2000 BMW 328IC body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was getting a tune up for my car when my mechanic notice a crack with a hole on my rear driverside. Rear driver's side sub frame/ diff. Mounts was torn. Many people have the same issues and have made complaints to bmw manufactures but no responsible actions have been taken by bmw. This is a clear danger to the consumer while operating their vehicle not knowing that there car can been torn apart from underneath. Please help myself and many other innocent victims of this defect on their car so that it can prevent accidents and injuries from accruing.
Sub frame had a crack. As a result, when accelerating and decelerating a loud grinding noise was produced.
My rear subframe totally seperated from my vechicle costing 1600 to fix. I was not in an accident, it broke on its own. Bmw informed me that this is "normal wear and tear," but I think its a recall issue. There are a number of people with these problems. Also my moonroof bent the tracks, and now needs total replacement. Bmw also has a number of complaints regarding window regulators.
