1 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem of the 2013 BMW 328

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

Replaced an about to blow timing shaft and timing belt for a n26 f30 BMW 328i. Will cause catastrophic failure of engine in case its blows up. I had it happen to me when I had 74k miles. BMW extended warranty until 70k but since my incident happened at 74k BMW refused to offer any help. This is a manufacturer defect as the composite material used to make the timing chain was brittle and was replaced in 2015.

5 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem of the 2013 BMW 328

Failure Date: 06/05/2017

On 6/5/2017 I was driving on a very busy garden state parkway in the afternoon at about 65 mph (which is a legal speed limit) when my car started shuddering, shaking and slowing down and a message came on saying "drive train malfunction. " I immediately called my husband who told me to pull over and shut off the car for 5 minutes. He managed to calm me down. When I restarted the car, the message was gone and it drove ok. I was very scared to drive it but the message has not come back. Instead my husband's BMW x3 2013 had the same message 2 months later and he was also on the highway during the incident. BMW service told him that the problem is the timing belt. We were reading all the complaints and primarily they are about the drive train malfunction - it has a faulty plastic part, which since 2015 was replaced by a metal part. I was driving in the middle lane of a very busy highway and I could have been killed (and my husband too). What does it take for BMW or NHTSA to issue a recall for this problem - a death or few?.

Failure Date: 12/12/2015

The contact owns a 2007 BMW 328i. The contact stated that after the vehicle was in the park position, the steering lock system failed to activate.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering lock failed and that the steering lock module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was partially repaired due to the dealer not being granted approval for the repairs to be performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

7 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem of the 2007 BMW 328

Failure Date: 02/03/2015

For two years my seatbelt sensor pad in the passengers side has been broken. The cost is $1400. I took it to the dealer only for them to say they don't see a recall on my car. I looked it up here and the same result. I research recalls on the 3 series 328xi on the internet and I see a seat sensor pad recall on some cars. What I don't understand is if it's the same sensor pad and/or same malfunction. Why is it only a fraction of the models? also it's unfair for you guys to make mistake with this information. By the time you have corrected the issue I will have died or paid for every defect out of my own pockets. Remember BMW is a business I am not. The new issues is something that I have never had happen in 20 years of driving. I hit an average size pothole and my suspension locked-up then later something snapped. It was the rear wheel drivers side. Its still in the shop but someone needs to look into the safety of all the vehicles and issue free repair or refund, ASAP. Also an issue with the fan but I a m running out of characters. To me it seems like most of the issue that you try to isolate by model are actual issues across all models and we need a solution. Better fix the issue now or later have someone's wheel come off on the highway. Or what if the air bag just never release? its your fault and BMW. You people sit on this information for years. They should be forced to come to my house and fix this shit!!!! or write me a check!!!!.

8 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem of the 2011 BMW 328

Failure Date: 11/01/2014

Takata recall: all began from purchase 09/2013 had engine bolt fixed on recall, but since several engine work performed due to loss of power when driving, had replaced coil/tune up done, several gaskets in the engine hasd to be replaced by BMW dealer, and dealer can't fix vehicle for "sputtering/back firing" when sitting at light or stationary it just stutters. Time to time driver window will not roll down when in car. Also, the seat belt light chimes to put seat belt on and no one is in passenger seat. Stereo lights pixels burning out & sound from time to time the speakers has muffled sound or poor quality sound. Brought car with 20,000 miles and now has 57,000 miles and issues with engine is way too much for low mileage.
