLEASURE AND PERFORMANCE. IT ALSO RAISES SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

ALUMINUM HEADBOLT SHEARED OFF CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE RESULTING IN CAR LOSING POWER AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY. THIS IS AN N52 ENGINE AND COMPLAINTS ARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SOLELY CAUSED BY AN OVER TORQUE OF THE BOLT DURING MANUFACTURING.

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIME WHEN DRIVEN (IN MOTION) AT LOW SPEED ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) AND TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE STEERING WHEEL REFUSED TO TURN. I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BMW DEALER'S SERVICE NUMEROUS TIME FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT THE SERVICE AND BMW USA ALWAYS SAID THAT NONE OF THE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE EVER REPORTED THIS ISSUE AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT FROM ANOTHER CUSTOMER.

FOURTH WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED TODAY. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 27,000 MILES. THE FIRST SENSOR FAILED WHEN THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. THE FACT THAT ALL FOUR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HAVE FAILED SUGGESTS TO ME A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE DISABLED WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH HALOGEN HEADLAMPS AND HALOGEN DRL. THE CAR HAS POOR ROAD VISIBILITY AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLAMPS. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO BMW WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR UNEVEN BRIGHTNESS IN THE HEADLAMPS. THE TECHS JUST ADJUSTED THE HEADLAMPS, BUT THIS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE VISIBILITY. DURING MY NEXT WARRANTY VISIT, I BROUGHT UP THE HEADLAMP ISSUE AGAIN AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THAT WHEN THE CAR HITS BUMPS THE HEADLAMPS GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE HEADLAMPS WERE THEN AGAIN READJUSTED. THIS STILL DIDN'T IMPROVE THE HEADLAMP SITUATION. JUST RECENTLY I SAW ON FOX FIVE NEWS THAT MY MODEL VEHICLE HAD THE WORST RATING FOR HEADLAMP QUALITY. FOX FIVE NEWS STATED THAT OWNERS OF MY VEHICLE SHOULD USE HIGH BEAMS WHEN THEY CAN'T SEE WELL AT NIGHT. I LIVE IN THE CITY AND I CAN'T DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON ALL THE TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A LUXURY CAR BRAND. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING MANY OTHER SIMILAR MODELS OUT THERE. BMW SHOULD RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL THESE MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 BMW 328. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A SPARK FOLLOWED BY A FLAME UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAVE LESS THAN 39,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, YET, THE VALVE COVER GASKET IS CRACKED. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER RECALL WAS MADE PUBLIC, BMW REFUSED TO CHECK MY CAR, BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST. MY STANDARD WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS ENGINE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFT. IS IT UNREASONABLE TO REQUEST A VALVE COVER GASKET WHICH SEEMS TO BE DAMAGED PREMATURELY? I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICED A LITTLE SMOKE AND AN ODOR. MEINEKE WAS THE CLOSEST CAR REPAIR NEARBY, AND THEY ARE HOLDING MY CAR UNTIL I GET A RESPONSE FROM BMW.

DRIVING AT 50 MPH CAR SLOW DOWN AND STALL ON SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A BMW DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED OVER. THE REPAIR GUY STATED THAT THEIR WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL HEAD GASKET. IT WAS FIXED AND I BELIEVED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE NOW AND I TOOK IT TO BMW AGAIN, AND NOW I HAVE A OIL PAN LEAK. I'M A SINGLE PARENT AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE I AM TRANSPORTING MYSELF AND TWO CHILDREN. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT AFTER ONLY ONE YEAR THAT I SHOULD HAVE ISSUES LIKE THIS. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME IN THIS SITUATION.

FRONT PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION UPON MOVEMENT ON CITY STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V176000 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 50 MPH, A VERY LOUD POP WAS HEARD ALMOST LIKE AN EXPLOSION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY WITH TEMPS IN THE 70'S. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE IN THE VICINITY AT TIME OF EVENT. NO ROAD DEBRI WAS NOTED ON ROADWAY. THE GLASS APPEARED TO BE PUSHED OUT LIKE IT WAS CAUSED BY A PRESSURE DIFFERENCE. AT THE TIME OF EVENT, ALL THE WINDOWS WERE UP WITH THE A/C ON. PIECES OF THE GLASS HAD FLOWN BACK AND SCRATCHED THE PAINT DOWN TO METAL ON BOTH THE ROOF AND TRUNK-LID. I HAD MY TWO SMALL KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME AND THEY WERE BOTH TERRIFIED AFTER HEARING THE NOISE. LUCKILY THE SHADE COVER WAS IN PLACE AND NO GLASS ENTERED THE PASSENGER SPACE. BMW IS NOT WILLING TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT OR COVER THE COST.

