1 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2025

Shark fin antenna - telematic control module malfunctioning. Seems to have a leak issue causing modules inside/under antenna to get wet from rain or car washes. This is causing an error message "sos emergency call system malfunctioning", you will not be able to make calls under an emergency. Other issues include gps, remote start, lane assist, adaptive cruise control etc. . . Not working properly and potentially causing an accident on the road.

2 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2024

There is a known recall on this car for engine/starter. It is a hazard and should be repaired. On 10/23 we scheduled and took the car to BMW of NW arkansas. They refused to complete the recall on the starter without us paying $189. 00 for a vehicle diagnostic and I am sure that would have resulted in more fees. A recall should be completed free of charge as it directly relates to a safety issue. Another issue on the vehicle that I am not sure if it is a recall items is the gps antenna allows water to intrude and thereby the gps/safety location services to fail. It is a complained about issue online from BMW owners. BMW will not replace or repair this faulty item either. "a recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. " bwm refuses to adhere to this standard and is placing my family at risk by failing to repair without me paying for it. They should be forced to complete this at no cost.
