WHEELS
MY PIRELLI RUN FLAT TIES ONLY LASTED LESS THAN 8,000 MILES. THE FRONT TIRES ARE BALD! THE REAR TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES LEFT. UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR, BUT ONLY WITH THE TIRES. I COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE ON THIS WEBSITE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIRES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JUNE OF 2019. I RECEIVED A CARFAX REPORT BEFORE THE PURCHASE. THE CAR WAS VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. I WAS PLEASED WITH TH CAR UNTIL IT STARTED SMOKING EVERY TIME THE ENGINE GOT WARM. I HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL ALMOST EVERY TWO TO THREE DAYS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED, FOR TRAFFIC , RED LIGHT OR STARTED FROM A STOP POSITION BLUE SMOKE WOULD COME FROM EXHAUST AND THERE IS A HORRIBLE SMELL OF BURNT OIL AND ANTIFREEZE. MY CAR PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST UNTIL WHITE SMOKE STEAM WOULD COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EVERY TIME I DROV E SHORT DISTANCES I WOULD HAVE TO ADD ENGINE COOLANT. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I HAD TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGED AND A CHECKUP AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN APRIL,(THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND SMELLING LIKE ENGINE COOLANT. I WAS INFORMED THEN THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN LAWSUIT AGAINST BMW FOR NOT ADVISING THE OWNERS OF CERTAIN MODELS AND ENGINES WOULD HAVE THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IF I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR IN BEFORE FEB. 2020, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE BENEFITS ENTITLED TO OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BRING MY CAR IN, TIME HAD EXPIRED. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR WHICH PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED FOR AND WERE LATER ADDED TO MY VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE LAWSUIT RELATING TO THE ENGINE PROBLEMS BY THE SELLING SHEA USED CARS, FORMALLY PATSY LOU, MEGA LOT OR GRAND BLANC MOTORSPORTS (BMW DEALERSHIP) THAT INFORMED IN APRIL ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED REGARDING MY CAR I WOULD RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY. NOW TO PROPERLY FIX MY CAR I NEED $15,227.38 . I AM OF COURSE NOW PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T ENJOY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUED. ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR DOORS ARE LOCKED AND CAN'T BE OPENED AT ALL! IN THE PAST, I'VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR AND COULDN'T GET OUT UNLESS I STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, ROLL DOWN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AND STICK THE KEY IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND MANUALLY TURN IT TO UNLOCK IT. NOW MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. NONE OF THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD SON THAT RIDES WITH ME IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS FOR GOOD. THEY'RE ARE POTENTIAL DEATH TRAPS!

TOOK IN FOR REPAIR FOR WATER GETTING INTO CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER. TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM OR WHERE ANY WATER WAS GETTING INTO CAR. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, TOLD THAT THEY CLEANED WATER LINES ETC. SO, SHOULD BE OK. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING IT HOME & ONCE A GOOD RAIN CAME, IT GOT WET INSIDE THE CABIN/CAR AGAIN! THEY HAD THE CAR, WORKED ON IT ETC. HOWEVER, WHEN IT WAS PICKED UP AGAIN, TOLD THAT THE DASH SCREEN WAS DAMAGED. BUT RATHER THAN BLAME IT ON THE WATER GETTING INTO THE CAR ETC.; THEY BLAMED IT ON SOMETHING ELSE WHICH COST AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE TO REPAIR.

MY 2007 BMW LI JUST STARTED THROWING ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A MAJOR ABRUPT STOP JERKING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION FAULT ERROR CAME ON AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. IT DID THIS ONE MORE TIME BEFORE REACHING HOME. THEN THE FOLLOWING DAY ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT JUMPED BACK INTO PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AS I HAD READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BMW'S WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAVE SINCE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF OTHER BMW SAME YEAR AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER JUST SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER A RECALL AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CARS AGE ISN'T WORTH THE VALUE OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION SO I HAVE THE CAR PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND CANNOT DRIVE IT. BMW NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
