This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I received a recall notification for my vehicle since March 2022 and up to now, I keep getting told that a remedy is not available. This is alarming since the safety risk states "the PCV valve heater could overheat, lead to smoldering, and possibly start melting. In extremely rare cases, this could increase the risk of a fire."
Water accumulates in the trunk/boot of the vehicle causing numerous electronic faults, error codes and states per BMW this issue significant. Many issues like the ones I've described were recalled to a degree. Now, their 'fixes' are failing and more and more issue emerge with the BMW E8X frame. I was told per BMW that these recalls remedy the mistake; therefore, even though I have the same issues the recall covered I'm having the same issues. These issues can happen at any time. Most often when starting the vehicle but on particularly rainy days it can be any time and anywhere.
I just had the bolts on both the (intake and exhaust replaced) this is listed in the unspecified recall and no one notified me on this recall I drive the 2011 128I series coupe and this cost me out of pocket $1,800 dollars to replace, what I do not understand is why I was not notified of this I could have been in a serious accident and also I have 2 other recall issues that are happening to my car the air bag the signal keeps coming on and off and also the PCV valve off and on I smell something burning I do hope someone can contact me so I can get these recalls fix now I am really scared this is a matter of life and death. I have my receipt of me getting the bolts issue fixed and requesting a refund
The car was moving at highway speed with ac running. Smoke plumed from vents and under front passenger footwell. Electrical fire stemming from blower motor final stage unit and wiring harness.
Reference PCV valve heater recall. My car started smoking between a month and a half to two months ago. I have talked to both regional and local BMW. They said there were going to make arrangements for alternative transportation but I haven't heard from them since 1/16/18. My car is noticeably smoking while stationary, and you can smell plastic burn smell when driving. At first, I contacted regional BMW sometime during early December. They advised me to contact my local BMW in reference to getting me into alternative transportation until my recall parts were available. BMW of ocala told me they hadn't heard anything about alternative transportation and that my car would not be smoking due to the recall. I parked my car and undid the battery on 12/30/17. I tried to start my car on either 1/14/18 or 1/15/18 and it started smoking again immediately. I contacted regional on 1/16/18. They took my information (mileage, purchase date, place purchased, and place called for assistance), and gave it to a case manager at regional. The regional manager tyler contacted me back the same day 1/16/18 and told me he faxed my information and instructions over to BMW of ocala and I should hear from them in 1-2 days and if not, to call him back. I've been calling tyler and leaving messages since 1/19/18 and have not heard back from him, or BMW of ocala. My car is not safe and I can not drive it. The number I have been calling for regional BMW is 1800-831-1117. Tylers extension there is 7389.
