Tl the contact owns a 2013 BMW 535i. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message parking light malfunction and adaptive head light malfunction were displayed on the instrument panel. Additionally, the left turn signal light malfunctioned and would not operate. The cause of the failures were not determined. The local dealer BMW of macon located at 4785 riverside dr, macon, GA 31210, was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Earlier this year, water was noticed in the front left headlight. Dealer notified me that a seal was broken and the unit needed to be replaced ($2500+). 2 weeks later, the front right headlight did the exact same thing. Vehicle is approx. 4. 5 years old with 55k miles. Shop foreman told me this particular model is known for this problem and BMW is aware as well. I know multiple people with this vehicle that have the same issue. The defective seal in the headlight units for this model present numerous safety concerns, the most serious of which is the inability to see the road due to the moisture buildup. Further, the moisture eventually causes the bulbs to go bad, particularly the turn signal bulb where the moisture first enters. Other vehicles cannot see that turn signal or headlight. A recall needs to be seriously considered to replace the defective seals on these headlights as they not only render the vehicle useless (unable to pass state inspections) but also presents serious safety concerns due to a lack of visibility, both to the driver and other drivers.
