2001 BMW 330I Complaints

MY DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AND DOOR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE. THERE IS NO DAMEGE TO ANY SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER THEY DEPLOYED, THE CAR CUT OFF, AND I AM STILL ROLLING. HAZZARD LIGHTS DID COME ON. AND NOW, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR.

PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW CAME OFF TRACK. BACK WINDOW DOES NOT GO UP OR DOWN. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OTHER TWO WINDOWS WILL DO THE SAME VERY SOON. THIS HAS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE CAR... TOO MANY TIMES, TOO MUCH AND TOO OFTEN. MY CAR IS A 2001 BMW 330I, I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY RADIATOR RESORVIOR, THE WATER PUMP AND COOLING FAN, THE EMMISIONS SYSTEM, AND MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY WHEN I AM ON A TURN (WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS AT A ONE WAY STOP MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR SHUT DOWN). I HAVE ALMOST 85K MILES NOW AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO ARISE. JUST GOT A NEW TRANSMISSION, NEW LOWER CONTROL ARM FOR THE DRIVER SIDE, AND THE WINDOWS CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN EVERY 6 MONTHS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS "BMW EXPERIENCE"!*AK

R. REAR WINDOW CAME OFF TRACK. R. FRONT DID SAME FEW MONTHS AGO. I SEE SIGNS THAT OTHER TWO WINDOWS WILL GO VERY SOON. THIS IS HAPPENING TOO MUCH/SOON. IT APPEARS TO ME THE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BROKEN ON A WINDOW THAT IS HARDLY EVER USED. I EXPECT DEALER WILL CHARGE ME-4MOS PAST FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD.*AK

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES VEHICLE ACCELERATED. NO IMPACT REPORTED. *AK

MAKE : BMW MODEL : 330I YEAR : 2001 CRASH : NO FIRE : NO NUMBER OF INJURIES: 0 ODI ID NUMBER : 10007865 DATE OF FAILURE: JUNE 1, 2001 COMPONENT: OTHER SUMMARY: SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR IN MAY 2001, THE GAS PEDAL SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE RACES ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER AND ROAD TESTS HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING. THE DEALER HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE CAR WHICH I DRIVE VERY CAUTIOUSLY. IT REMINDS ME OF MY DIRT RACE BIKE THAT HAS AN EXPLODING POWER-BAND. DON'T TAILGATE WITH THIS PROBLEM OR YOU WILL KISS SOMEONE'S BUMPER. *NLM
