The contact continuedto experience the same failure, as well as, having warning indicators which showed the vehicle overheating when it was not overheating, and the warning light for the engine and airbags.
At 19,100 miles I brought in my 1999 BMW 323is for service and made a complaint that the speedometer was not working properly. They checked it but could not find the problem. They said I would have to continue with the problem untill something else would happen. The problem continued and at 37,000 miles my transmission went bad. Several mechanics I spoke with said that if the speedometer was not working it would have affected the transmission. BMW does not want to take the responsiblity and I am stuck driving the car with a bad transmission. Futhermore, my mechanic told me the transmission is a GM transmission that is used in an izuzu. I thought I had bought a BMW with BMW parts. The speedometer continues to malfunction and BMW has yet to fix that problem.
