Tail Light Switch Problems of BMW 328

Tail light carrier burned. I had changed tail light bulbs several times. But they keep burning out. I even got a ticket for broken tail light. I believe this is an issue with the car and should be considered a defect and recalled/repaired.

Was getting warnings about left rear brake and turn lights malfunctioning for months that would turn on and then go away. On christmas day the brake light and turn light for left rear came on and stayed on. I went and bought bulbs to replace them since at that point the lights were no longer working (instead of a warning that would come on then go right back off once the brake was pressed or left turn signal was used). I took the tail light assembly off to replace the bulbs and once I disconnected the wiring harness I discovered that the ground pin was melted off the tail light side of the connector and stuck into the wiring harnesses. I have never made an NHTSA complaint before, but felt this was dangerous between the fact that 1 it pulled enough current to melt the wiring pin into the harness and 2 I was driving down the road and lost rear brake tail and turn lights on the left side.

Fault in airbag on screen, comes on and off. Started around 61,513 miles. Exact message "fault in airbag, belt rensioner or belt-force limiter. Few days later, check engine comes on, along with high rpm's, while struggling to accelerate. 12/10/2018 engine is extremely loud and dropping off at dealer. Also back tail lights have moisture, back passenger was replaced a year ago. Driver side now needs replacing.

About a month ago, (today's date is 10/8/18) my drivers side reverse light went out. With it being a light that isn't really a necessity or safety hazard, I didn't have any urgency replacing. Last night I decided to peel the cover off the trunk to access my tail light, and once removed, the entire bulb housing falls out of the tail light. There is a lot of melted plastic (it was very very hot) in the tail light. I examine the bulbs, none being burnt out. No where on the part that the lights actually go into has any heat damage (burnt and cracked plastic). I then contact my mechanic with a video asking him what I need to resolve the issue now that I see my tail light is literally melted. He says he'll have to check it out and will come by in the morning. He was �baffled� and said that it is entirely a manufactures defect, after inspecting the connector, as well as all the wiring. I then had him, (out of curiosity) check and see if the passenger side was also defected. I get on google and see that this is a common problem with my exact car, and numerous peoples vehicles have burst into flames but there isn't a recall?? even people's cars that are turned off??? I have two toddlers and just traveled 750 miles away 1500 miles from home and back. I am very angry at the fact that they as well as my own safety was in danger the entire time and we had no knowledge of. And I'm even more angry that I could have been taking my niece to an appointment tomorrow morning (I do have to find other means to get her there) and my car just combusts, had I not cared to replace the bulb, my car could catch on fire while typing this complaint. I have seen a lot of people say BMW is taking no responsibility for this issue.

Both driver and passenger led tail lights are starting to fail. Both are flickering and one is dimming, this is happening on the tail gate mounted lights.

The driver side tail light is malfunctioning where not all the leds illuminate when braking or using the turn signal. The turning signal also operates very rapidly. I was informed that this was not covered under my extended warranty so I called Bmwna who offered no assistance at all. This is a critical safety component of the car that is known to be defective, its cost is expensive and should last longer than three years. Since it is an led type light, the entire light assembly needs to be replaced as there are no standard bulbs that can be replace by the owner.

My 1999 BMW 328i (e46) tail lights and brake lights regularly fail, cause false fault display warnings, turn signal bulbs burn out or flash at a high speed for a few seconds and then flash normally, and then burn out. This is an ongoing problem for this car. Nhtsa is investigating. There have been numerous reports of turn signal/brake light harnesses overheating, shorting out, and melting. When car was under warranty, BMW told me there was nothing wrong, it was just bad bulbs. I hear BMW is now charging $400. Per side to repair out of warranty cars. My car went out of warranty in 2003, and this was an ongoing problem before it ran out. The mileage was approx. 25k when problem started and continues now at approx. 89k miles.
