2002 BMW 325I Complaints

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE FRONT SEAT BELTS BUCKLES WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY CAUSING THE CONSUMER NOT TO HAVE A SEAT BELT ON WHILE DRIVING. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR

MY NEW CAR CAME WITH 4 225/45 ZR 17 TIRES, BOTH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND DOOR JAM STICKER DO NOT GIVE THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE FOR THE REAR TIRES. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE BMW OWNERS LINE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE MFG. RECCOMENDATION NOR HAVE THEY BEEN WILLING TO PROVIDE AN UPDATED STICKER FOR THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY NEW CAR. I FEEL THAT HAVING THE PROPER MFG. RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AND TO DATE BMW HAS NOT PROVIDED ME WITH THE INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, CONSUMER HIT AN 80 POUND PIECE OF IRON THAT WAS LYING IN THE ROAD, WHICH RESULTED IN 2 BLOWN TIRES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR, BOTH RIMS BENT, CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND PULL OVER, CONSUMERS CONCERN IS THAT THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR AIR BAG DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT WAS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, CONSUMERS WIFE SUFFERED A BRUISE FROM THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG, THERE IS ALSO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.*JB

HEATED MIRRORS ON ALWAYS. TEMPERATURE READING IN EXCESS OF 115 DEGREES F. POSES BURN RISK.

APPARENTLY MY CAR HAS A PROGRAMMING DEFECT WITH THE COMPUTER. IT ONLY RELATES TO 2002 325XI'S WITH SPORT PKG, MANUAL TRANS. AT ONE TIME I WAS TOLD THERE WERE ONLY 4 WITH MY SET UP IN THE US. ALL CARS WITH MY EXACT COMPUTER SET UP I'M TOLD ARE HAVING THIS FAILURE. THEY CLAIM TO BE WORKING ON MY PROBLEM IN GERMANY BUT I REALLY FEEL MY CAR IS UNSAFE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE IS A 1 SECOND DELAY WHEN WHEN YOU STOP ACCELERATING TO WHEN THE CARE STOPS ACCELERTATING. LOW GEARS AT HIGH RPM'S THE CAR BASICALLY GOES OUT OF CONTROL FOR A SECOND. I THINK BECAUSE SO FEW CARS HAVE MY SET UP THAT BMW IS NOT RESOLVING THIS QUICK ENOUGH. TWO E-MAILS TO THE BMW ON LINE CUSTOMER CARE SITE. MY CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY THE REGIONAL AFTER MARKET REP FROM BMW WHO CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. WHERE ELSE DO I TAKE THIS TO GET MY CAR OPERATING SAFELY?*AK

HEATED MIRRORS HAS A POTENTIAL BURN RISK. MEASURED MIRROR SURFACE TEMP. IS 115 DEGREES F.*AK

DOOR LOCKS WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED WHILE IN SERVICE AT THE DEALER. WHEN THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH ALARM SYSTEM, BUT IT IS MISSING NOW. *YH

URGENT - MY 2002 325I'S FIRST SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED ON ME ON 1/25/02. THE REPLACEMENT GLASS HAS TWO SURFACE HAIRLINE CRACKS AND TWO HAIRLINE CRACKS BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS. THIS CANNOT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. PLEASE EXAMINE YOUR SUNROOF CAREFULLY FOR DEFECTS. NO ONE AT BMW IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH.*AK
