Headlight wiring is shorting out due to the plastic coating on the wiring degrading. This issue is currently only affecting the daytime running lights but has caused a short in the headlight system which, without repair, will eventually affect the headlights. This is a serious safety concern because a short in one headlight can lead to a failure of the entire system leaving me without headlights. This issue is apparently caused by wiring which degrades in higher heat which should never have been installed in a headlight assembly.

This malfunction light has been coming on since I bought this vehicle. It is extremely frustrating because every time I have that this car serviced they have never truly fixed the problem. It may stop for a moment and then any random day it will give me this warning as you SE in the picture provided. A bigger problem that is unexceptable is that the car keeps flashing a warning about the coolent is needed and that it needs to be fixed or there could be engine damage. This warning has been the main concer. I have had the coolent go into the engine which caused my car to shut down on a busy hwy 3 seperate times, risking a danger to myself and others on the road. I have not heard a word from BMW of North America that they care about my concerns and I feel that this problem has literally affected my health and well being. I have huge anxiety issues because of this car. I hope my letter is heard so that I may have justice for this car. I am overwhelmed with nervousnes everytime I drive it. I feel like something bad will happen to me orcsome else. Please help this matter become res olved!
