| Electronic Stability Control problems |
I was driving and all of a sudden I could not steer, and the power was gone; it was barely moving; and the light came on saying to continue to drive with diminished speed. I was close to home on an access road; and was able to limp home. It was almost impossible to turn the steering wheel. I took it to global BMW in metro atlanta; and paid close to $3000 for repairs. Approximately a month later I had a problem again. The light came on and stated engine malfunction; reduced power, proceed with caution. In doing research this morning; I discovered that there was a recall on my vehicle for this exact problem. I did not know it; but global BMW had to know it. I called BMW recall and they claim that they are waiting on the parts. This recall has been in effect since 2010; so they must have the parts. Most of the lawsuits were settled out of court with a gag order; so it appears that BMW don't respond unless there is a formal complaint; and this is the reason for this complaint with your office. I will appreciate any assistance that you may provide.
I was warming up the car in the morning for work, it was on for about ten minutes; as I sat down put the car in reverse I heard a noise and and my car shut down. I turned my car back on and drove for a short period before noticing that there was not any air blowing. . . . I took it the the mechanic a day later to replace the blower motor. . . . The problem was not the blower motor, the problem was a rectangle shaped cable for four prongs but only three where connected to the blower motor melted and burned out the cable. The mechanic followed the cable and cut the affected burned corroded rusted !!! part of the cable, and replaced it. . . . . If I wasn't looking he would have charged me for a blower. . . . And maybe more !!! I honestly do think BMW should fix this problem. . . Two days later my driver side window switch when out- I purchased one at orielys auto parts; the water pump also failed the same day and my car over heated that made the total over 2 grand in less than a week!!! , but my blower works perfect wtf !!! everything began that morning. . . . Because of the cable that shorted !!! OH and on top of that the turbo is making noises and I think its failing now!!!.
Complete failure of abs pump and stability control with only 29000 miles. Cost to repair this basic safety system over $2900.
Dashboard warning indicator shows that stability control is not functioning.
