1. ) what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? answer: my motor/engine gave out on me. No the vehicle is not available due to the fact that it was towed and too expensive for me to take out of the impound. My vehicle was then taken from me since I couldn’t pay to have it taken out ! 2. ) how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? answer: I was put at risk by being broken down on the side of the turnpike/highway in my state for over an hour without a cell phone to call for help. I had no choice but to accept a ride from a stranger, putting my life at jeopardy for a second time 3. ) has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? answer: im not familiar with the details of this question. But yes the dealer was made aware 4. ) has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? answer: the car was brought to a BMW dealership where nothing was done to resolve the problem were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? answer: yes.

55 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2017

We are waiting for BMW to get the parts to fix the recall announced in October of 2017. Today after calling BMW customer relations a representative named nick, #6971, said that parts might be available early summer. Mind you in December they said next month. Give us all a break. Cal them and tell them to get it in gear as the recall clearly states the cars my go on fire. They are working us all over. You need to call their executive team and tell them it needs to be done ASAP. Please take some action on this irresponsible car company. At least call them!!!.

57 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2016

Today while driving with my family to the airport on the highway my 2010 BMW 328i suddenly shut off. I didn't realize the engine had died so I kept going until the car got dangerously slow. Then I had to pull over 4 lane to the right and miraculously without any incident. I tried restarting but it wouldn't and I had to get it towed to the dealer. This was a dangerous situaltion and I am worried about giving this car back to my wife who is the primary driver. I purchased this car for safety reasons and that confidence is badly damaged.

60 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2014

I received a recall note campaign no. 14v-176 vanos assembly bolts on my 2010 BMW 328i in June. It is now the end of August and I have not heard anything about repairs. The nearest garage hasn't the parts and says nothing of the safety of my faulty vehicle or when parts may appear. I don't know if I can safely drive the car. I need to use it, but the letter says it can cause a crash. How long will this crap go on? I tried to contact BMW customer service over a week ago. . . . . No response. I tried to call the vehicle safety office at fed gov. . . . . Long wait on the phone. . . . . I can't get any answers from anybody. It's like the whole country has gone on vacation. Who's in charge? when will my car be fixed? can I drive the car in the meanwhile without risking my life?.
