PRE-OWNED VEHICLE -TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH IS NOT MECHANICAL...VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE FROM PARK. LOCAL BMW DEALER SAYS NEW TRANSMISSION IS NEEDED. RESEARCH INDICATES IT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS (SOLENOID) WHICH SENDS SHIFT SIGNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION. BMW WILL NOT SAY THIS IS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH ITS PRODUCT AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON ANY ROADWAY AT 40-55 MPH, A SERIES OF FAULT CODES ARE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD [TRANSMISSION FAULT-DRIVE MODERATELY], AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. EFFORTS TO PROVE THAT THIS IS NOT OWNER/CONSUMER RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE INTERNAL NATURE OF THE FAULT(S) ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THE BMW DEALER/COMPANY. THE COST OF COMPANY STATED REPAIRS ($3500-$8000) ARE BEYOND WHAT THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE IS AND FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. THE SUCTION MECHANISM DOES WORK AND THERE IS NO BACKUP SYSTEM TO ENSURE THE DOOR LATCHES. IT IS A MOST SEVERE SAFETY FLAW. THERE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR BMW CARS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL ISSUE AND THE GROSSES OF SAFETY NEGLECT BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY FLAW WHICH IS JUST COMPLETELY ABSURD. GIVEN THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A 2008 VEHICLE.

SUSPENSION
BMW REAR STRUTS LIFE EXPECTANCY BOTH FAILED ONE AT MILEAGE OF 56924 AND ONE AT MILEAGE 66529. BOTH FAILED IN SAME YEAR DURING COLD CONDITIONS. AIRBAGS WERE POORLY CONSTRUCTED CAUSING TOTAL FAILURE. COST COMBINED FOR BOTH REPAIRS $5256.44 PAID BY OWNER. PARTS AT THAT COST SHOULD HAVE LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY OR PRICES SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH LOWER FOR PARTS THAT DO NO LAST MORE THAN 5 YEARS. DOES BMW OFFER REIMBURSEMENT FOR FAULTY AIR BAGS REPLACED AT OWNERS COST? WHAT IS THE FAIL RATE FOR VEHICLES LIKE THE ONE IN SCENARIO? IS IT A SYSTEMIC ISSUE?

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE VACUUM PUMP BOOSTER HAS FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION EVEN AFTER BRAKE BOOSTER SUPPLY LINE WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER, 4, 2010. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE CAR LOSES POWER TO BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL FEELS HARD AND VEHICLE TAKES 20-30 FT LONGER TO BRAKE EVEN IF PUSHING DOWN WITH MAXIMUM FORCE. THIS CAUSED VEHICLE TO TAKE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP, WHICH RESULTED IN CAR NEARLY RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN ISSUE OCCURRED. LUCKILY I SWERVED OFF HIGHWAY UNTO MEDIAN. THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AS BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP IS AFFECTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT BRAKE POWER IS 50% LESS THAN NORMAL, LOW TO NEGLIGIBLE BRAKE POWER MEANS CAR DOES NOT STOP NORMALLY, IT TAKES MORE TIME TO STOP, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH FROM REAR END COLLISIONS, FREAK ACCIDENTS AND EVEN RUNNING INTO PERSONS OR OBJECTS WHEN PARKING.
