general problems of the 2005 BMW 330

Dash mounted warning light indicated tail light issues. Checked the light and all the bulbs were fine but the entire tail light was not working. I then noticed the the brown wire in the connector had melted through the case and was touching other wires in the connector which caused it to short out the entire light. The brown wire has visible signs of melting. I have since found out that this is a common problem with my type BMW and a recall has been issued. Right now my VIN number does not fall under the notice but I have no tail lights.

Rear taillights intermittently work. Noticed that the rear connectors, specifically the grounding wire was melted. The turn signals will intermittently not turn on.

In August 2011 I got a warning indictor that there may be a problem with my right taillight. In November 2011 (in for routine service and other work) BMW mechanics at my area dealership informed me that my tailight suffered from the same problems identified in the current recall for 2003-2005 3 series taillights that may cause a fire. BMW told me my VIN "did not appear" to be listed on their recall list and that depsite the assessment of their certified mechanics, I would have to file a complaint with NHTSA in order to get you to tell BMW to add my car to the list so that my dealership will fix it. Please do so.

I presented this problem to the dealer a few years ago the instrument panel light kept telling me a bulb was out and when you look at it all the bulbs were working. I have replace the rear taillight assembly due to the prong where starting to melt. So I call Bmwna and they too ignored my first request for the recall on the 2005 BMW rear tail light hazard, I have since tried to called several times again and was told that my car was not within the recall time frame but it seems obvious that my car is having the same problem all the others ones have had and wish to get this potential hazard fixed because if the light on the dash will read one thing but the tail light is showing something different to those traveling behind me. I have enclosed the two photos of the burnt casing and harness. I feel this hazard is putting me and my family in great danger because there are no definite sign when or where these lights malfunction the blinker, brake, etc .
