Electrical System Problems of BMW 325 - part 2

I am trying to trade in my BMW 325i 2006. Was told there is a open recall with no remedy at this time. The recall date was October 25, 2017. I was told they cant get the part. So in the mean time I am stuck with a car that I cant trade in and that is a danger to anyone that drive it. I will never buy another BMW because of this.

Faulty tail lights- the right tail bulb assembly on the car got so hot it melted along with the plug. I called the BMW hot line 800-525-7417, they informed me that the car had 2 recalls for airbags, also told me that the car had a faulty tail lite repair in 2002. I trailered the car on 4/11/18 to sewell grapevine BMW, where scott lord in the service dept took it in. I ask for them to find out also about the tail light assembly melting & I left the part with the car. On 4/11/18 I rented the same trailer & went to pickup the car, (I live 40 mls from there). Upon talking with mr. Lord, the 2 recalls where performed & he said the technician left brochures in the car on how the melted tail light is repaired & that the car is too old for them to do it. First off, thanks to NHTSA web site, I learned that there where 210,000 of these cars recalled for the same problem, beginning with the year of this car. 2nd, I 've never known a recall to expire until fixed. I called BMW recall back 5/2/18 & she said no recalls are showing now & that I'd have to contact NHTSA, so here I am, do they fix it, or should I contact a lawyer? thank you NHTSA! I'm glad there was not a can of gas in the trunk.

The car seat warmer burned through leather and burned through my coat. I made compliant to BMW and spoke to michael pigoncelli. BMW refused to repair the defect or to compensate me for my coat. The car has been maintained. The seat warmer will severely injure anyone who uses it if a heavy coat is not worn. I was told by the BMW dealership that the seat warmer burning through the leather and peoples skin/coat is common. BMW (newmarket, ontario) took pictures of the damage to the seat and my coat.

While driving car will intermittently and briefly experience full electronic outage causing the instrument cluster, vehicle lights, and electronic steering column lock to engage. As soon as the electronic power returns service lights display on the dashboard until I stop, fully power off the vehicle with the ignition button and restart the car.

If I or anyone else would happen to be in a turn and the electronic steering wheel lock engage the results could potentially be life threatening. This vehicle is a prior dealer lease then sold to a rental company then purchased by me. The vehicle remains unmodified and has beeb maintained and serviced with all oem or equivalent parts.

Car caught on fire in the garage 2 1/2 hours after parking. Total loss of car with damage to garage. Started in the very front engine area under the hood. Was burned so badly they could not say exactly how it started. Fire marshall suspected was due to possible cooling fan shortage. No one was around the car at the time the fire started. After reading of multiple BMW fires, I wanted to report ours also.

The right-side back window of my 325i 2006 BMW slipped down and does not roll back up using the electic button. First, it started going half way and suddenly went all the way down into the door. The car was not moving. I simply wanted the window slightly open. This is a window I very seldom use. I was told by mechanics that work on BMW's, that this is a factory defect on this series and it is happening a lot on this series. The cost to fix it is about $300. This is a defect the BMW company should be responsible for fixing. The buyer should not be responsible for their defects.

I was locked inside my car tonight. I entered my car through the unlocked driver's door. Other doors were locked. Started engine and left my driveway. Driver's door locked automatically. When I attempted to exit my car, the doors would not unlock. Door handle pulled as if disengaged to any mechanical connection other than return spring. I attempted to unlock doors with the center console switch to no avail. Turned off engine, removed key and attempted to unlock with fob to no avail. Attempted door pull on other three doors with results the same as previously described. I returned home to my driveway, parked the car and attempted to open the doors from the inside of the car with no success. I attempted with the key in the ignition and engine running, engine off, key removed from ignition, etc. Every option was attempted. The only operational unlock mechanism was for the rear hatch glass, which became my exit by my crawling through the passenger compartment. I was trapped. The electrical system failed and interlocked the mechanical pull.

Locks occupants in car and cannot electrically or mechanically unlock. Many BMW operators have reported this problem on internet but no recall exists for dealerships to repair/replace.

This vehicle has an electronic lock out on the steering wheel that prevent the steering from unlocking as the operator attempts to start the engine. The code read out to be a115 or a116. This is a known issue and BMW has not been asked by NHTSA to recall. Please works with BMW to remedy this faulty on their design. The following design was removed from steering column as BMW known this is a problem from start. This problem occurs while the vehicle is in park and refuses to release the steering column.

Can not unlock car in any way. The relays in the gm5 module which give power to the actuators become weak and can not open car. Car can not be opened with car key as key hole is also electronic. In the end I cant get inside the car.

BMW 3 series, 2006, e90 body type. After inserting the key in the contact all power went off. I experienced twice such complete loss of power, for the entire vehicle: engine, doors, lights and even the key cannot be removed from contact. Once I touched the battery with a voltmeter and measured the voltage (that was perfect) the power came back. Though after the power was restored while driving to dealership the car started to behave erratically, windshield wipers starting by themselves, radio turning on and off, noise in the back of the car ( either speakers or electric). Dealership diagnosis identified the connector on power cable between the battery and the engine as the cause of the total power loss. The cable connector appears to be almost entirely corroded. Incidentally this very cable was subject of BMW voluntary recall but only for vehicles manufactured after 2007 ( rcdnn-13v044-8968(1). Pdf ). Though in my case it appears to be the other end of the same cable that is outside of the car body, exposed to corrosion. The part number cable subject of the recall appears to have been installed also on 2005 and 2006 BMW 3xx models though they were not included in the recall.

Foot well module and junction box electrical short. Some lights stay on even if the car is off some signals dont work, one low beam headlight does not work, rear windows work sometimes and driver side rear windo does not work a all, ect.

All 3 passenger doors lock and intermittently can not be unlocked. This has to do with a faulty gm5 module.

While driving our car the dash lights will come on and the car will loose all power. We have to pull over and turn car off wait a minute with key completely out of the ignition and restart the car then all lights are off and car is completely drivable. This happens multiple times a day no matter what speed is being driven. Also within the same month the locks will not unlock when car is stopped and shut off or by the power button inside the car. As well as our 4 way indicator which is on same switch as the power lock button no longer works.

Pass. Restraint system fault message. Few days went by with this fault message coming on and off. Now its currently staying on. After searching on the web, I've found many other BMW owners with the same issue, but only a few models are covered under recall (08v384000). After search my (VIN) show no current recalls. Recall (08v384000) states 2006 year 3-series. How can this only be limited to some 2006 ,but not others with the same problems? vehicle has around 86k miles. Thanks.

My BMW does not fall into the recall that BMW published. After several lights appeared in my dash (airbag, brake, seatbelt) I had the disnostic tool looked up and received a fault code 93c3 seat occupancy detector, passenger . Looking on the web this seems to be a common problem.

My car was parked for a brief time and then, just before I was about to start my car, I noticed smoke coming from the glove box and when I blew on it, a fireball came out and the whole car went up in flames. Just a few days before, I had problems with my air-conditioning and had prior electrical issues that I had checked out at a BMW repair shop.
