2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2018

Vanos camshaft fault. Fc 2a82 and fc 2a87. I was driving at a speed of 25mph the reduced engine power light comes on. I stop turn the car off and restart it the light is now off after driving for 10mins the light comes back on there is a loss of power I'm stepping on the gas and the car is not going this has happened nearly each time I've driven the car lately. I take the car to a shop spending almost $1000 to tell me the vanos or camshaft itself is the problem this repair is close to $4000. I see that this is binder recall for 2010 to 2014 models I'm thinking you just forgot us. Help thank you.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2014

Was going to lunch approx. 3-4 miles from my home as I pulled into the parking lot, the computer gave a panic warning to immediately turn off the engine as it was overheating and can cause damage. I turned off the motor and was confused as that was the only warning and it appeared that nothing was wrong. I got out of the car and opened the hood. As I was doing so the expansion tank exploded and the hot water shot past me and just caught my right shoulder. Needless to say if this caught me dead on I would have been burned badly. I called the dealer and was told that there was no recall on my vehicle. The dealer also told me to call another dealer as they may have better information. I had the expansion tank replaced and they replaced the coolant. There seems to be a air pocket in the engine and the coolant needs to be topped off after running the engine. If no recall, why not?.
