BMW WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS AND COULD NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS DUE TO SENSOR REDESIGN. VEHICLE EMITTING TOXIC EMISSIONS FOR 6 MONTHS.

THE COMPLETE WINDSHIELD WASHING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING DURING AN EXTENDED ROAD TRIP. PUMPS NO LONGER ENGAGE. BECAUSE THE WASHING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL WIPERS ON THE CAR. FAILURE OF THE WASHER PUMPS AND RELAYS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH BMWS.
