It’s been a few months with no remedy contacted the dealer and they said there’s nothing they could do right now, but I believe the connectors, causing the part not to work anymore and it’s causing other problems that’s related to this issue. I will have to hire an attorney because there’s no remedy available and it’s causing we’re on my other parts of the car. I believe this is caused other problems with the vehicle I don’t think the coolant pump is working. Is bmw going to fix related problems free of charge?that are caused from them not fixing it fast enough and causing other problems since the coolant pump has failed and bmw hasn’t offered anything or to fix the problems quick enough .

Always get the message: right break light. I have changed the lightbulb several times and the break light fails to work. Sometimes it works and sometimes it stops working. I believe this is common problem based on you tube videos and postings on the internet. How can it be fixed?

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 bmw 328i. The vehicle was taken to crevier bmw (1500 auto mall dr, santa ana, ca 92705, (657) 213-3493) to have an extended warranty repair performed. The dealer discovered that the turbo coolant line was leaking. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,986. *bf consumer had a defective nvdl pressure switch which caused the check engine light to go on.
Drivetrain malfunction light came on stating to drive moderately. Maximum drivetrain output not available. Consult service center. The codes was cda904 no message (status trailer 0x2e4) receiver engine ecu transmitter trailer. 130f20 exhaust camshaft offset angel to crankshaft outside tolerance; 120408 boost pressure control, cut off pressure rise block after paying $180.00 for diagnostic I was told today that I need to replace the timing chain/ guild. Replace oil pump chain module and replace the valve cover. The timing chain guide is broken. This is crazy my car has 88000 miles and is not paid for. The cost to get this repaired is approxmiately $6,000. There is a current class action lawsuit. Bmw knows that this is a problem but refuses to do a recall. The plaintiffs take issue with two specific defects in the engine's chains. The first defect affects the primary chain, also known as the timing chain, which coordinates the action of the crankshaft, camshafts, and cylinder valves. According to the plaintiffs, the plastic guide assembly for the primary chain is made of a defective polycarbonate material that becomes brittle and breaks apart, creating debris that lodges in the crankshaft drive sprockets. The debris can cause the primary chain to skip, letting the camshafts and crankshaft fall out of sync and possibly damaging or destroying the engine. The second defect affects the secondary chain, which connects the oil pump and balance shaft assembly to the crankshaft. The materials in this assembly can't stand up to high-resistance wear, the plaintiffs say. This defect causes the chain to elongate prematurely, slip, and damage the chain sprocket.
Purchased the vehicle in late march. We have already had to go to the repair shop more than 3 occasions. I believe they are using faulty pieces in vehicles. We spent 13k and put down 4k. Now working 2 months the repairs are costing close to 5k in 2 months. I understand buying used vehicles as my first car was used. However I have had no issues in 2 years. I believe this piece was broken and they didn't want to repair the issues with the car based on cost.
Door locking mechanism I starting to fail. At times it is impossible to open a door from the inside because of the door lock actuator when the rest of the car is unlocked. Currently, the only method to unlock it would be from the key or the door unlock button in the center of the vehicle. This could be dangerous in situations where one would need to exit the vehicle but they cannot because the door will not open.
While driving on the fwy. The system in my car anounced for me to stop as it was detecting an error. I pulled aside turn off the engine, waited some time, turned engine back on and car would not start. Called towing services and taken to a mechanic. Per mechanic the motor engine died. Had no car since 12/20/2018. Please assist incident happen on 12/20/2019 near cerritos california. 605 s fwy around 6:30am
The vehicle was going down a hill (straight forward) on a ca city street when the driver shifted from auto to manual gear. Instead of working as expected, the car underwent a sudden acceleration and braking proved ineffective. Through a couple seconds of attempted braking with no response, the car kept on accelerating instead. Finally, after making two turns on the hill, the car spun completely out of control and swerved to the other side of the street where it crashed through five trees and eventually stopped. The driver loss of consciousness and delivered to er. The weather condition was good. The failure mileage was 79,541. Policy report filed.

Rear left brake light and turn signal stopped working. I have checked and found out that the ground wire on the connector has over heated and broken.
I have taken my car to the dealership and asked for this lock issue to be repaired at least 6 times during the past five years. Over the past two years the issue happens more frequently. At times I am in the car without it running, then I go to open the door and I am locked inside. The handle acts like it is going to open but the door does not open. The handle lifts but does not move the lock. I have to use a button on the console or the key fob to unlock all the doors electronically. I find this not safe because if the automobile does not have electric supply the drivers door needs to be able to open. This concerns me if there was a accident or urgent need. I had some other suspension issues that I reported. You could hear a loud sound and I was told for a over year it was not a issue. Finally my husband was going to come to the dealership and they said they found the problem did over $6,000 in warranty repair on a faulty boot part before the warranty expired. I had the problem for a long time! Bmw diagnostic and service is not what it used to be.
Light cracks, chips, defects inside of headlight housing. Vehicles are not that old and the defect tends to appear on all f30 bmw 3 series models. Could worsen over time and create visibility issues.
