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.
1. speedometer accuracy! the speedo on my 2006 325I was off by 10%. at 80mph on the speedo, actual speed was 72. At 30 actual was 27. I have been pulled by a cop twice because of this problem. 2. passenger restrain error message the air bag warning light illuminated and a message displayed on the message board stating that the passenger restraint had malfunctioned.
Since I purchased my BMW 325I (2006) in Aug. 2007 new, I have had problems with a 10% inaccuracy of the speedometer, that the dealership reluctantly replaced (with no improvement) and BMW of North America finally admitting that there is no solution to the problem and I was stuck with the problem. The speedometer is 10% off an actual reading. So if you want to 65 mph and set the speedometer at 65mph you only go 58 mph. In order to go 65mph you have to drive at 73 mph on the speedometer.
