Crankcase (pcv) Problems of BMW 328 - part 2

Has been over a year and there is still no remedy for the blower motor wiring recall nor the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater. This is ridiculous. What if my vehicle is one of the ones that start on fire, then what? if there is a recall, there is obviously a serious potential problem, so why are manufacturers allowed to have an excessive amount of time to come up with the fix?.

Blower motor recall and pcv valve recall. Hello, I got a recall notification in the e-mail for the pcv valve and the blower motor. I had already taken my car into BMW previously to have my vehicle worked on by BMW and carmax for problems on these parts and relating parts because they were not working properly. I was wondering if you could please take a deeper dive into my issue. BMW has said they will only reimburse about $250 when I paid much more than that before for the parts directly affected and indirectly affected by faulty parts. I look forward to hearing back from you and appreciate all the help.

Before any prompts on the navigation screen ever came up, I would often sometimes smell something burning or giving off a hot rubber smell which I addressed as soon I purchased the vehicle from queens auto mall auction, they said it was nothing to worry about if I did not see the check engine light on. While I was driving my BMW 328 xi 2011 the car suddenly lost power and a fuel pump malfunction display prompted on my navigation screen. The car stopped on a bridge in the left lane without me being able to pull over. The car would not start up again at all after several attempts. I waited about 30 minutes and the car started up again. I drove it back home 5 min away and got my vehicle towed to the BMW of manhattan where they say they took care of the problem. Once I picked up the vehicle, I drove for approximately 25-30 minutes before the same exact thing happened again and I was barely able to switch into the right lane so I can pull over and have another tow come and take my car to BMW of manhattan just an hour after I had it serviced. I had the recall for the pcv valve heater replaced at that service so I know the same fire/rubber burning smell can't possibly be from that valve recall. I have seen online many people have the same problem with their 3 series, and I am concerned this may be an underlying issue with all 3 series BMW 2006-2011. In both of these separate instances I was driving and was very scared that I could have gotten into a serious car accident in new york city.

Positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater. I have had the car repaired out of my own pocket when this part failed because the remedy is still not available. BMW will not even look at my car in order to issue a reimbursement because they said the remedy must be available first. It has almost been a year since the recall was first recognized.

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 took my BMW to south motors BMW was due to the 3 recalls cause by the manufactures defect. The last recall was risk of engine completely stalling(stopping) while driving which happen to me while driving on a city street with children in the car. We met with a BMW service advisor and he said that south motors BMW service more than 100 BMW since last year and they are only fixing the BMW's as a courtesy. He than stated he had to order a couple of parts for the recall, to give him a couple of days. He called the very next day and said the parts were in and advise that he have to charge a fee because his technician have to get paid. He gave us a price of more than $3,000 and said this is nothing, we charge the last customer for her BMW $12,000 we are giving you a good price. It gets worse they kept my BMW for another 5 days, smash the front of my BMW.

I was in tears, he looked at me and said it's just a car.

I had to replace the positive crankcase ventilation pcv valve heater and harness in April of 2017 because it melted. This cost me $3000 at patrick BMW in schaumburg, IL. I later found out that there is a recal # 17v-683 concerning this. I never received a letter from BMW about the recall. However, I'm looking to get reimbursed for my out of pocket charges. When I took my car to the closest dealer, I was told I had to wait to receive the reimbursement. Therefore, I'd like to file a complaint. In addition, I smell a burnt smell from time to time. I know there is a blower motor recall as well. I've experienced problems with the blower motor on my car since the first year of owning it. When I asked the dealer about the smell - I was told there were no signs of a burning smell. I'm concerned because the smell is not constant only on occasion. My fear is my car will catch on fire and cause damage to me or my property. Please tell me my rights concerning filing a claim on both recalls. One for reimbursement and the other for replacing the blower motor.
