THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS SLOW TO RESPOND AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY INDEPENDENTLY SURGED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING AT 22 MPH.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAULTY SEAT MAT SENSOR. THIS COULD RESULT IN FATALITY TO AN ADULT PASSENGER. NOT COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000 BECAUSE IT DOES NOT INCLUDED SAME MODEL/YEAR VEHICLES WITH SPORT SEATS.

THIS IS AN ADDITION TO OUR PREVIOUS RECALL PROBLEMS AS ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF AS WELL. HERE ARE THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS TO BE ADDED TO PUBLIC RECORD THAT INDEED 6 RECALLS WERE RECORDED TO OUR REGISTERED VIN AND YET WAS TOLD BMW HAD NO OBLIGATION TO ADHERE TO THESE DOCUMENTS?! ITS ALSO CRAZY THAT WE HAVE TONS OF DOCUMENTS AND YET WE ARE ALLOWED TO SHOW A MBYTE AT A TIME. HOW CONVENIENT.

LEFT WORK AT 4:30PM ON 01/06/2016, AS WE TURNED OUT OF PARKING LOT MY 2007 BMW 328I JUST DIED IN MID TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURENCE HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE BUT STALLED MULTIPLE TIME ON WAY BACK HOME. ON THE 6TH OF JAN, THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND BURNING OF BATTERY SMELL. CAR WAS TOWED AS ID CODES WERE CHECKED AND ALL SIGNS HAVE POINTED TO SYSTEM FAILURE. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, 6 OPEN RECALLS WAS RESEARCHED USING MULTIPLE VIN REPORT SITES PAID AND FREE INCLUDING BMWUSA.COM/SAFETY RECALL. WE WERE THEN TOLD TO CONTACT THE BMW CONSUMER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IF THERE IS NO WARRANTY DUE TO PAST MILAGE, RECALLS WERE NOT OBLIGATED BY BMW CONSUMER. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED FABBRINI LAW OFFICE HERE IN CHICAGO REGARDING OUR FEDERAL RIGHTS IN BEING IN A SAFE CAR. HOW MANY LINKS DO WE NEED TO POST IN WHICH STALLING AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN NOTED ON BMWS OWN COMPANY WEBSITE. WE SIMPLY ASK THAT BMW CONSUMER LLC LISTEN TO THIS COMPLAINT LIKE THE MANY OTHERS WHO ARE BEING PUT IN UNSAFE VEHICLES AND WE ASK THAT YOU APPLY YOUR THREE PRONG RULE REGARDING SAFETY HAZARDS SUCH AS THESE THAT WARRANT A REFUND WITH DEAPPRECIATION ADDED, REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE OR SIMPLY REPAIR THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED IN THE LAST DECADE AFFECTING MORE THAN MILLIONS WHO ARE LOYAL TO YOUR PRODUCT. WE INTIALLY HAD A 2005 BMW 325I THAT HAD RECALLS AND WE WERE NOT HELPED THEN AND TRADED VEHICLES FOR YET ANOTHER BMW WITH THE HOPES OF BETTER LUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE STEERING LOCK SYSTEM FAILED TO ACTIVATE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE CRANK SHAFT. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT FRACTURED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING LOCK FAILED AND THAT THE STEERING LOCK MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARTIALLY REPAIRED DUE TO THE DEALER NOT BEING GRANTED APPROVAL FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS REPORTED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000. HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. HOW CAN I HAVE MY CAR ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS FAIR THAT BMW WILL NOT FIX THIS FOR FREE CONSIDERING IT WAS REPORTED BUT I WAS JUST UNLUCKY WITH HAVING MY VIN INCLUDED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND AS WELL AS THE YELLOW LIGHT ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT. I PURCHASED AN AIRBAG/SRS . THE CODE CAME UP AS 93C3. I TRIED TO CLEAR THE CODE HOWEVER IT WOULDNT CLEAR AND I BELIEVE THAT IS DUE TO THE ISSUE NOT BEING FIXED. I CHECKED ALL OF THE CABLES UNDER THE SEAT FOR THE AIRBAG MAT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE! THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AS I COASTED DOWN THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES AT ALL. I WAS TERRIFIED. THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER TO MY CAR AT ALL FOR ALL OF 10 MINS. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, SWERVING ONTO A SIDE STREET TO LET MY CAR COAST UNTIL IT STOPPED. MY CAR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO COLD CRANK. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND NO ONE CAN FIX IT.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THANKFULLY, IT WAS REALIZED IN A NON-EMERGENCY SITUATION. AFTER RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS ISSUE IS POPULAR AMONG THIS YEAR ON THIS CAR.

HEADLAMP WIRING INSULATION IS FLAKING OFF. ALL INSULATION OF ALL WIRES IN BOTH HEADLAMPS HAS TOTALLY DETERIORATED WITHIN EIGHT YEARS OF MANUFACTURE LEAVING EXPOSED WIRES CREATING POTENTIAL SHORT CIRCUIT AND FIRE HAZARD. BMW'S SOLUTION IS TO BUY ANOTHER HEADLAMP AT $1,500 EACH WHICH, PRESUMABLY, WILL ALSO DETERIORATE WITHIN THE NEXT SEVEN TO EIGHT YEARS!
