THE CAR LOSS POWER AND SHUTDOWN WITH ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. (95 NORTH)ERROR MESSAGES "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION CONTINUE DRIVING IS NOT POSSIBLE. HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY THE NEAREST BMW CENTER", "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION"," RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION", "FAULT IN PASSENGER-RESTRAINT SYSTEM" THE SECOND TIME THAT HAPPENED TO ME , I HAD THE CAR TOWED BY AAA AT 5AM AFTER WORK. THE CAR PARKING BRAKE WAS LUCK , SO AAA HAD TO DRAG THE INTO THE FLAT BED, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BMW MAKES A LOT OF MONEY THEREFORE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILL. THE CAUSE IS WATER GETTING INTO THE TRUNK AND SOCKING ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE TRUCK OF THE CAR CAUSING EVERYTHING TO GO CRAZY. BMW IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I SAW A FEW CLASS ACTION CASE AGAINST BMW FOR THE ISSUES I HAVE HERE.

TAKATA RECALL...RECEIVED LETTER INFORMING THAT RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE ON MY CAR. I CALLED DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO PARTS. I CALLED MAIN BMW CORPORATE HQ AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOTHING FOR ME AND OFFERED NO HELP. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS MAKES ME FEARFUL SINCE WE LIVE IN HIGH-HUMIDITY TEXAS (CAR CAME FROM FLORIDA) AND RESEARCH INDICATES HUMIDITY MAY PLAY A ROLE IN AIRBAG FAILURES. BOTH DEALER AND HQ JUST SAID CAN'T DO ANYTHING. WE'RE FORCED NOW TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR OR GET THE BAGS TURNED OFF. EITHER WAY, THEY'RE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR LIVES! WANT FEDERAL PRESSURE ON THEM TO GET ON IT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SURELY, SAFE AIRBAGS CAN BE MANUFACTURED BY OTHERS BESIDES TAKATA. WHATEVER IT TAKES, THIS IS URGENT TO FAMILIES DRIVING THESE CARS.

THE FUEL FILTER HEATER WAS RECALLED (RECALL NO. 13V-339). WE HAD TO HAVE OUR FUEL FILTER HEATER REPLACED AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS FOR VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM 6/2009 - 11/2009 AND OUR CAR WAS PRODUCED IN 12/2009. WE HAD OUR FUEL FILTER HEATER REPLACED BECAUSE WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WHEN WE TOOK TO DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A NEW FUEL FILTER HEATER, THEREFORE WE FEEL WE ARE INTITLLED TO THE RECALL.

THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MODULE (EMF) WAS REPLACED ONCE 2012 BY BMW UNDER WARRANTY. IT APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THIS OFTEN. BMW WENT TO THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE AND JUDGING FROM OTHER COMPLAINS ONLINE, THE MODULES AND OTHER COMPONENT FAIL FREQUENTLY.

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 100 KM / H WHEN THREE HIGH POP ARRIVAL. WENT OUT TO EDGE. THERE WAS OIL ON THE ROAD. I GOT A TOW TRUCK AND MOVED THE CAR TO THE WORKSHOP. IT FOUND THAT OUT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD GIVEN HIM. IT ENTERED AND BROKE THE OIL PAN OF THE MACHINE. I'VE SEEN MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. BUT I SEE MANY BMW OWNERS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE RECEIVED THIS REPAIR OF BMW. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS I LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR AND DISCOVERED THE SERPENTINE BELT HAD COME OFF. BMW HAD ALREADY DONE A RECALL FOR THIS AND I DID UPON DEALER INSPECTION DISCOVER THE SAME BOLT SHEARED CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE WAS 12V550. I'M BEING CHARGED 700 HUNDRED DOLLARS NOW TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED.
