Starter Problems of BMW 328

I am having a no start, no crank problem, new battery, remove starter, checked ok, fuses, ok. Repair cable but code sill appear, month later n start or crank. This week brought new cable it detonated. Had car towed and now at home. Owned this car since July 2018 and totally upset. This is my second BMW and I love it. I am no sure but I believe the car was in an accident before I brought it.

The battery connections in the rear compartment have completely corroded. My mechanic has told me this is a common issue with many BMW series not just the 3 series. Water seepage appears to be a specific problem with failures to rubber gaskets in the trunk/rear lights in this convertible. The repair is $2,000. 00 as the entire cable system must be replaced to the engine an 11 hour job. This is a well known issue but not acceptable from a car that has been garaged its entire life. This should be investigated as many consumers are paying an enormous bill due to bad design, workmanship and engineering. The dx occurred after much investigation and the inability to start the car for 2 weeks after $300. 00 worth of repairs (new battery, starter, relay switch) the mechanic told me that we were lucky there was not a fire as the both main cables were arcing at the connection point.

Takata recall - I have had two separate major issues with this vehicle since I purchased it in may 2018. Over a month ago , my car started to make a loud squealing noise while idled at stop light and would ease up when I would accelerate. My engine was shaking so badly that I could feel it with my foot on brake petal. My roommate heard the squealing noise from inside my house and came out to see what was wrong. Entire engine was shaking as if something was not on properly. Happened one other time since while coming back from work. Second major issue occurred while on the way to work Monday morning - I was making a semi sharp right turn off ruffin mill road in chester and my �service engine soon� light immediate came on and the car went from 35mph to 0 - my car felt as if I couldn't turn the wheel and engine stopped. I cut the car off then back on - light went away and I was able to drive. Less than 5 minutes later, I was coming to a stop light, about to turn left and the same thing happened. Cut car off then back on and it was okay. I have had a lot of issues with this car and even had to get brand new starter two weeks after purchase. Attachment shows all issue with car given to me by mainentance.

The failure progressed to the point that the dealer stated that the starter and drive belt tensioner needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the contact was awaiting the diagnosis. The failure mileage was not available. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The smoke cleared and he continued to drive the vehicle. Intermittently, the contact detected a burning plastic odor coming from the vents. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. Approximately one year ago, the check engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle shook.

Battery and starter all checked out. But break pedal stiffens up and car will not start. I have read on internet and watched a few videos about the same problem. How many people have to suffer and pay for Bmws problems.

As I was driving home from work one evening, my 2008 BMW 328i coupe began acting strange. The interior overhead lights as well as most all of the dashboard lights (radio, hazard button, on-board computer etc. ) began to flicker accompanied by a ticking noise in sequence with the flickering. The vehicle was acting as though it was about to shut down; that's when I decided to pull over. As I pulled off of the road, the steering became more difficult and the flickering became more frequent. While coming to a stop (travelling at about 10mph), the vehicle completely shut off. I lost complete control of vital mechanisms such as steering, power, lighting (both interior and exterior). The brake pedal felt unusually firm/stiff (not spongy or soft as it should feel). At this point, the vehicle had completely shut down with the gear selector still in "drive". I attempted to re-start the vehicle but it failed to start. I had my vehicle towed back to my apartment and the following day, I took it to a reputable, independent BMW mechanic. His diagnosis was that something related to the vehicle's battery, power supply system/electrical system circuitry was faulty--which in turn, killed the starter. He replaced the battery with a new oem battery as well as replaced the starter with an new oem starter and the related wiring/circuitry. A few weeks later, I received a recall notice in the mail-- March 2013 recall no. 13v-044 : power supply system. Because the symptoms noted in the recall letter match those I experienced identically, I am seeking reimbursement for the cost of repair that correlates to this issue. However, BMW states it will only reimburse the cost of repair pertaining to the single part at fault/recalled. The cause of this recall is known, but they are failing to reimburse customers for the damaging effects that the faulty/recalled part may have had on other components.
