The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that there was a recall on his vehicle under NHTSA campaign number: 11v438000(exterior lighting). The contact then called chapman BMW chandler(7455 w orchid ln, chandler, az 85226) where he made an appointment to have the vehicle serviced under the recall. The dealer then called the contact back and informed him that his vehicle was not included in that recall. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and also informed him that his vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer then referred him to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. Jo.

Rear turn-signal indicators began failing to operate, especially in hot, humid conditions. Inspection of wiring harness revealed evidence of wiring-connection degradation by heat or corrosion. The car has not been damaged or flooded in any way. It is kept in a garage. Since both rear blinker assemblies have been affected, I believe that the design or engineering was defective. The intermittent failure of turn signals is a serious safety hazard.

Documented failure of 2004 BMW 325i rear brake light, parking light and turn signal assembly. Occurred on my personal BMW on or about 6/2010. Occurs sporadically, resulting in total failure of all three lights on left side and also right side. Dash indicator shows that bulbs are out but bulbs have been replaced and problem still occurs.

Unreliable taillight/brakelight/turn signal functioning in 2004 BMW 325xi. Problem began in early 2008. Lighting indicators kept coming on suggesting taillights were out. Replaced all applicable bulbs several times over the past year then finally brought to dealer. They said that they have seen many of these instances where they need to replace carrier, harness and add a ground wire to fix the issue in order to get lights working again. Dangerous at night. Unfortunately no recalls, however, this is not a normal wear item and if a dealership needs to go back in and change wiring to make it work, than it's simply a design flaw and the consumer should not be responsible. Needless to say, $700 later, I had to get it fixed to ensure safe driving.
