One problem related to ignition coils failure has been reported for the 2011 BMW 328. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This vehicle was purchased used and before the manufacturer's 50,000 mile warranty period expired. Since 1/2013, this vehicle has been in and out of the service shop for ignition coil issues. Since January 2013, this vehicle has had 3 ignition coils replaced, one during the extended warranty, one that I paid for and one that was completed gratis. My concern is that this appears to be some type of manufacturer's defect and I am very concerned about my safety. So much so that I contacted BMW north America during the week of December 26, 2013 and spoke with [xxx]. When I asked to speak with the president of BMW north America, I was told by [xxx] that there would be no further escalation beyond her because her job was to resolve issues and she basically pushed my concern aside as the wind blows leaves. This is a major safety issue that BMW needs to resolve immediately before someone loses their life. I have done research on the internet and have found that this is an ongoing issue with BMW's which I have now come to understand = bring more worry. I have owned over 10 cars in my lifetime and never have I experienced so many trips to the repair shop!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
