ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A FEW MONTHS AGO THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DISPLAY "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" ON THE SCREEN WHILE SHAKING WITH A HORRIBLE ODOR OF FUEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD ALL OF THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A $100K+ VEHICLE BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER BATTLING WITH THE DEALER I WAS TOLD BMW HAS AGREED TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I WENT TO PICKUP THE CAR I WAS GIVEN AN INVOICE FOR ALMOST $500 FOR A DEDUCTIBLE! FAST FORWARD TO 06/06/2018, DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND AT A BUSY INTERSECTION I STARTED TO SMELL FUEL AGAIN AND I GOT A "FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN AND THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NOW THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN IN TANK FUEL PUMP REPLACED! NOT A FEW MONTHS AFTER HAVING ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS REPAIRED. THE COST OF REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP OVER $1900 BUT WITH A DISCOUNT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1550.00 (WHO KNOWS WHAT THE COST WILL BE WHEN I GO TO PICK IT UP). AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE IS UNDER A RECALL FROM BMW FOR ALL THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS AND SYMPTOMS I'M HAVING WITH THE FUEL PUMP. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM THAT MY VIN IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY. THIS IS A LOW MILLAGE CAR THAT IS WELL MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES. I THINK ITS TIME BMW EXPANDED THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THEIR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING HAS CREATED BEFORE THEIR NEGLEGANCE COSTS SOMEONE THEIR LIFE WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY OR A BUSY INTERSECTION. IT'S TIME YOU DID THE RIGHT THING BMW NORTH AMERICA. I HAVE CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY AND WE WILL BE SENDING NOTICES TO OTHER BMW OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
PRIOR TO 4/3/2018 ON APPROXIMATELY 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND IDLED ROUGH. ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED AND RAN SMOOTH. ON 4/3/2018 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND IN TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL ENGINE POWER WAS LOST (NO POWER STEERING, NO FORWARD MOTION) BUT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WERE OK. TOWED CAR TO BMW DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND (2) HIGH PRESSURE AND (1) LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURES WHICH WERE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. NO OTHER ISSUES WERE DISCOVERED THROUGH THE INSPECTION AND REPAIRS. ON 5/22/2018 (PM) UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IT RAN ROUGH. WE TRIED TO STOP AND RESTART BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ON 5/23/18 (AM) THE VEHICLE STARTED PROPERLY AND WAS TAKEN INTO TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ON EACH OCCASION NOTED ABOVE THE DISPLAY SCREEN PROMPTS WITH THE DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION MESSAGE, BUT CHECKING THE ON-BOARD VEHICLE STATUS ALL SYSTEMS ARE "OK". REDUCED POWER AND/OR COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER IN A CRITICAL SITUATION COULD PROVE TO BE DISASTROUS. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND POTENTIAL RISK THE FACTORY SHOULD ELEVATE THIS COMPLAINT TO A RECALL STATUS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT (IF THAT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED).

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING AN INTERMITTENT VIBRATION THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND CAN BE FELT IN BOTH THE DRIVER, PASSENGER SEAT AND CENTER CONSOLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. GENERAL MANAGER AS WELL AS SHOP FOREMAN DROVE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM ABNORMAL VIBRATION AND SCHEDULED SERVICE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT DIAGNOSING PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIBRATION IS NORMAL WITH THIS MODEL. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS WRONG WITH THAT ANSWER, 1) IF THIS IS A NORMAL VIBRATION, THEN WHY ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE? AND 2) SINCE THIS IS NOT A NORMAL VIBRATION, BEING THAT IT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BE FELT INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, WHAT OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE DRIVELINE ARE BEING AFFECTED BY THIS VIBRATION AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL OVER TIME TO HAVE CATESTROPHIC FAILURE? THE VEHICLE IS UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY, SO ONE WOULD THINK THAT EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE WOULD BE EXPLORED BEFORE SETTLING ON ,"THESE VEHICLES JUST VIBRATE". WHERE IS THE SAFETY RECALL TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? OR IS THIS SIMPLY A CASE OF NOT WANTING TO DO THE WARRANTY WORK? EITHER WAY, THE POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER EXIST! *JS

