The two recalls on my vehicla have been in interim phase since October of 2017. I personnaly know someone who has the same recalls and their parts have caught on fire. I want my vehicle repaired ASAP.

Fuse # 56 and #57 blew leading to the inability to open any doors using the fob. The emergency key only unlocks the driver door from the outside. The other doors cannot be opened unless the fuse is replaced. In an emergency situation, had the fuses been damaged for some reason, and there was a fire in the vehicle or some other reason necessitated an emergency egress, the front seat passenger and likely the rear seat passengers might not be able to exit the vehicle. There is no way to open the doors in a power failure. BMW has no emergency door latch to bypass the electrical system as other cars do.

The car caught on fire right behind the glove box. The firefighters said it was an electrical fire. The car was off and parked in a restaurant parking lot. This happened on 9/22/17. Someone saw the car on fire in the parking lot and called the fire department. This happened around 6:00pm. Seven hours later, there were still buzzing sounds coming from under the dash. We were told not to drive the car!.

When I tried to close my sunroof, it would not close despite trying to reset it, so I took it in to a mechanic. They couldn't figure out what was wrong until they looked and the sunroof motor blew a fuse. They replaced the fuse, tried it again, and the motor blew the fuse again. So the sunroof motor has a fault. I heard recently that Bmws are spontaneously combusting and that we should report any unusual things, so I'm reporting this. My car is still at the mechanic (bay bridge bimmers and minis in oakland) under repair. . Read more...

I'm having trouble with my sensor systems. Not able to pass smog. Also my door handles have melted from some heat when my car is extremely hot. These are some of the other problems I'm having.

I opened the door and put key in, every thing looksed good. But I pushed start button, it could not start. Then all power went down: no lock/unlock, no radio, no light. Yet after some time, the power went back and I could start. This happened many times. I found many 2007 BMW 328i have the same problem. It's related to the b+ wire contact issue. BMW has a recall for that issue: there is a TSB for this e90 wont start - si b61 08 11.

In December of 2016, my car started blowing a burning smell through the air vents, while I was driving through a neighborhood. I parked my car and turned it off in a median area and then I turned off the ac and white smoke started billowing out of the vents. It was electrical wires catching fire. I took my car to the mechanic and he said it was the blower motor and blower motor resistor that needing replacing. The wire connections deteriorated, melted, and overheated, catching fire. The cost of this replacement was $573. 60 out of pocket. I checked a recall website and noticed that a safety recall for these parts were listed in October of 2017, with exact description of my problem that occurred in December 2016. I would appreciate a reimbursement on this repair as this recall should have been found much sooner.

The rear doors won't lock and the front doors won't unlock and the gas lid won't open! this just happened out of nowhere. Read online by lots of folks that's it's an door actuator and wrong fuse. Dealer is very aware of the defect and lots of folks having the same defect - it really should be taken care of by the dealer!.

My 2007 BMW 328i is having red steering wheel warning displayed on dash. I have read around the internet and this seems to be a common problem with BMW. Requires the entire steering column be replaced. This is a major safety issue if a person needs to start the car and is unable to start it because of a faulty latch and lever. A simple google search of "BMW steering wheel lock" brings up hundreds of pages and videos of people having issues with their vehicles. The light on my car is a steering wheel lock red. I checked my battery and it works perfectly fine. The problem is a faulty steering lock. The certified BMW dealer that sold the vehicle said this is normal of Bmws. Normal meaning they know it will eventually go bad and the steering column has to be replace to correct it. What, the steering column has to be replaced. At some point the vehicle will go into a no start mode per BMW to prevent a steering wheel lock from engaging while operating. This is unethical and cost the consumer around 1500 us dollars to correct.

The car wont start. It was working just fine in the morning and a couple of hours later it didn't start. All power turns on dash lights and even head lights turn on and my battery booster indicates that the battery is fine. I try to start it but it wont turn over.

Back windows(2) rolled down will not come up. Motor buzzes and nothing happens.

Vehicle is loosing power between 45-55 miles and steering wheels becomes hard to turn on 7/1/16 jackson,ms on northview drive, same problem 7/10/17 mobile,al and 7/16/16 beach blvd. Jacksonville, FL and once breaking at a stop (redlight or stop sign) it shuts down in traffic. Car must be put in park and cranked to restart. Issue unknown and the vehicle is unsafe and will not stay on in big conjestions of traffic, I am scared of a crash. There are already recalls on this issue from the national data base.

We have taken the car to the dealership for the recall and was told they do not have the parts and also wouldn't know how to fix it. Every time the car turns on, you can smell the melting of the plastic. It smells bad and am worried every time im driving about a fire. Before the recall came out, we had asked about the unknown smell of something burning and was told it was "normal".

Vehicle stalls twice (2 times) all of a sudden while it is in motion. Vehicle lost power completely without warning. Both incidents happened when vehicle is traveling at 20-25 mph. Almost caused an accident on latest incident. First stall happened at 99500 miles and 2nd stall happened at 100340 miles. There was no light indicator warning or signs or distress on engine before power was completely lost. Car stalled immediately and had to be restarted.