TODAY I WAS ALMOST KILLED, AND CAUSED MANY OTHER MOTORIST A GREAT DEAL OF PANIC. DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH MY 2011 328XI SUDDENLY STARTED TO LOOSE POWER. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET ACROSS FIVE LANES TO THE SHOULDER, I WAS NEARLY HIT NUMEROUS TIMES AS DRIVERS AROUND ME HAD BRAKE HARD OR MAKE RAPID MOVES AROUND ME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS THAT THIS OCCURRED. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT PLAZA MOTORS. TODAY MY CAR WAS TOWED THERE AGAIN AND I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM

I REMEMBER DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AND SMELLING A BURNING SMELL. I HAD THE WINDOWS OPEN BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM OUTSIDE. LATER, THE CAR'S HVAC BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING. DURING REPAIR, THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THE HARNESS THAT PLUGS INTO IT WERE FOUND TO BE BADLY BURNED. THE HARNESS WIRES FOR GROUND AND POWER WERE MISSING INSULATION (BURNED AWAY) AND THE COPPER WAS BADLY CORRODED. THE TRIM PANEL DIRECTLY UNDER THE AFFECTED AREA HAS WATER STAINING AND SCORCH MARKS. BMW NA REFUSED TO PAY TO FIX DUE TO MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND IS CLEARLY A WATER INTRUSION PROBLEM (LEADING TO A SHORT CIRCUIT AND BURNING) CAUSED BY EITHER A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE

SAW ISSUE WITH 2006 3 SERIES REGARDING PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT READING WRONG. MINE SEATBELT CHIMES GO OFF EVEN IF I JUST PUT AN ELECTRONIC TABLET IN THE SEAT. OTHER DAY ADULT SON IN CAR, PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWING IT'S OFF YET HE WAS SITTING IN SEAT AND STRAPPED IN. 2 DAYS LATER AFTER I DROPPED HIM OFF, SYSTEM STARTED CHIMING AGAIN, HAD TO PUT SEATBELT IN LATCH EVEN THOUGH NO ONE IN SEAT FOR IT TO TURN OFF THE NOISE. *TR

02/25/15 I LEFT MY BMW AT THE DEALER FOR MANY OF THE CONSTANT ISSUES MY CAR HAS HAD BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE. ONE OF THE MANY THINGS WAS THAT ALL DOORS WILL CLOSE BUT THE FRONT PASSENGER. THEY ALWAYS SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. BUT WHEN I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALER IT WAS JUST NOT CLOSING AT ALL. ON 02/27/15. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER AND HE SAID TO ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE ESTIMATES TO FIX MY CAR. I ASKED HIM WHY THEY WILL CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THEY NEVER COULD DUPLICATE WHEN MY CAR WAS ON WARRANTY AND NOW THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY ITS SEEM THEY ARE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN ADVISING THEM FOR YEARS. HE SAID THAT HE COULD NOT USE GOOD WILL WITH ME ANYMORE BECAUSE HE HAS USED 4 ALREADY (IF WE ARE DEALING WITH A RECURRING ISSUE WHICH I HAVE NOTIFY YOU OF MANY TIMES BEFORE YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE GOODWILL, BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT) I TOLD HIM THAT HE HIMSELF SAID ANYTHING THE CAR HAS ON HISTORY THEY WILL FIX WHEN THEY CAN DUPLICATE. THEN HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO REVIEW MY CAR HISTORY (I THINK TO THIS POINT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT BEFORE CALLING ME TO AGGRAVATE ME) HE NEVER DID CALLED ME OR AT LEAST APOLOGIZE.I FINALLY TALKED TO MY ADVISOR AND SHE SAID IT WAS OK THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT. ONCE AGAIN MY NON ENDING NIGHTMARE GIVES ME A HARD DAY AND A WORST HOPELESS FEELING. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR FRUSTRATION. I SHOULD BE THE ANGRY ONE. BECAUSENOW THEY HAD DUPLICATE SOMETHING I HAVE SAID SO MANY TIMES AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT. TO ME THE WORD DUPLICATE FOR THEM MEANS ?HOW CAN WE KEEP ON HIDING ALL THE ISSUES AND KEEP PEOPLE BELIEVING THEY ARE CRAZY SO WE CAN KEEP ON MAKING MONEY". *TR

