My car is suffering from recall 19V472000 for my bmw 328i . My car horn dash lights windshield wipers and all my electric functioning in this aspect have continued to go on and off causing me to almost wreck numerous times as well as causing others to wreck into my car. Yet my vin is not included in this recall when I type in my vin. My car type year and model is however. I have another recall just fixed by bmw for the blower motor wiring and one supposedly waiting on a remedy. Bmw you need to vin to this recall list and stop hiding that you screwed so many . We pay for luxury cars for a reason… not so they stall out, catch fire whether on or off, or the entire electric system fails. The problems started around 108k.This had put my family and granddaughter at risk.

Recall for PCV valve (the federal safety agency 17V683) has been outstanding since Oct 2017. I received a letter July 2021 from BMW saying I needed to urgently have this repaired and could lead to a fire. It said parts and remedy are available. Went to BMW dealer 3/8/22 and the dealership is telling me that the system tells them there is no fix available for this recall. (Service agent: Yordano Rios Reyes, and Service center Manager: Mike) I told them I was experiencing an active issue with my car related to the PCV valve (excessive vacuum leading to erratic RPM, loud whistling, and stalls). They said their is nothing they can do, so they are telling me I should drive around with an active safety issue.

The air conditioner would sometimes go on and at other times it wouldn't go off .I was experiencing the same problems with the heater. Shortly after my car began to overheat and stall out.it would hold back until I was in 4th gear, if I even made it that far before dying out. It began to sound like a old vw. L reached out to my local bmw service dept. For repairs. I was told that the problems my vehicle was having,.was not under recall by bmw at that time.
