This car has had fuel leaking since the moment I drove it off the lot. I messaged the dealer, and received no response. Living in Arizona without a working AC in the car is also quite a nightmare. At the moment the smell of gasoline is extremely intense and I feel worry about my baby riding in a car. It would be great if, BMW came forward, to do what-??s correct, and fix the car-??s issues, as it is constantly breaking down from one thing or the other. Thanks
The engine coolant thermostat limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship. The vehicle currently has 60,128 miles. The vehicle's "service engine soon", warning light began appearing intermittently and now it is constantly on. The car has a stored code (P0597) Thermostat Heater Control Circuit/Open.This vehicle has a current technical service bulletin for a defective thermostat for this model year; however, the VIN number is not included. This should be investigated further as this Technical service bulletin(SI B01 01 16) suggests that PRODUCTION date is NOT the sole determinate, but rather, the entire model year is just as imperative!! The local BMW dealership is refusing to repair the vehicle despite having premature failure with the thermostat heater control circuit/open for this model year vehicle and with a currently illuminated warning light and code (P0597). Although the technical service bulletin states that the model year & model numbers are both covered, the bulletin further states: 1)."Note: The MY 2015 vehicles produced up to and including January 31, 2015 (as applicable) have been added to this bulletin December 2017"; and, 2) "Please do not use a vehicle-??s production date as the sole determinate for this coverage, the vehicle-??s -??model year-?? is also an important determinate."

Service engine soon, electrical malfunction, coolant level low, may drive at reduced speed. These are all the alerts and messages that popped up when I took my vehicle into the dealer. Thinking my vehicle would still be under warranty, which it's relatively new and under 9K miles. The service manager told me that the vehicle had suffered from rodent damage, and that the warranty will not be covering the damages and that I should file a claim with my auto insurance. I inquired about why the rodents are attracted to the wiring and all they can say was to hire pest control and they would help me rid of rodent issues at home. I did some online research and found out that BMW had been using soy based ingredients to produce some of their wiring parts and coating. This of course was not disclosed at time of purchase and I would have never known about it if I hadn't faced with such circumstance. So bottom line, there is no resolution for this issue and I would have to continue to bring my vehicle in if rodents decide to have a party again in my vehicle or I can move.
