SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS ARRIVING TO PARK MY BMW I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO PUT IT INTO PARK BUT THE BRAKES FAILED, IN RESULT THE CAR DROVE THREW THE BUILDING. WHEN THE REAR WHEELS REACHED THE CURBSIDE/SIDEWALK, IT STOPPED THE CAR, CAUSING THE BUILDING TO GET DAMAGE. AND I GOT A TICKET FOR MALFUNCTION OF BRAKE BUT IT IS NOT MY FAULT FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF THE BRAKES BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO FROM A CARMAX DEALER. AND AT THAT TIME THE MILEAGE WAS 46185. WHEN I WAS CHECKING ONLINE, AND THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THE BRAKES IN BMW. IN ONE ARTICLE IT STATED QUOTE:"A CHECK VALVE OF THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP MAY LEAK A SMALL AMOUNT OF LUBRICATING OIL.? IT CONTINUED, ?OVER TIME THIS COULD RESULT IN THE CONTAMINATION OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER. IF THIS OCCURRED, THE POWER-ASSIST BRAKING COULD BE AFFECTED.? END QUOTE. *TR

JUST HAD TO PAID OVER $900 DOLLARS TO HAVE MY FRONTS PASSENGER AIR BAG SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT REPLACED. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALLED ISSUED FOR THESE ITEM ON NOVEMBER 2013 RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-564. I WAS TOLD BY BMW OF DALLAS THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I FIND IT A AN ODD COINCIDENT THAT MY VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND BMW TECHNICIANS DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY SENSOR MAT BUT I'M TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DATE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE DATES THE FAULTY MAT WAS USED. I THINK BMW SHOULD LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY THAT MORE VIN NUMBERS MIGHT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY A FAULTY MAT AND MORE VIN NUMBERS SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY 2007 750I BMW IN 11/2013. SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT, I STARTED HAVING BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUES. THE BRAKE PAD BECOMES HARD TO PRESS AND I HAVE ACTUALLY ROLLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BMW OF DALLAS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER WAS CONTAMINATED BUT MY VEHICLES BRAKE BOOSTER WAS "CHECKED OUT" (NOT REPAIRED) IN 2011 AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM "THEN" SO BMW IS NOT GOING TO REPAIR THE RECALL NOW. I WAS TOLD IF I WANTED THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPAIRED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND BMW IS NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IN 2011 WHEN IT WAS "CHECKED OUT" IT WAS FINE. I FEEL THAT BMW KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR KILL MYSELF THEY SHOULD HONOR THE RECALL AND ?REPAIR? MY VEHICLES BRAKE BOOSTER FREE OF CHARGE. GM IS HONORING RECALLS AFTER ISSUES CAUSED DEATHS?..IS BMW WAITING FOR DEATHS TO HONOR THEIR RECALL??? THAT?S NOT GOOD, NOT GOOD AT ALL! *TR

MY CAR HAS HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALER WOULD JUST RESET THE LIGHT AS THE CAR WAS STILL IN WARRANTY, ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS A SHORT AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THE DETECTION MAT. THIS ISSUE WAS THERE ON 2006 AND 2007, 750I MODELS AND THERE WAS A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V564000. NOW THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY THEM $165 TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND $1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM ELSE RISK THE AIRBAGS NOT GETTING DEPLOYED IN EVENT OF CRASH. I AM SURE THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED IN WARRANTY BUT WAS NOT ON PURPOSE. THIS ISSUE IS WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR AND NHTSA SHOULD EVALUATE THIS MODEL FOR THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE MUCH OLDER CARS WHICH NEVER GET THIS TYPE OF ISSUE EVER AND WHEREAS MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON EVERY 2 MONTHS AND THEY KEPT RESETTING THE SENSOR. *TR

I STARTED GETTING AN ERROR ON MY I-DRIVE ABOUT A MONTH AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG/RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT BMW CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS FORCED TO PAY USING MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY $260 OUT OF POCKET AFTER DEDUCTIBLE AND EXTRA CHARGES BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY DID NOT WANT TO PAY THE HIGH HOURLY LABOR RATE OF THE DEALER. SO I HAD TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE NHTSA SITE & THEY SAID THAT UNLESS BMW HAS IT IN THE SYSTEM SHOWING THAT IT AFFECTS MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, IT IS NOT VALID... *TR

I HAD MY CAR TO THE HUNTERDON BMW DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR MY CAR REFUSING TO LEAVE NEUTRAL. THEIR FACTORY BMW ENGINEERS CHECKED THE CAR TWICE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, THE MECHANICS COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST KEPT REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTERS TILL IT RAN. I FINALLY GAVE UP SINCE BMW REFUSED TO HELP ME. I TRADED THE CAR IN ON 4/1/13 BECAUSE I FEARED IT WOULD STOP RUNNING AGAIN, AND BOUGHT A CADILLAC. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS I RECEIVED PEANUTS FOR MY CAR BECAUSE OF IT HISTORY, NO DEALERS WANTED IT, THEY KNEW IT WAS A LEMON. SO BMW SOLD ME A LEMON AND I ENDED UP WITH A WORTHLESS CAR, AND A YEAR LATER THEY ADMIT IT WAS A PROBLEM. THEY KNEW ALL ALONG BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM, AND IGNORED IT. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON WEB PAGES COMPLAINING, AND ALL OF THEM WERE IGNORED BY BMW. *TR
