general problems of the 2009 BMW 328 - part 1

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.

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.

I am filing a complaint based on the recalls for my vehicle. There are two recalls with no solutions. My car has not been functional in over 6 months. I have called BMW and they have offered me no solutions. I want to receive compensation so I can be done with this vehicle and get one that I can actually drive.

Not a particular incident, but this recall has been active for a little more then two months. While also my car has been affected since fall of 2021. Not once have BMW even reached out or provide any type of consultation of maybe having a rental car for the time being, or simply buy back the car or something along those sorts.

I received a safety recall from BMW in 11/17 for a blower motor wiring. I called my BMW dealer today, and they say they still don't have the parts to fix this. Why does it take over 6 mos to fix a recall?.

Vehicle has two open recalls. Manufacturer has not provided any relief or remedy for over nine (9) months since NHTSA first published recalls.

Takata recall. This is the second time ive had to file a complaint. My car keeps dying in the middle of the road while I'm driving just randomly. It gives no warning or anything I can't drive my car in the heat or at night. I've been to the BMW dealership here and it's been 6months and they still don't have the recall parts. It's a very serious safety issue please contact me soon.

It has been 6 months , dealer did not fixed two recalls on my car . BMW 328i 2009. 1) NHTSA recall number17v676 2) NHTSA recall number17v683.

Tamara recall: recall on battery terminal; air bag; blower motor; heat valve: recall 10/27/ notified dealer: no parts available for any recall; don't know when will be available. Wait you will receive information by mail when available.

While driving on the interstate, I accelerate and without warning, dashboard lights up with "service engine soon" and various other lights, power steering goes out, and I have to maneuver car across lanes of oncoming traffic to a safe shoulder. I turn on hazards, remove key and wait several minutes. The car turns over but doesn't start. I wait longer, turn off hazards, re-insert key and car starts up. I am able to continue driving, but avoid hard throttle. This happened 2 months ago, and I took it to a licensed mechanic who diagnosed as faulty fuel pump and replaced it. The car then had vacuum leak followed by a complete replacement of valve cover. The issue I experienced on the interstate was identical to what occurred before those repairs were done and bears a striking resemblance to issues described in the 2013 battery cable recall, yet my VIN # is not included.

I had just left home and had been driving for few minutes. Was waiting on top of a small hill at a stop light and started to accelerate when it turned green. That is when the car turned off and started to roll backward down a hill. Had to put on emergency brake and tried to turn on the car but nothing happened. So had to cruise backwards to the side of the road. Power steering was not working and was difficult to steer. After wating 10 minutes tried to restart car again and it turned on. Brought the car in to the BMW dealership and they said they could find anything wrong with the car. Now 4 months later my car is not working at all.
