A problem with the post it I've crankcase ventalatinon short circuiting.

My car automatically shut off and I smelled a burning plastic odor coming from the engine. I took my car to the BMW licensed mechanic that I normally see who repaired the issue that was deemed to be the pcv valve heater. This happened at the end of may. Then at the end of June, I received a lower from BMW announcing recall # 17v-683: pcv valve heater. BMW told me today that they can not refund me for the repairs that I had done because these repairs had to be performed at a BMW dealership. I have all my receipts. Total repairs cost $2626. 91 + rental car expenses of $204. 16 and $76. 71.

There's a recall for my car's pcv and BMW still hasn't developed a remedy to fix the issue. . . . Going on 9 months now. How long are BMW drivers with recalls supposed to wait to fix their cars. I can't believe that the company would leave their customers standing idle on this issue for so long.

My 2007 BMW 530i engine caught fire on April 15 the moment car was ignited in the early morning. I was with my wife and 2. 5 years old son at the time of incident. It could have been a major disaster or even blast if we were not home or with fire extinguisher to control the fire on time. We reported about this life-threatening incident to BMW na multiple times but their customer service representative from corporate headquarters ¿betsy hohmann� called our concerns as hypothetical unless there were personal injuries involved. BMW of fremont service center identified that pcv heated hose shorted out and burnt other components. The wire harness and intake manifold were burnt out and melted. The dealership verbally accepted this issue a design flaw that caused almost 6-9 inches flames inside the engine. BMW na customer service offered a deal to fix the problem as long as we sign a confidential nda to hide the facts. BMW na also recommended us to sell this car after repairs but we don't want to risk anyone else¿s life by not disclosing the fire even if we agree to BMW na's proposed resolution. Our confidence in BMW brand has already shaken from the outcome of our conversations because after all this is the matter of customer life, safety, trust and brand.

Certain BMW engines have an oil separator valve. It is part of the crankcase ventilation system, and it is intended to eliminate moisture from the oil. Several BMW owners are now reporting that this valve can freeze in very cold temperatures. When it freezes, excess pressure develops in the crankcase. Valve cover gaskets often blow out, and oil often pumped into the intake creating heavy amounts of oil smoke. In my case the engine stalled and could not be restarted. The disabled vehicle created an obvious traffic hazard, as well s a secondary risk of exposure to vehicle occupants in subzero temperatures. BMW has issued an internal technical note to its dealers, and has developed a retrofit kit to remedy the defect. Cost for dealer repair is approximately $1,800. BMW is not offering to reimburse owners for repairs incurred out of warranty.
