1 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 05/12/2014

The brake lights, turn signal lights do not function properly. Several led are not functional. BMW is aware of the problem, but refuses to fix this safety issue. See sib 63-06-10. This is a very common problem on this series of cars. Search bimmer forums and you will see many people trying to figure out how to repair these lights because of the immense costs in replacing them. This needs to be fixed at the manufacturer level. BMW says that it is because of a poor connection within the light. They replace both of them if the vehicle is under warranty, but refuse to do anything for anyone out of warranty. I would like to request an investigation into this refusal of BMW to do anything about this obvious and dangerous safety issue. They did a recall on the 5 series car for the same problem. Don't you think they would also recall the 3 series. I guess they are trying to get out of fixing their manufacturing problems. There should be a warranty of merchanability regarding these lights. If they are not fit for their intended purpose, then the mfg should correct it. They say the new lights have a anti vibration gasket that helps. So, they are aware of how to fix it. They just need to do it.