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAK. OIL AND GRIME BUILT UP ON ENGINE FROM LEAK THROUGH TIME. COULD CATCH FIRE. BMW REPLACED FOR $600+. INDICATED NOT DAMAGED - TYPICAL OF THAT PART. NEW MODEL YEARS HAVE DIFFERENT PART TO AVOID FAILURE AND LEAK. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART RATHER THAN COSTING THE CONSUMER OVER $600! *TR

DRIVING ON 35E GOING SOUTH TO EXIT 94 EAST ON THE FAR LEFT LANE AND I HIT A LARGE POTHOLE THAT POPPED THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THERE WAS A TRUCK WITH A FLAT TIRE ON THE FAR LEFT LANE DURING THIS TIME DUE TO SAME POTHOLE. *TR

I DROVE FROM MY GARAGE TO THE HIGHWAY (ABOUT 5 MINUTES) I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND GAINED SPEED UP TO ABOUT 55 MPH, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT ONE OR TWO MINUTES WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE SUNROOF IN MY CAR HAD BLOWN OUT. THERE WAS NOT TRAFFIC IN MY LOCAL HIGHWAY SINCE IT WAS ABOUT 1:30PM CST. THE SLIDING COVER IN THE SUNROOF WAS OPEN TO LET LIGHT IN AND I WAS SHOWERED WITH BROKEN GLASS, I PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY, STOPPED LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IF THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODE OUT, LIKE CAUSED BY INSIDE PRESSURE BLOWING IT OUT. I WAS LUCKY NO ELSE WAS WITH ME OR THE HIGHWAY HAD MORE TRAFFIC OR I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED BMW BUT THEY DENY THAT THERE ARE ANY DEFECTS WITH THE SUNROOF, THEY SAY IT WAS MOST LIKELY A ROCK. THERE ARE NO OBJECT INSIDE MY CAR AND ROCKS TRAVEL SIDEWAYS NOT COME FROM THE TOP. PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED, BESIDES THE COST IS THE HIGHER CHANCE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH, MY 2011 328I SHUT OFF. DUE TO MY GIVEN RELATIVELY LOW SPEED AND LOCATION (BACK ROAD) I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE STOPPED, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE. THE CAR WOULD START. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST BMW SERVICE FACILITY. THE BMW REPAIR TECHNICIAN ADVISED AN INTERNAL FUEL LINK CRACKED, THUS THE CAR HAD EFFECTIVELY RUN OUT OF GAS. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK AND PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "2011 BMW 328I SWOLLEN FUEL PUMP" REVEALS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE CAR COULD HAVE SHUT OFF AND FAILED AT ANY TIME. I COULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING AT 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WANT TO KNOW IF THE REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK AND PUMP THAT BMW INSTALLED IN MY CAR ADDRESS WHAT IS CLEARLY AN ENGINEERING AND DESIGN FAULT, OR AM I AT RISK OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE AS WELL? I'VE CONTACTED BMW USA BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE AS OF THIS SUBMISSION. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING AT LOW SPEED VEHICLE ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY CAUSING IT TO CRASH OVER THE CURB AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MINUTES BEFORE THIS CRASH I NOTICED SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO ACCELERATE AND RPM RISED ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AIRBAG SEEMS TO HAVE MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

AFTER THE CAR IS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR, IT HESITATES TO MOVE EVEN AFTER I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR STRUGGLES TO MOVE FORWARD AND AFTER PRESSING IN HARD IT MOVES. THE INITIAL DELAY OR THE INITIAL RESPONSE TIME IS HUGE. THE TIME LAG IS LARGE. THE ENGINE MAKES NOISE AND WILL STRUGGLE TO MOVE. I HOPE THE NHTSA WILL REVIEW THE MATTER WITH BMW AND SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

