Electronic Stability Control Problems of BMW 328 - part 1

While driving 70mph car went into neutral coasting to a stop. I had no control of the gas causing a dangerous sittuation as we coasted to the side of the road. After placing the vehicle into park, it would not start and needed to be towed. Vehicle could not be put into neutral for towing purposes. Repair shop said the timing chain had went out seizing and ruining the engine. 15k repair bill, very dangerous sittuation having no control over a vehicle at high speed highway driving!.

The fotwell modules on these cars are defective. . There was an extended waraanty covering this to replace the defective frm(or footwell module)but it does not include this car. . The car's headlights, brakelights, domelites stay on with car off, thus drainig the battery. The car then lacks power and can shut off even when driving causing a serious accident. In this model car, these are fmr2 modules that can't be rebuilt. BMW 328i has a supeceeded part and I called them and they wont cover the cost or honor the warranty for this car. Thus I am submitting this as I heard several other BMW onwners with similar models have experienced defective footwell modules. . I strongly feel my car should be included as a recall or extended warranty on this part. You cannot replace it as BMW parts no longer carries it, thus how to you get this car to run with the battery draining with lights on?? this poses a danger if vehicle stalls with battery voltage declining as car will no longer run,,even when driving.

To avoid a head on collision, I was forced off road. When I moved out of the way I immediately applied the breaks which then took some time to respond as if it was blocked or as if I didnt press the pedal. By the time I felt some sort of stopping tension I was put into a pole. Airbags did not deploy.

My car started giving error codes of chassis stabilization malfunction errors. It started draining the battery (new battery less than a year) where it needed to be jumped. The dealer said the power supply cable from the battery to the motor needs to be replaced. Vehicle started then wouldn't run normal and then battery was dead. Once jumped it ran but shakes bad.

I was slowing to a stop in rush hour traffic, went to brake and the engine revved up to 300 rpms and lurched forward, almost hitting the car in front of me. Traffic was crawling so I was only going about 20 mph before I was about to make a complete stop.

Consequence wiring that overheats could cause the electrical connectors to melt, and increase the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is unattended.

Please advise!.

Purchased the vehicle in late March. We have already had to go to the repair shop more than 3 occasions. I believe they are using faulty pieces in vehicles. We spent 13k and put down 4k. Now working 2 months the repairs are costing close to 5k in 2 months. I understand buying used vehicles as my first car was used. However I have had no issues in 2 years. I believe this piece was broken and they didn't want to repair the issues with the car based on cost.

At stop light, warning on the dashboard "drive moderately, increased steering effort required. Consult service center. " the steering was very tough to rotate and it created panic. After a couple of hours, restarted car and the steering was more manageable. Dealer came back suggesting the car needs "reprogramming" and despite under BMW platinum extended warranty 236 usd was charged . Should have been covered or an outright recall instead of charging as if it is a feature. I would request NHTSA to look into the matter and make BMW responsible for such mistakes instead of consumer paying. I could have been in an accident on the freeway for a software bug which BMW created. If this is how BMW intends to make money of service, it is a serious corruption and should be investigated. Let me know if you if you need any further information to make a case or test the car. Fault codes 4823c2 480ab8.

This malfunction disables all of the features on the steering wheel. The warning message appears in the navigation screen repeatedly when driving.

My car has been having serious issues. Over heating, smoking uncontrollably,unable to use air/ heat conditioning due to toxic smoke coming through vent. Lights signal, check engine light, and brake light will not turn off. I fear for my life and have been car pulling due to my car issues. I feel as though, my car is at risk of catching on fire.

There's been a recall on the parts that control the flow or speed of the ac unit in the car, also the airflow. There's several other recalls on this car. A notice was originally sent out to me in November of 2017. It's now August of 2018 and another notice has not been sent out. I've reached out to BMW on this issue was simply told that if smoke or a fire starts in my car, to pull over and dial 911. The fact I can't use my ac in arizona is out of control, it's extremely hot here. Earlier in the year it was okay since it was cooler but now temps are reaching over 110 degrees. I did find the part but also asked for a reimbursement if I were to purchase it and was told I'd still have to wait for a second letter. Why should I need to wait for a second letter for something there's a recall on? especially something that can put myself or child in damage or other people.

I was driving with an adult passenger on June 1, 2018 at approximately 3 pm on a public street, traveling straight at approx 40 mph. Conditions were dry and sunny. I pressed the brake at a stop light and the car stopped for a brief second and then lunged forward while the brake was still depressed. I put both feet on the brake and pushed hard to the floor. The car continued forward several feet and slowed to a stop. The engine was revving while I tried to stop and my passenger stated that the rpms increased rapidly. No warning lights came on or engine warning. I was approx 2 miles from the BMW dealership so I slowly drove my car there, putting it in neutral each time I had to stop. I explained the situation, they reviewed the car and found nothing wrong. The car has a history of idling high/fast, which I also relayed to the dealership. There were no obstructions near or under the brake pedal and I did not accidentally step on the gas. I am canceling my lease tomorrow.

