Frm footwell module failed leaving car stranded problem identified by certified mechanic. Similar models (r55 & r56) in the same age range of my vehicle have been issued a recall, but the convertible model, in the same year, (r57) is not covered. All electric switches in the vehicle failed. Symptoms began with the abs and parking brake warning lights lighting. Other warning light was a service light.
The footwell module, referred to by the manufacturer as the frm, has corrosion inside. The module is currently staying active and drawing power from the battery at all times. It appears to the same issue as 23v337000, but this chassis number is not included in the recall. I believe that this vehicle has as large a fire hazard as other vehicles involved in the recall.
