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.
I have been alerted by my local mechanic a few years ago and in 2011 by my local BMW dealer that my left rear coil spring has broken due to rust. I have been told by the local BMW dealer that this is a common occurance for all bmws that operate in the northeast due to salt. The dealer's memo to me states: "if not replaced, worn coil springs will not allow the suspension system to move and adapt to changing road irregularities". the BMW dealer wants $640.24 to replace both rear springs. My vehicle now has 80,000+ miles on it and I cannot afford to have it fixed. The car has always been garaged, as has been our other vehicles, none of which that has had suspension problems due to salt/rust. One vehicle has 280,000 miles on it. This is a major design/performance flaw that may have bad consequences for BMW owners.
