TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 328D. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED UNKNOWN RED ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER BMW OF RIVERSIDE LOCATED AT 3060 ADAMS ST, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504, (951) 373-5000, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OVER THE WEEKEND, THE CAR STOPS ON THE ROAD ABRUPTLY. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND COMES TO A HALT ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR'S DASHBOARD INDICATED A WARNING "CHASSIS STABILIZATION" ERROR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO PROCEED MAYBE 2 MILES AND THIS TIME, IT STOPPED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. THIS TIME THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, I WAS REALLY FRIGHTENED SINCE THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME! IT WAS A VERY NARROW MISS! I AM HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A BMW DEALER TO INSPECT IT. I ALSO REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO BMW CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I WAS ASKED TO CONTACT THE DEALER TO CHECK THE VEHICLE OUT.

PROBLEM DISCOVERED UPON INSPECTION FOR RECALL 18V-755 EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER, AFTER OVER SEVEN MONTHS NO PARTS, NO ACTION. *TR

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, THE POWER TO THE WHEELS IS NOT ENGAGED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TIRE IS STRAIGHT, THE POWER ENGAGES. THIS ACTION PREVENTS YOU FROM DRIVING NORMALLY. TO DRIVE, YOU HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL STRAIGHT. THEN AS YOU INCREASE VELOCITY, YOU MAKE YOUR TURN. CAN BE VERY UNSAFE AS YOU ARE DRIVING IF THIS HAPPENS (BREAKS) ON THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2014, 328D X-DRIVE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR A ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES WHEN I START THE CAR. THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE VERY BAD. IF I START IT WITH THE AIR SYSTEM AT OFF I WILL NOT GET IT. THIS IS ONLY AT A STAND STILL AND THE WORST WHEN THE CARS STARTED. THE DEALER HAS DONE OVER $4000 IN REPAIRS AND HAVE REPLACED MANY FUEL INJECTORS. ONE OF THE REPAIRS THE MANIFOLD MELTED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THEY REPLACED ALL. I'M STILL GETTING THE FUMES. VERY DISAPPOINTED BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. THEY ONLY TELL ME TO SEE MY DEALER. THEY SAY THEY WILL START A REPORT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND I'M STUCK WITH A CAR I LIKE VERY MUCH BUT NEED HELP GETTING EXHAUST FROM ENTERING THE CABIN FROM THE ENGINE AREA. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BMW STATING AN EGR COOLER RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO BELLEVUE BMW AFTER SMELLING DIESEL INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND HAD ME RENT A VEHICLE WHILE THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT. UPON RETURNING I WAS TOLD THAT MY EGR COOLER DID IN FACT NEED REPLACING. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE FIXING THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY HAD A CATCHY LEGAL BLIND TO HIDE BEHIND. ' NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME'. THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THEY COULD OF SOLD ME THE NEW EGR COOLER. BUT THEY CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT EITHER. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND HE ASSURED ME IT WAS. AS IT TURNS OUT HE LIED TO ME. A SHORT TIME LATER THE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WAS SMOKE AND A BLACK SOOT BELLOWING OUT FROM BEHIND THE CAR AND WHEN I GOT PULLED OFF THE ROAD LARGE AMOUNTS OF THICK BLACK SMOKE BILLOWED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT AN APPROVED REPAIR FACILITY. 2400.00 LATER THE CAR WAS BACK ON THE ROAD FOR A SHORT TIME. A SHORT WHILE LATER I GOT TO WORK AND NOTICED A LOUD CLICKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO BELLEVUE BMW AND THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THE SHOP WHERE I WAS GETTING MY OIL CHANGES DONE WERE NOT CHANGING MY OIL. THIS DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO MISDIRECT FAULT FROM KNOWINGLY PUTTING ME IN A POSITION TO BE HARMED FROM DECEITFUL BUSINESS PRACTICES AND BLATANT DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY IS TRULY DISTURBING AND WOEFULLY DISAPPOINTING. GLIBLY I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 26000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE YET NOTHING LIKE AN ACTUAL PAPER REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS PRODUCED. ARE THESE PEOPLE JUST MAKING THIS STUFF UP AS THEY GO ALONG? MY HOPE IS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN READ THIS AND FILE MORE COMPLAINTS. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE LAWSUITS AND CHICANERY I CAN HONESTLY SAY I WOULD NEVER OF BOUGHT THIS CAR. *TR

LOSS OF POWER ASSIST TO BRAKING TWICE WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP. UNABLE TO BRING VEHICLE TO FULL STOP THE FIRST TIME AS IT WAS A DOWNHILL. SECOND TIME TRAVELING ON A SLIGHT UPGRADE WHICH HELPED BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THEY SAID THAT BRAKE BOOSTER, ONE-WAY LINE, O-RING ETC. NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL CONTAMINATION. WHILE THIS MODEL YEAR IS NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN RECALL 10V-446 IT SOUNDS LIKE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS THIS RECALL EXPANDED TO THE F30 PLATFORM? IF NOT SHOULD IT BE?

BLOWER MOTOR WHICH CONTROLS AIR FLOW FOR HEATING AND A/C SYSTEM , THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WIRING AND THE BLOWER MOTOR IS DETERIORATED ,THIS IS LEADING THE BLOWER TO ONLY BLOW HOT AIR AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE A/C IS ON ALSO MIGHT BE OVERHEATING THE CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER
