NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE BULBS TO GO OUT. IT DID HOWEVER CREATE A SHORT THAT NEEDED TO BE CLEARED AFTER I TAPED UP THE WIRES THE BEST I COULD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
STARTING WITH ELECTRICAL THE DASH SCREEN HAS BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN SINS I BOUGHT THE CAR. DEALER CANT REPLICATE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS SO OFTEN. WATER PUMP AND GAS PUMP HAVE GAVE ME PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER THEY FIX IT. AFTER RECALL FOR HEATER ISSUES, MY CAR ABSORBS FUMES FROM THE ENGINE. ADVISER AND SUPERVISOR FROM BMW DEALER SAY THAT IS NORMAL CAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE CAR GETS THE HEAT FROM. CENTER DIVIDER FROM INSIDE OF THE CAR GETS EXTREMELY HOT WHEN I HAVE HEATER ON, TO WHERE I CAN FEEL THE HEAT GO THROUGH MY JEANS. ADVISERS AND SUPERVISOR ALSO STATE THAT IS NORMAL, BECAUSE EXHAUST PIPES RUN THROUGH THERE. NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE TO ME. I'VE CALLED CORPORATE PLENTY OF TIMES THROUGH OUT THE YEARS AND THEY TEND TO HELP AT TIMES. BUT THIS TIME I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A LEMON PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO?

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM BMW (RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-071) A YEAR AGO. THE RECALL NOTICE INFORMS ME THAT THE AIRBAG CAN RUPTURE IN AN ACCIDENT AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS TO THE DRIVER (MYSELF) AND OTHER PASSENGERS. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE THAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSES AND RESOLVED BY BMW. THE RECALL NOTICE ADVISES ME THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL AND THAT BMW WILL ADVISE ME WHEN THERE ARE. SINCE IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE THIS NOTICE, THIS IS NOW REACHING AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR RESOLUTION ON A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS. I WOULD LIKE BMW TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER BMW VEHICLE OR LIKE MODEL UNTIL THEY CORRECT AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