I bought a used 2011 BMW 328i from a used dealership. I drove it home the first day started to overheat. I checked the carfax on the car & it has 2 recalls. Is it illegal for a dealer to sell me a car knowing it has a 2 safety recalls?.

The vehicles rdc module that communicates to the tpms gets wet and causes a complete electrical system failure. This module on is located under the passenger rear wheel splash shield on the outside of the vehicle and is exposed to elements. This is a poor design and location. Failure happened during vehicle operation and even when off and it causes complete loss of all safety function. It seems to be a common issue when researching online.

The engine light would come on, but nothing would be wrong with the car at least I thought.

Car over heats and smoking.

I was driving my 2009 BMW 328i sedan on the highway during peak morning office hour (~ 07:45 am cst) on August 24th 2017 when all of a sudden the steering control started behaving weird. The steering wheel was not staying straight. It was going to the extreme left and right resulting in the car going all over the lanes by itself. I was scared and panicked at this sudden behavior of the car. Ultimately I hit the brakes and the car seemed to get back to control. I pulled over to the shoulder and got the car towed to my home. Note that the car was not driven for a month as I was on vacation. I am thankful to god that I am safe and didn't hit or get hit by another car!.

" takata recall " : I remember the moment my car accident happened ( 7-18-17 ) : when I arrived del Mar pharmacy's parking lot ( 9008 e. Garvey Ave. Rosemead, CA 91770 ), absolutely I slowed down my car and approaching the parking space. When my car 's front tires touch one side of the pavement ( there are 2 pavements separated apart about 3 feet with soil where are planted with flowers, each pavement is approximately 1/2 foot thick and 1/2 foot high ). While I stepped on my car's break pedal, I felt the car suddenly lost control and it jumped on my side's pavement, and almost at the same time, both air bags burst, made the car ran over to almost a half of the distance between 2 pavements ( about more than 2 feet ) and hitting the rear of another parking car ( on opposite side of my car's parking space ( lot ). I didn't know what reason had made the breaking system didn't function well, then the car jumped on the pavement, and both air bags suddenly burst, made the car madly jump over to another side of parking space ( opposite side ) and made the accident serious ( 1 car's rear almost was crashed, another car's rear on the other side of parking space was hit by this car' s head . Finally, the police came to make the report, and my car was towed away to my friend's parking lot. After 1 week, I called the repair shop which fixed my car;s break system in June. Now it is still there, and waiting for BMW investigating more than 3 weeks already, but still without any result if you still have any questions, please just email me. I will do my best to explain every detail. Sincerely, yours : nguyen quach.

I recall the moment my car accident happened : when I arrived the pharmacy parking lot, absolutely I slowed down my car and approaching the parking space.

Therefore : 2 reasons, the breaking system didn't function well at first, when the car jumped to the pavement, the air bags suddenly burst, made the car madly jump over to another side of parking space ( opposite side ) and made the accident serious ( 1 car's rear almost was crashed, another car's rear on the other side of parking space was touched by this car' s head almost no evidence ). Finally, my car stopped, can't move anymore !.

I began experiencing trouble with my 2009 BMW 328i sedan as early as January 2017. The air conditioner would sometimes go on and at other times it wouldn't go off . I was experiencing the same problems with the heater. Shortly after my car began to overheat and stall out. It would hold back until I was in 4th gear, if I even made it that far before dying out. It began to sound like a old vw. L reached out to my local BMW service dept. For repairs. I was told that the problems my vehicle was having,. Was not under recall by BMW at that time. And that any repairs done to my vehicle would have to come out of pocket. At the time it wasn't an option. I had the repairs done at a local independent auto repair shop. 11 months later I began experiencing the exact same problems all over again. Since February 2018 I have been reaching out for assistance to repair my vehicle defects which are now under recall by BMW , with no success. I've attached an outlined history of my contact with BMW customer relations. My vehicle remains stationary at my place of residences, awaiting a phone approval by BMW customer relations to BMW roadside assistance. For towing.

Out of no where the car didn't want to start up any more. It was parked in my driveway. At first I thought it was the battery but it wasn't. I had it checked out and they didn't know why it couldn't start. I checked online and then I noticed that there's been a recall for 3 series BMW due to electrical problems and I noticed that a lot of people were in my shoes.

Battery died. Got a charge and red steering light with a lock turned on. Locked steering and unable to start car after charging.
