2011 BMW 328I lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle windows are inoperable, hazard lights are inoperable, side mirrors are inoperable, turning signals are inoperable. The vehicle is in motion while turning signals are inoperable creating a hazard. If vehicle breaks down hazard warning lights is inoperable creating a potential vehicle collision . Windows unable to roll down in an event of being pulled over. The component or part that is creating this safety issue is the frm module or footwell module of the vehicle.
One day my driver door panel just stopped working I could no longer roll down my front windows and only the back windows go down using the back window controls only. Also my blinkers randomly stopped working and the lighting in my car also does not come on in the dash area and inside mirror. When driving it is a danger because I cannot use a blinker or roll down the front window to signal that I need to make a turn.
Footwell module failed. This is a known issue by bmw. Device controls accessory lighting, central locking system, turn signals, and power windows. Bmw si b01 20 16 released extending warranty on frm to 10 years, 152000 miles. Frm on my vehicle failed at 195,000. Total replacement cost was $1,000
The headlights, blinker lights, dash lights, interior lights, and power to the windows doesn't work. From my research online it is because of the footwell (frm) module going bad. The issue just started once I started the vehicle and nothing worked when it did prior to parking.
I purchased my vehicle and my 3rd top center brake light has never worked. My tires the tread seems low and I should have had new tires on the car when I purchased it. The steering seems more difficult when turning than it should be. Also I didn't receive 2 keys. My owners manual says I should receive 2 keys. I also had to order my owners manual and my car didn't come with it's owners manual.
Purchased a 2011 bmw 328i used it came with extended warranty the first issue I had was in my foot well module I came in from work parked car in drive way woke up the next morning to no headlights turn signals and car would not start I contacted bmw because there was a recall on the foot well module took car in to get everything checked out bmw replaced foot well module said everything was ok drove car home thinking everything was ok parked car woke up the next morning car was completely dead no power so I took battery to get tested and had to replace the battery also the battery terminal cause saftey terminal went off from there I replaced everything that was needed car has power but will not crank had it diagnostics said it was relay replaced all the relays in the car no start same issue had the crank position sensor replaced still no start battery good looked online to see that the frm could cause electrical issues which is clearly the issue but all problems to this point got worse since module was replaced by bmw dealership and diagnostics by them stating everything was ok. Ive literally exhausted my options of buying and replacing parts and the problem persist when I contacted bmw about the recall on the electrical problems with the foot well module instead of them just replacing a module and saying my electrical was ok when it clearly was not
