My vehicle was making a squealing noise, was louder when running but sitting still. Took it to a garage and valve cover gasket was leaking apparently. I know this happens to cars but my BMW is a 2011 with only 65500 miles at the time.. costed me 1000 dollars to fix and a month before this they did a recall on the PCV valve and had it tore apart. Maybe it was someone's mistake when reassembling the PCV valve heater during recall at BMW dealer at towne auto in williamsville near buffalo NY?? idk but that is low mileage for this to happen

My BMW 328I E93 has the service engine soon (ses) light come on while I was driving on the highway. The computer shows error code 2B3A (P1449 dmtl system fault). I cleared the code and it came back a week later. I tried replacing the gas cap and the error still comes back the same. I was doing further research and came across this article (attached) from NHTSA.gov describing the same exact problem, with the same exact code and even my engine is the same N52K for my E93 328I. Https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/tsbs/2012/sb-10051299-3508.pdf the dmtl pump is there to help reduce emissions and if the system is faulty, the BMW dealership should honor the request for service work to replace the dmtl pump under the emissions/extended emissions warranty. I called and they said there's no recall for this VIN so they can't help me...and they are making me pay for the diagnostic fee...but I do in fact have my emissions warranty still in effect for the VIN which is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. It seems that there needs to be an active recall for these faulty dmtl pumps/systems as this problem exists for engines like mine -the N52K engine. I encourage the NHTSA to take a look into this matter and work closely with BMW North America to institute a remedy for this. Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Blower motor recall and PCV valve recall. Hello, I got a recall notification in the E-mail for the PCV valve and the blower motor. I had already taken my car into BMW previously to have my vehicle worked on by BMW and carmax for problems on these parts and relating parts because they were not working properly. I was wondering if you could please take a deeper dive into my issue. BMW has said they will only reimburse about $250 when I paid much more than that before for the parts directly affected and indirectly affected by faulty parts. I look forward to hearing back from you and appreciate all the help.

After 3 separate recalls, all BMW defects. Now changed battery, and windows and directionals wont work. Now defective footwell part costing 800plus. BMW will replace, but only if I take time off work and huge expense to drive 4 hrs each way to nearest dealership, because they refuse to tow, even tho their part went bad. They are forcing me to drive (cant afford to tow) a car with 2 safety recalls and a bad computer system to another state with no viable options.

I bought a used 2011 BMW 328I from a used dealership. I drove it home the first day started to overheat. I checked the carfax on the car & it has 2 recalls. Is it illegal for a dealer to sell me a car knowing it has a 2 safety recalls?

While looking up the recall for the takata recall, I noticed there was an open recall on my car for the vanos housing bolts, I had not received a notice in the mail even though I had updated my account with BMW at first notice of the tanaka recall. I had my car serviced for the vano housing repair which they removed the valve cover to inspect the bolts and found a broken bolt on the vanos housing and replaced the exhaust, removed and inspected the oil pan to remove the fragments. I paid for an oil change that day. Less than 7300 miles and 2 quarts of oil later I was experiencing an oil leak that was caused by an improperly seated valve cover not seating to the cylinder head. They offered to repair a broken cylinder head bolt for $500 I declined as my mechanic said it didn't make sense and they should repair a bolt if they are already in there. I'd also like to note that the recall listed the repair was to take 4 hours but they had my car 3 days. No loaner was given until the end of the 2nd day. They are now refusing to reimburse me for the valve cover $1000 repair. I noticed online that several dealers replaced the valve cover as a part of this service to avoid this problem, though bert smith BMW St. Petersburg, fl did not. I also have 2 other open recalls on my car that have been listed as a remedy not available since December 2017.

"takata recall" while stopped at a red light, we were struck from behind by a vehicle who then ran from the scene.the impact was severe enough that my passenger, julie coppersmith lost consciousness for a few seconds from either hitting the dash or just from the violent movement forward. She was wearing her seat belt but the shoulder restraint failed and the airbag did not deploy. The malfunction was acknowledged on the cars information system.

2 recalls: I have two recalls on my car and BMW does not have a solution or a potential solution or date. They will not suggest a fix or replace anything. The report claims high risk of car setting on fire. This seems like a pretty significant issue.
