One recall was for air bag deployed I had the light for it on but it was on when I got it the original owner said it popped on him well he was parked and he never fixed it or did anything . . . The other was a part of the computer pretty much in charge of cooling the car down it can make fire from melting and cause unfixable/ to constant issues . . . . Well my hole engine stopped working it was getting too hot miss firing coolent mixing with oil and started to smoke it was white smoke that came out didn't smell like anything crazy maybe mostly coolent and pretty much it had electric issues since I got it so the recall issue makes sense so I took it in to BMW riverside they said they will fix all that and contact me it's been almost 2 weeks I live in my car I'm disabled and a mom I can't even go drive and see my child over this I have no income disabled type thing and no word what's wrong they said they might charge me a few of 287 but I'm disabled no income yet so that's out it tells me it will be fixed free and if the dealer won't fix the electric system on everything in the car and not charge me later like they said they will then I want to sue big time and if that's not dun when clearly safety was in danger fire issues and crap I want the same car but a new one off the lot not brand new car or fix then I'm sueing for my losses that simple.
My car lost all power as if the battery died. BMW had a recall for the positive battery cable running from the battery in the trunk to the fuse box behind the glove box. This recall was apparently remedied prior to my ownership according to the dealership. I began to troubleshoot the issue and when the positive battery cable near the fuse box was moved by hand, the vehicle powered up immediately. The random loss of power issue persists even after the recall. While driving on the interstate prior to this happening, my dash lights went out along with the radio. Losing complete power to the vehicle while traveling at interstate speeds is an obvious hazard. The dealership says that recall repairs are not warrantied by the manufacturer and it would be an out of pocket expense to fix something that BMW already knows is a problem.
I was driving my car when all of a sudden the lights in the odometer started flickering and the car started putting and then shut off. Basically broke down on me. I cannot get it to stay on it feels like it has no power.
Car running lean oil leak getting hot,loss of power,jolting forward also my car has been in dealership shop for 2 years I'm being charged for services I know weren't done,overcharged,and my car still isn't fixed also the service manager told me he was aware of the recalls,when I told him to this was 4 days ago,however my car is being withheld from me,recalls have been known if it's been two yrs,they filed a lien June of last year I opposed it and they never responded back! my car still sits there causing injury to my livilyhood I've missed almost 1year of work I live in the sierra's where it snows I can't get to work with no car!.
Vehicle caught on fire while no one was driving and the engine was not on. It was parked for approximately 45 minutes. The fire started at the front under the hood. It destroyed melted the engine parts.
Consistent steam coming through hood of vehicle. Electrical panel indicators. Vehicle has been serviced regularly and sent to BMW mountain view for recall repairs.
Car doesn’t hold a battery wants to start 2% of the time engine shook the pulley off so have troubles steering it’s under recall for a few things I would love a new car from BMW because this one is a nightmare the BMW tech advised me not to drive it so have been carless all year pretty much.
My car is losing power and the instrument panel tends to flicker on and off at times. I had to replace the battery cables, due to water entering the battery compartment and corroded the cables. Once that was repaired it was determined that the the positive battery cable at the front power distribution box may be damaged by vehicle vibrations or something which cause no power going to the distribution box. I repaired the issues with the battery cables and the water collecting in the battery compartment. Now the problem I outlined above with the power not reaching the the front distribution box is now being worked on. I reached out to BMW and was told that my specific VIN # was not impacted. However, it's hard to tell based on the description of the problem as outlined in the recall 13v-044. At this time I can't find the copy of the repair bill, however, the repairs were completed at motorsports gmbh, 101 park Ave, lyndhurst, NJ 07071 approximately $2,000. 00.
My car is suffering from recall 19v472000 for my BMW 328i . My car horn dash lights windshield wipers and all my electric functioning in this aspect have continued to go on and off causing me to almost wreck numerous times as well as causing others to wreck into my car. Yet my VIN is not included in this recall when I type in my VIN. My car type year and model is however. I have another recall just fixed by BMW for the blower motor wiring and one supposedly waiting on a remedy. BMW you need to VIN to this recall list and stop hiding that you screwed so many . We pay for luxury cars for a reason… not so they stall out, catch fire whether on or off, or the entire electric system fails. The problems started around 108k. This had put my family and granddaughter at risk.
Vehicle needs an airbag replacement, and two electrical components fixed. One of those electrical components may lead to the car overheating which is extremely dangerous and a fire hazard. I have called the BMW roseville, CA dealership multiple times and they do not answer. I am concerned because I commute for work and I also drive around my pregnant wife and my 5 year old daughter.

Seat occupancy detector faulty. Passenger airbag light came on so took to BMW dealer. (as an aside this occurred shortly after (WI 3-4 months) air bag replaced due to takata airbag recall). Told related to seat mat sensor, which was under/in passenger seat. Not told that could disable front air bag. Not told that multiple BMW models including 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 models have same defect, including the 3 series, and the 328i model, and the 5 series,and in particular, models with climate or sport seat (like mine). Told replacement cost well over $1,000. Declined service thinking it was just a defective seatbelt notice issue (and seatbelt worked), not realizing impacted safety. When air bag light continued to stay on and came on more frequently, took car to a non-BMW repair shop for a second opinion, which told me this is a very common issue with Bmws and that defect prevents passenger air bag from deploying. Called BMW dealership back and restated what other repair shop had said and this time service person told me may be subject to recall, but when he looked up VIN number this particular model not included. This time BMW service person also told me that issue will deactivate air bag deployment. BMW refused to repair without charging full amount. Called BMW customer relations and services at BMW USA to complain and while acknowledging all of these issues with other models/years claimed they could not assume the same issue occurring here. Really??? this is an issue that can significantly increase risk of injury in the event of a crash. BMW is aware of the issue and refuses to do anything about it. Shame on BMW.
The car has had a strong smell of melting plastic coming from the air flow in the vehicle. It has happened over the course of 3 weeks and not sure what the melting plastic is coming from. It happens when the car is in motion and especially worse when the heater is on.
