Turn Signal Problems of BMW 335

Hello, I wanted to bring to attention the failing footwell modules in e9x generation Bmws. The modules have a high failure rate and when they become inoperable you lose your headlights, turn signals, locking and unlocking doors, power window control and the ability to move your mirrors. It is a serious safety concern that BMW has hidden from its customers as it is a known extended warranty but there is no recall for such an important component. I recently had my vehicle in to have it replaced and was declined as it had not failed enough. Essentially they want me to have an unsafe vehicle before the repair will be performed. I do have documentation that the unit is in the early stages of failing but BMW still refuses to honor the extended warranty.

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.
