I've looked up my VIN on my BMW 2008 328i it has a recall on the blower motor wiring, they have a wiring harness kit to fix the problem but when I call don jacobs BMW they say there is no recall showing for my car, I have no heat in my car the blower mother doesn't work, my car is one that is affected by this recall, I just want my car fixed.
Pulling into a parking space, smelled electrical burning. Stopped & getting out the car, saw flames coming from inside the car under the glove box. Had a fire extinguisher near by so we we're able to keep the flames from burning the entire car and the cars next to us. Insurance company says its the result of 10/25/17 blower motor wiring recall.

There have been 2 wiring recalls. One for blower motor and one for pvc wiring that have still shown no remedy available. Since oct2017. My engine service light on my dash has been on for a month now. My code trader is indicating the blower issue. Any way to find out when this will be fixed ? thank you.
Received 2 recall notices from BMW USA 11/17 and 11/17 for issues with the blower motor wiring and the engine pcv valve heater. Contacted my local dealership to have them fixed. Was advised that they did not have authorization from the national office to perform the repairs. When questioned about having the parts the service representative admitted that they could get the parts but would not be reimbursed for the repair because the national office had not authorized their use. Repeatedly check with them over the next several months. Received the same answer again and again. Contacted BMW USA directly through their customer service and spoke with their representative who stated that they did not have the parts to repair the known safety issues and were hoping to have them fixed later this year. When I informed them that the local dealership said they could get the parts they finally admitted that yes they had them but not enough to cover all the recalled vehicles so they were not authorizing repairs yet.
I received recall notice for airbag, pcp valve heater,and blower motor wiring. In 2013-2015 my BMW was shaking heavily and scarily while driving and sitting at red lights. I spent $5,306 over 5 different bills from 4/1/2013 through 12/18/2015 which I will attach. As of today, 2/26/2018 the car is at the shop and a number of issues were presented including spark plug ignition, power steering in 3 points (reservoir suction hose, flush fluid), rear differential, pinion seal, both axle seals, needed reseal and rebuilt, motor valve covers, leak in suspension, and additional issues I could barely keep up with writing down as the mechanic was speaking them over the phone. He estimate $4,800 (this was midas, it would be more at the rockville BMW in rockville MD).
