The vehicles ftm (footwell module) isn't working. During a drive my turning signals didn't want to work. My headlights won't turn off. Windows stay put. Doors don't lock. Vehicle is stationary but can still be operated. Shops around the area notified me that they had a few vehicles have the same problem this year. There was a recall for the same probably the dates for the recalls didn't include my cars manufacturered state.

My car hasn't start up for 2 years now. 1st it started with a dead starter, then alternator, then the radiator and water pump bursted, and as I was standing outside of my car the passenger air bag deploys while the car was off and key out of the ignition. Luckily no one was in my car but now my car doesn't and wont crank or turnover, it makes a buzzing noise for a split second when I hit the start/stop button and thats all. I'm getting full voltage to it. Every time I run my scanner, I get different codes every time, I bought a 2nd scanner (carly) to compare and both threw out different codes every time but the main ones was the starter and pcv code; which I got 3 different starters put in, all new and the code was still ahowing. Ive spent more time researching and more money buying parts to fix my car then what I bought the car for which was $6k. Worst part is that my car wont even start so I cant take it to the shop and im definitely not paying a toll fee just to have the shop tell me what I already know. Ive looked up forums and multiple people is facing the same issues as I am with their results ending with a "please help if anyone finds out what this issue is". I've replaced the battery 3 times and registered the batteries each time. I have a new starter, alternator, radiator, radiator fan, water pump, thermostat, reservoir, crankshaft and camshaft position sensor, battery, ibs cables, power distribution box, ground straps, oil filter, oil filter housing, spark plugs, coil packs, manifold and gaskets, pcv valves, start/stop switch, relays, fuses, and I still get the same results which is no crank/no start and a buzzing noise. When I spoke with BMW customer support I told them that the closest BMW repair shop is 2 hours away from me and the lady replied "that's going to be a huge chunk of money for towing". I mean seriously, BMW should be paying for or that and fixing their mess but won't own up to it.

While in motion on highways, city streets, and turning, certain system sometimes lose power (e. G. , radio, windshield wipers while raining, stability control, stable braking, center console, headlights at night). Loss of stability control and loss of stable braking messages appear quite frequently then go away several minutes later. Other messages for loss of other systems also appear sometimes. This appears to be an electrical issue that occurs when at any speed constant or otherwise. These intermittent failures have been happening since I purchased the car with 81k miles. It now has 100k miles.

I have had two door lock actuators fail in my car. At best, this presents as a case where the door lock is physically slow to lock/unlock, or at worst, the passenger cannot open the door from inside. This could present a safety or other adverse situation when the passenger needs to exit the vehicle. This is a known failure point in the at least BMW f30 3 series models, as the web forums are littered with people experiencing similar issues. BMW should recall these failed actuators. This is unacceptable in vehicles between 3-7 years old.

Was dismissed by BMW stating that my vehicle does not fall under the safety recall 17v-683 � positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater � (�blow-by-heater�). Despite having the discribed issue which has blown 3 fuses over a period of one week. This dismissal despite the engine type and year being mentioned in the recall. Note: recall deems the vehicle unsafe and potentially harmful to me and my family.

My passenger side seat sensor is faulty which is a part of the passenger side air bag and may not cause it to deploy in the event there is an accident. There have been many Bmws affected by this but BMW dealer will not do this under recall or warranty.

Whilst driving vehicle, battery warning light, brake warning lights came on. Vehicle lost all power steering, and was impossible to drive. After visit to dealership, appears that harmonic balancer was completely broken off, in turn, taking out various belts, including the belts that power a/c and most importantly power steering. BMW already replaced these belts twice, under warranty. Unfortunately, it appears the harmonic balancer appears to be an issue for many of the 335d vehicles, as well as for x5 savs, equipped with same engine. Complete loss of powersteering, is an unacceptable danger, in particular for a part that appears to be weak (design flaw), as documented by other BMW 335d owners.

The engine stalled multiple times driving on the highway. When I turn off the car and turn on the car, it would go back to normal. I researched this is a problem for 335d, I think im experiencing the same problem, not sure why 335i is not included in the recall list. This happened multiple times for me and I ignored it at that time, other person has also experienced the same issue when he was driving my car. Now the electrical battery power is completely shut off and there is no recall, this really bothers me.

Blower motor recall. My BMW caught on fire on 5/17/2018. I believe it may be related to the current recall concerning engine fires in several model lines. It was parked in my driveway. Had been turned off for over 1 1/2 hours. Damage was primarily isolated to the front and rear. Fire department was called and arrived within 3 minutes to extinguish the fire. Comments made by arson investigators were odd burn patterns. First thought was electrical related fire. They had to call back fire fighters due to worry the battery would reignite.

Pertaining to NHTSA recall number 17v676 that was issued in October of 2017, I called BMW customer service in December to inquire about the status of the recall but was told to continue checking its website for status and the rep could not provide a timeframe as to when I can bring the car to the dealership for repair. We are now at the end of January, more than 3 months after the recall was issued and still no eta as to when a fix will be available. When there's a safety risk involved, I'm not sure why there was not an urgency being placed on this recall from BMW.
