The recall for this car part has been made public for 10 months and there is still not a remedy available. Considering the issue potentially being a fire hazard, I find this unacceptable and alarming. Since being notified of the news, I now have white smoke/steam coming out from the hood at times, which worries me as this is one of the possible effects from the recall. A BMW dealership will not take the car in if there is no resolution to this and it would be an out-of-pocket expense. I would understand all recalls take some time but it has been nearly a year and there have been no updates throughout this process.

The engine coolant pump is affected in my vehicle. There is a current recall issued on my vehicle with no available remedy. The recall was issued back in August, which means it has been 6 months. This is my form of transportation to work and also to school. I have contacted my local dealership and they are not sure when they will get the part in. They want me to pay $195 per hour for a diagnostic first to see if they can expedite the part needed. With this being said they will not offer me a loaner vehicle and says I am responsible for my own form a transportation. I was driving my vehicle on February 11th around 5:45PM when my vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of a roundabout. I yielded oncoming traffic, thankfully I was able to shift over into the grass in time before anyone else entered the roundabout. My check engine light came on and it started to overheat, which I have never had that issue since the recall was issued. It started smoking from under my hood so I let it cool before I attempted to drive it again to return home. The following day I was able to start my vehicle up and I took it to Take 5 to get an oil change and a coolant flush thinking that may be the issue. The mechanic advised me since the coolant they use is standard coolant and I need premium he would not perform it. He ran my codes and the issue that popped up was the current recall on my vehicle. This is the first time I have experienced any issues since the recall has been issued. I am now left with a vehicle that is not able to be driven.

ENGINE COOLANT PUMP: The electrical connector of the engine coolant pump could become damaged. Small drops of liquid from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system could drip down onto the electrical connector of the pump. Safety Risk Over time, this could lead to a short circuit and, in rare cases, a thermal event or a fire. We took it to a car shop and they charged us over $800 fixing something else that was not the issue. We haven’t been able to drive this car for months and it has caused tremendous inconveniences.

Left rear brake and turn lights malfunctioning -issue not fixed after changing light bulbs. Noticed that metal pins in the connector was melted and stuck into the wiring harness. Problem affects brake light and turn signal. Melting of the the metal pin in the connector housing clearly is not a wear and tear situation but a defect in manufacturing that needs to be repaired and corrected by BMW.
the left brake lamp continues to come on after changing the brake lamp and checking sensor - I dont know if the light is out or its another issue the brake lamp has been working fine , the warning is incorrect Also , the added safety features installed in the car and paid 1000's extra for no longer work due 3g phase out , Bmw claimed drivers can use their phones but they will not retro fit the cars to get safety features back , they chose specific vins of this model to re-enable but not all??? The car has no space within drivers sight to mount phones for directions/navigation and any voice activation /handfree usage iis disabled along with crash notificatiions/stolen vehicle recovery . BMW made crashes far more likely in the vehicle and far more vulnerable to be stolen! BMW service dept advised to use a cell phone to get some of the lost services back which is illegal and very dangerous to do so.
On feb 20, 2020, I took my car to bmw dealership because I had a left rear signal and brake malfunction. I was given an estimate of approximately 600.00. Based upon my understanding of this issue, this is a manufacturer issue. The circuit board, connector, and wiring must be replaced. After further research, I found that there have been two recalls for this very same issue, but for older model bmw's. Please reference 13v407000 and 17v6766000. Bmw also issued a service bulletin to fix this issue. Please reference sib63-0611. Also reference 11v‑438 campaign. It is apparent that bmw's are still being produced with the ground wiring issue. If you visit bimmerfest, you will see how many bmw's from 2010- 2014 are still being effected by this issue. If older models were recalled for this issue, newer ones with the same issue should also be recalled, and fixed free of charge. I am currently driving a vehicle with a faulty left rear brake light, and left rear signal light which is a safety hazard. I am requesting that bmw pay for the repairs as this is a manufacturing problem, not operator error or wear and tear. Please reference the complaint filed on 3.3.20 11315965.
