Turn Signal problems of the 2003 BMW 3 Series

Two problems related to turn signal have been reported for the 2003 BMW 3 Series. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2012

My tail lights and turn signals work for a while then quite working. The exact same symptoms as recall #11v438000 for the same type, model and year as my car, but BMW says my vehicle is not included.

2 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2009

Real light assembly (turn signal, parking light brake light) malfunctions occasionally and none of the lights work thus, posing a dangerous situation when vehicle in motion, turning and especially at night. Problem has been going on for at least a year. It appears that the wire connector in the assembly is burning out thus causing a short, I have temporarily repaired the problem myself by cleaning the burned parts of the wire and reconnecting and protecting with electric tape.