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL START SHAKING WITH IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE MAIN SCREEN DISPLAYS "DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION: DRIVE MODERATELY. MAXIMUM DRIVETRAIN OUTPUT NOT AVAILABLE. CONSULT SERVICE CENTER" DURING THE MALFUNCTION THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT SHAKING, LOSES NEARLY MOST POWER AND THE CAR MUST COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP ANDTHE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF. BMW DOES NOT HAVE A FIX TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS THEY REPLACE DIFFERENT PARTS. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED SINCE I PURCASED THE CAR AND IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES PRESENT WITH A VIBRATION OR "JUDDER" (AS DESCRIBED BY BMW) ON APPLICATION AT ALL SPEEDS. THE VIBRATION INCREASES AT HIGHER SPEEDS - THUS THE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS WAS A RESULT OF ROTOR WARPING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS (ALL 4 ROTORS AND PADS???? - THIS IS INCREDULOUS). I CONTACTED BMW USA AND THEY DECLINED TO RECTIFY THE CONDITION SO IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DRIVING CONDITION. I HAVE BORNE THE COST OR REPLACING THE ROTORS AND BRAKES AFTER ONLY 35,000 MILES. MY PREVIOUS BMW 6 SERIES WAS PERFECT FOR 72,000 MILES ON ONE SET OF BRAKES. THIS REPRESENTS A MANUFACTURING FAILURE AS IT IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR ALL 4 ROTORS TO WARP AND FAIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE, AND IT IS DANGEROUS....EXAMPLE IS WHEN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN FOR EXAMPLE, AND I WOULD ACCELERATE TO NAVIGATE THE INTERSECTION THE GEAR WOULD JUMP INTO NEUTRAL FOR NO REASON, AND LEAVE ME STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION, ANY ONCOMING VEHICLE COULD HAVE EASILY STRUCK ME, UPON NOTIFYING BMW OF THIS SITUATION THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS EITHER A SENSOR OR RELAY ISSUE. IT WAS CORRECTED FOR A WHILE....THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN FAILED AND THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE VEHICLE HAD 85,000 MILES....AND WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED AT A BMW DEALERSHIP AND WAS NEVER ABUSED IN ANY WAY. BMW HAS ALSO HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE ENGINES ON THESE MODELS AS I HAVE

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, ACCELERATING, 'DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION' LIGHT POPS ON, VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER, RUNS ROUGH, AND STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING TWICE, AND VEHICLE BECOMES INSTANTLY DISABLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL OTHER 2012 ' 2015 BMW 6-SERIES COUPE/CONVERTIBLE OWNERS AS WELL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION, CONSIDERING IT HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING, OR DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAR BECOMES DISABLED WITH NO POWER TO AVOID POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. PRIVATE GARAGE WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR, AND BMW HAS NOT CONSIDERED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM.

ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2017, AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30 PM, I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM HOME WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I WAS ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY, IN A 55 MPH ZONE (E. COLONIAL HWY, GOING FROM LEESBURG TO HAMILTON). I LOOKED AROUND ME, INSIDE THE CAR, AND SAW NOTHING THAT WOULD PRODUCE THAT KIND OF SMELL. I WONDERED IF I WAS SMELLING SOMETHING OUTSIDE. THEN, WITHIN SECONDS OF THAT THOUGHT, I STARTED TO SEE SMOKE RISING, ORIGINATING FROM UNDER MY LEFT ELBOW. I WAS STILL DRIVING, AND COULD NOT SEE THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE. BUT, THE SMELL OF BURNING AND THE STREAM OF SMOKE CONTINUED TO GROW STRONGER. AT THIS POINT, I WAS APPROXIMATELY A MILE FROM MY HOME AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT (THE HARMONY PARK AND RIDE LOT). I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SAW A BURN MARK IN THE LOWER THIRD OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK, IN THE PANEL OF THE SEAT NEAREST TO THE WINDOW. THE MARK WAS SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THE BURN MARK A CIGARETTE MIGHT MAKE. INSIDE THE BURN MARK, I COULD SEE A SMALL, RED, EMBER-LIKE LIGHT GLOWING. I THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I COULD NO LONGER SEE THE EMBER-LIKE LIGHT, AND EVENTUALLY, THE SMOKE STOPPED. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFAX FOR GUIDANCE. THEY SUGGESTED I HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE. THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN THAT I SPOKE WITH HADN'T HANDLED OR HEARD OF A SITUATION LIKE THIS, HE SUSPECTED THE LUMBAR HEATING PAD IN THE SEAT BACK HAD MALFUNCTIONED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I SMELLED SOMETHING FUNNY. A MINUTE LATER I FELT AN EXTREMELY HOT SENSATION ON MY LEFT LEG. I REACHED DOWN AND THE SEAT WAS SO HOT THAT IT BURNT MY HAND FROM THE BRIEF CONTACT. I PULLED OVER TO FIND THAT THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT HAD BURNT A HOLE IN THE LEATHER SEAT AS WELL AS BURNT A HOLE IN MY WOOL COAT. IRONICALLY, THIS OCCURRED IN MY LAST BMW AS WELL, A 2004 3-SERIES, JUST TO A LESSER EXTENT. I DID NOT RECEIVE BURNS FROM THAT INCIDENT, IT JUST MELTED THE LEFT SIDE OF MY SEAT. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
PASSENGER SEATBELT/AIRBAG WARNING AS FOLLOWS: "PASS. RESTRAINT SYSTEM - FAULT ON PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM AFFECTING AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER OR BELT-FORCE LIMITER. CONTINUE TO WEAR THE SAFETY BELT." NOTE: THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH A MECHANIC WHO HAS CONFIRMED THIS IS THE "PASSENGER SEAT MAT SENSOR." I CALLED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA TODAY TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND CHECK FOR RECALLS. I WAS INFORMED I SHOULD GO TO A BMW DEALERSHIP TO GET A "FORMAL DIAGNOSIS FROM THE DEALER" AND TO "CONFIRM IF THE ISSUE COULD'VE BEEN INCLUDED IN PRIOR RECALL." NOTE: I SEARCHED THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE AND FOUND THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE WAS UNDER "INVESTIGATION" FROM JAN. 4, 2008 TO DEC. 31, 2008. THE INVESTIGATION SUBJECT IS "BMW AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATION". THE SUMMARY STATES THAT IT WAS FOR BMW MODELS FROM 2004 TO 2006 AND STATES THE 2006 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE X3 SERIES AND 3-SERIES WITH SPORT SEATS. IT FURTHER STATES "BMW WILL EXTEND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT TO 10-YEAR/UNLIMITED MILEAGE ON APPROXIMATELY 120,000 REMAINING MY04-06 SUBJECT VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 11/30/05." THEREFORE, I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED BASED ON THE LATER STATEMENT. MY INCIDENT FIRST OCCURRED ON THANKSGIVING DAY, NOV. 24, 2016. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS NOT TURNED OFF SINCE THEN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE MECHANIC FOR A LARGE UNRELATED TO THIS SENSOR MAT ISSUE. I EXPECT I WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK IN 1-2 WEEKS, AT WHICH TIME I WILL TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE BMW'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE MY MOM WAS TRYING TO PUT ON HER SEATBELT WHILE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ON THANKSGIVING DAY. THE WARNING HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS SITTING THERE. *TR

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2010 650I BMW THE RECALL NUMBER IS 10V4466000 FOR THE BRAKE VACUMM PUMP LEAKING OIL AND UPON SPEAKING WITH SOMEONE AT THE BMW 800 NUMBER THEY INDICATED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC. MY ARGUMENT AGAINST THIS ISSUE IS THAT IF IT WAS A VIN SPECIFIC ISSUE BUT OTHER VEHICLES IN THAT SAME YEAR ARE AFFECTED THEN WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE AN ISSUE THAT IS ACCEPTED BY THE DEALERSHIP ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE WHICH CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.

ONE WAS FOR A REAR SEAT BELT SEVERAL YEARS AGO (APPROX 2011) AND THE OTHER WAS A DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT THAT HAPPENED IN 2016.
