Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I have had several issues with this recall, I only had the car for 1.5 years and this is the third recall! My current main concern is there is a burning gas like oil odor in my car. I received a recall notice saying remedy is unavailable! This is unacceptable my life and my children life is in danger. Bmw should provide an immediate resolution!! When I start the car I smell burning smell and sometimes see smoke come from hood of car. I took my car to bmw 2 months ago for service and was told all was well with my car. Two other recalls were corrected however, I still have the same gas odor which was due to another recall dealing with the fuel tank. This is a serious safety hazard driving this car, and its an insult for bmw to send a letter stating the issue but state there is no remedy when the recall consequences can cause a fire! And you telling me there is no immediate remedy!! Please investigate this, I will also be contacting bmw customer relations in regards to this matter.
Dashboard message malfunction on airbags. Also too much smoke on the back of the car
