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 had various problems with my BMW Z3 2000''internal water pump failure while on the freeway, rattling noises in the car because of the braking system, etc. Additionally, I have continually had the same problem year over year since I've owned the vehicle--the SRS light on the dash coming on due to the seat belt tensioner being faulty. On service dates 8/22/03, 12/05/03, 12/18/03, 1/10/04, 3/20/04, 9/10/04, 1/24/05, I have had the SRS problem fixed''and the problem has yet to be repaired. The last time I came in (1/24/05), I talked with the service manager about the SRS problem and he told me that the problem with the SRS light should be fixed and should be covered under warranty, so I don''t have to worry about it. I am scheduled to go in the week of July 11th for the SRS problem, along with engine problems. The seat belt tensioner actually holds a person in place--even when they shouldn't be held in place.
