Stopping without notice can cause an accident and any of the issues can cause safety issues. What I sent them. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a series of issues with my 2017 BMW 740i and to request your assistance in resolving these matters. I have been working with my local BMW dealership to address several problems, but I believe there may be underlying issues that require further attention. I would appreciate it if you could review my case and consider the points outlined below. Background: recently, my vehicle was brought in for service to replace the spark plugs and address a few concerns, including the replacement of the fuel tank cover. During this visit, it was discovered that the pressure control valve was faulty and needed replacement. I was not previously informed of any issues with the pressure valve, and I have learned that BMW has issued an extended warranty on this part due to known faults. My understanding is that a faulty pressure valve can cause erratic fuel pressure, leading to premature spark plug failure. Given that my car has only been driven about 8,000 miles annually and is used weekly, not sitting idle for long periods, the spark plugs should still have life left. However, they may have worn prematurely due to the pressure valve issue. Concerns: pressure control valve and spark plug failure: it is highly unusual for three spark plugs to fail simultaneously, as spark plugs generally wear out gradually over time. In most cases, one spark plug would fail before the others if there were a gradual wear issue. The simultaneous failure of three spark plugs suggests a potential underlying issue, such as a problem with the ignition system, electrical issues, or a direct result of a faulty pressure control valve. I request that BMW cover the replacement cost of the spark plugs under the extended warranty for the pressure valve, considering the potential causation between these issues. Hard jerk when.

On two occasions a false fasten seat belt from passenger side has come up when the seat was not occupied. The car was sent for repair. On the first occasion it was indicated the wiring is loose for the seat belt harness so it was tightened. On the second occasion the car was sent to dealership it was diagnosed that the harness wiring track could come loose and therefore had to be rerouted.
I own a 2001 BMW that I purchased from my father. It has never been in a major car accident and he was the only own. The back seat belts were almost never used until I took possession of the vehicle a little over a year ago. Within the past three months I have notice that when my twin 4 year olds are buckled in their booster seats the seat belts spontaneously unbuckle. I have contacted BMW directly and a local BMW dealer. BMW says that it could be wear and tear of the mechanism and the dealer said maybe it is just the age of the mechanism causing this to happen. I understand that things wear out and break but apparently am under the false impression that my seat belts and airbag will protect me and my family in a crash. BMW will not pay for this repair since it is out of warranty and there is no recall on the part. The two belts will cost approximately $200 each plus labor. I am very concerned my children will be injured should I be involved in a car crash.

I contacted BMW customer relations after receiving notice of "recall campaign no. 13v-564: front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat" which applies to another BMW vehicle I own(2006 x5).

My most recent correspondence was February 19, 2014 via email which contained a scanned image of the diagnosis of said issue from BMW dealer, from which I've received no answer to date.
