I received several safety recall notices from BMW over the last 2 years, every time I call BMW, I am told "the necessary parts are not available". I have an engine check light on my dashboard most likely caused by egr cooler malfunction. Really frustrated about not being able to get this issue resolved by BMW.

I have 2014 535D and the fill reservoir light came on after christmas. I dipped drive home. On thirsday January 3 it did it again. I had sent BMW an email that check engine light was on which has been happening since O bought the car. Intake manifold, nox, oxygen had all been replaced. Received the recall notice on Friday jam 4,2019. We already knew it had this recall issues well now I have to replace a $625 hose to diagnose the car issue that's been recalled. I believe the recall caused the issue but now I have to pay for part and labor before they can work on it and this part is several weeks wait. I believe the egr leak can melt the hose and leave stranded. Once the egr fails it's doing extensive damage very quickly and leaving even more repairs BMW is not covering. This issue has been worked on for months now and the fix doesn't last but couple months at best.

My 2014 certified pre-own BMW 535D caught on fire while I was driving home from work last week, fortunately a driver next to me alerted me that my car was on fire. I pulled over within 30 seconds, got out and within another 30 seconds my entire car was engulfed in flames.

- Baldwin Park, CA, USA

On 12/03/2016, my 2014 BMW 535D abruptly stalled in the middle of the road, blocking traffic. It had spontaneously locked itself into 'park' without warning. The engine would not start, and there was no way to overcome the electronic lock on the transmission and put the transmission into 'neutral' to push the car out of traffic. It had to be towed. Fortunately this happened on a slow moving road. On a fast highway, this event would have posed a mortal hazard. I am concerned about the safety of a vehicle that becomes dysfunctional in that way. One of the passing drivers stopped and informed me that exactly the same happened with his BMW 535D and that BMW of North America is aware of this problem. It seems to me that this situation should be a serious concern of the NHTSA.
