ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DASH INDICATED LEFT TAILLIGHT WAS OUT WHEN IT WASN'T, THIS WAS RANDOM ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE DASH PANEL INDICATOR LIGHT STAYED ON. AS I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY I NOTICED THE SMELL OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE TRUNK. I STOPPED, AND NOTICED THE MELTED WIRES FROM THE TAIL LIGHT HARNESS. AS I LOOKED AT THEM I COULD SEE THEM SPARKING WHEN CERTAIN MOVEMENTS OCCURRED., VERY DANGEROUSLY AND ERRATIC. BOTH MALE AND FEMALE SIDES MELTED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IMPEDES THE ABILITY TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS WHEN TURNING OR STOPPING. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION BUT THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS AN IMPORTANT ENOUGH ISSUE TO REPLACE IT AS PART OF A RECALL OR SERVICE RECOVERY.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS TOLD BY BMW NORTH AMERICA THAT THE ONLY REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS AN INTERIM REMEDY OF REPLACING WITH THE SAME AIRBAG, BUT A NEW ONE. DOES THE NHTSA STAND BEHIND THIS INTERIM REMEDY AS A SOLUTION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD THIS AIRBAG BY TAKATA REPRESENTS? I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR NOW OUT OF FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND HAVE TRIED TO SELL IT BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WITH NO LUCK. THEY DON'T WANT IT EITHER. DO I HAVE ANY LEGAL RECOURSE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR LOSS OF USE AND/OR INABILITY TO RESALE THE AUTO??
