2006 BMW 325I Complaints

CONSTANT OIL LEAKAGE UNDER VEHICLE, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIME I TRIED FIXING AND REPAIRING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 325I. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V318000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 8/19/15*CN

SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE HEADLAMP, THE BUMPER MUST BE REMOVED. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY PROJECT. MY SON HAS A 2009 7 SERIES WITH THIS PROBLEM. CARS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION LIGHT BEGAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MAT WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED BUT NOTED THAT THE VIN DOESNT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE RECALL. MANUFACTURER DIDNT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR ($700 ESTIMATE). RECALL 13V-564 IS SPECIFICALLY FOR BMW/325I/2006/SPORT SEAT/AIRBAG MY EXACT CAR AND EXACTLY THE ISSUE IM EXPERIENCING. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BMW/325I/2006/AIRBAG COMPLAINTS. BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS REFUSE TO HELP

I HAVE 77,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND THE WATER PUMP HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE AS I BEGAN TO SEACH ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE I SEE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR I BELEIVE THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 325I. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THAT FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG CODE NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

4/27/2015, 4:00 AM THE CAR IS SITTING WITHIN 6 FEET OF MY HOUSE AND MY HUSBAND AND I AWOKE TO AN EXPLOSION. THE BMW WAS ON FIRE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND BURNING OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED INSIDE OUR GARAGE SINCE 4/25/2015 AND IT WAS ONLY MOVED ABOUT 100 FEET ON 4/27/15. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ZERO MODIFICATIONS OR REPAIRS. THE BMW'S MOTOR AND FRONT END OF THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED. OUR HOME WOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED HAD I NOT USED 4 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND A WATER HOSE ON THE CAR AND HOUSE UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. ONLINE THERE ARE NUMEROUS BMW OWNERS WITH THIS COMPLAINT EITHER THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING AND SOME PEOPLE WERE EVEN DRIVING THEM WHEN THEY CAUGHT FIRE. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE BMW'S THAT ARE CAUSING FIRES AND PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK. THIS BMW WAS MY HUSBANDS AND WASN'T FULLY INSURED AND I HAVE A BMW THAT I LOVED UNTIL THIS INCIDENT AND I AM EXTREMELY FEARFUL OF DRIVING NOW. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ALL BMW DRIVERS TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED AND SOMEONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ISSUES THE BMW'S ARE HAVING. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THE STATISTICS FOR BMW'S THAT HAVE FILED FIRE COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I CALLED BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A BMW DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT PROTECTION MAT REPLACED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V564000). THE BMW DEALER IN SCOTTSDALE SAID IT ISN'T LISTED AS A RECALL ITEM AND THEY WANT $180 JUST TO PERFORM A CHECK TO SEE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS THERE SHOULD BE NO FEE AT ALL TO FIX SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM (AIRBAG). *TR

MY VEHICLE IS IN STORAGE FOR THE WINTER I START IT ONCE A WEEK THEN RECENTLY IT JUST STOP WORKING AND A STEERING WHEEL LOCK APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD I RESEARCH IT AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE A BMW 325I HAD THE SAME ISSUE . I FEEL BMW SHOULD REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
