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.
My father was sitting in his parked car in his driveway and his car caught on fire. A neighbor witnessed it she said it was engulfed in flames within seconds and my father died from smoke inhalation due to the fire. Aberdeen WA police department and fire department examined the vehicle and investigated the cause and determined it started in the vehicle engine. Also the coroner did an autopsy to determine his cause of death. From what I understand there has been numerous similar fires with this model yet it hasn-??t been included in any recall. It is unknown to me whether there were any indicator lights on. He had only owned the vehicle for less than a week I believe. I am having the vehicle returned to me now that the police and fire department are finished examining it. As far as I know they are the only ones to have contact with it since the fire.
As my car sat in my driveway (with no key in the ignition), it burst into flames, spreading to nearby trees and bushes, and cracking several windows in my house. The fire department put it out before it could burn the house down and I managed to escape the home without injury.
I have had issues with every single window. They do not roll up. I repeatedly pay to have these fixed and they continue to be an issue. There is an absolute defect in these windows. I have had an array of vehicles, none of which had half as many issues as this BMW.