I WAS FOLLOWING MY HUSBAND HOME FROM WORKING AROUND 5PM ON JULY 28TH AND AS HE PRECEDED TO TURN LEFT, I OBSERVED TRAFFIC AND SAW IT WAS SAFE TO FOLLOW THROUGH AS WELL. AS I WAS TURNING ANOTHER GENTLEMAN CAME THROUGH THE LIGHT GOING APPROXIMATELY 45-50MPH AND WE HAD A COLLISION. MY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE FRONT AND THE CAR WAS THEREFORE TOTALED. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I PROCEEDED TO HIT MY FOREHEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. HIS AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY AND HE WAS IN A 2013 328I AND I WAS IN A 2011 328I. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE OR WHY MINE DID NOT DEPLOY...UPDATED 10/06/14 *BF UPDATED 3/25/2015*JS..*TR...UPDATED 12/09/15 *BF . UPDATED 05/17/2017 *JS

A LETTER FROM BMW CAME IN JUNE 2014 STATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS EFFECTED FOR IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE RECALL WAS FOR VANOS ASSEMBLY BOLTS. THE LETTER STATES THAT I MAY HEAR INCREASED NOISE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY COME ON LEADING TO REDUCED POWER LEADING TO ENGINE STALL. I NOTICED ON THIS WEBSITE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND LEADING TO STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK AND ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHICH CAN LEAD TO INJURY AND DEATH OF ANYONE ON THE ROADS. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER AS WELL BMW HEADQUARTERS AND BOTH STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. SO FOR NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH A SAFETY RECALL AND I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN HOPE I DON'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS CRIMINAL OF BMW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I ASKED THEM IF I COULD BRING MY CAR IN AND HAVE A LOANER INSTEAD TILL THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE BUT WAS TURNED DOWN, UNLESS I WANT TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING AMERICANS ON THE ROAD! *TR

AT TEMPERATURE ABOVE 87 DEGREES F (AFTER A FULL DAY IN OPEN PARKING LOT UNDER SUN) AS INDICATED ON THE CAR'S DASHBOARD, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR OF THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED. EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT FIRMLY CLASPED BUT THE CAR KEPT ON BEEPING SEATBELT WARNING FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR DROPPED TO LESS THAN 87 DEGREES F. THE SEATBELT WARNING WENT AWAY AFTER I OPENED THE WINDOW AND LET THE CAR COOL DOWN OR SWITCHED ON AC IN THE CAR. THIS IS A REPEATABLE PROBLEM AND CAN BE REPRODUCED IF MY CAR IS KEPT IN DIRECT SUMMER SUN FOR AN AFTERNOON AND HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE PAST. SINCE AIRBAG SENSORS INTERACT WITH THE FAULTY SEATBELT SENSORS SO IT HAS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY CONSEQUENCES AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY BMW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CONSTANT CHEMICAL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CLEANED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE ODOR ORIGINATED FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MONDAY 07/14/14 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:30PM AND SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BMW IN JUNE 2014 STATING THEY WOULD BE RECALLING MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE DUE TO ENGINE PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED THEM AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE LETTER BUT WAS TOLD THE PARTS HAD NOT COME IN YET AND I SHOULD RECEIVE A 2ND NOTICE SHORTLY. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER AND NOW I HAVE NOT VEHICLE. THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO ME BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013. BMW TOOK THE CARE AND TIGHTENED SOME BOLTS ON THE ISSUE AND SAID I WAS GOOD TO GO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VANOS SOLENOID VALVES AND THE CAM SHAFT BEARING LEDGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER, WHERE IT WAS LATER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VANOS ASSEMBLY BOLT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V176000 (ENGINE). THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE NOT PERFORMED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED TWO ENGINE COILS, CHANGED THE OIL, REPLACED A WHEEL SENSOR, DRAINED THE BRAKE FLUID AND REPLACED A MICRO-FILTER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000. UPDATED 09/02/14*LJ UPDATED 11/7/2014 *JS
