I was driving on a highway accelerating to merge to left lane when suddenly my charge pipe exploded and my vehicle lost almost all power. The sudden power loss put me in extreme danger as I tried to pull back over to the nearest exit with traffic zooming past me. After doing some research it became apparent that this is a long known issue. In fact bmw has redesigned the charge pipe with a new, more robust version but no recall has been issued to date and I'm stuck with over a thousand dollars of repairs as the pipe did additional damage to adjacent components. The BMW dealer is more than happy to write me up large repair bills and when I asked them why my car with 17.3K miles is experiencing such catastrophic failure am I being asked to pay for replacing an obvious manufacturing defect... Their answer is "I dunno I'm not in charge of such things - now give us money". What can you do about this? This is a widely known and widely reported issue. Why haven't the federal safety agency done anything about it?

For the last two years in every snowstorm, this has become a problem. The headlights become built up with snowpack and will not melt due to the efficiency of the LED bulbs not producing enough heat. I've tried using the washer fluid sprayers every few minutes to stop build up, but all it does is keep the turn signal area clean, tested multiple different washer fluids as extreme as I can find, even mixing my own washer fluid up made of 50% methanol and 50% isopropyl alcohol. There is no fix for this problem, it is not user error, and it's not a one-time thing, it happens every snow storm involving driving over 25 MPH. I've tried addressing it with my local dealer and they told me to reach out to bmw USA, which I've tried with no return phone call. Hopefully bringing this to the attention of our department will help me resolve this problem, as it's simply not safe.
