TAKATA RECALL THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ON MY CAR WERE RECALLED IN FEB 2016. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL ON A "NATIONAL BACKORDER." THIS HAS ALMOST BEEN 2 YEARS WITHOUT A RESOLUTION - THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

The vehicle's ignition coil and spark plugs have had to be replaced several times. Car lost power while driving. Stalled engine at red lights and green. The PCV Valve Heater is causing the ignition coil and spark plugs to malfunction, leading to expensive repairs.

My car has been effected by the PCV recall since march 2022. Smoking profusely and smelling like burning electronics. This happened while my family and I were in the car. This recall has occurred on numerous BMW's with more than 917,000 needing to be recalled for it. This defective PCV can cause a fire meaning the vehicle is completely unsafe for me and my family to drive. This is the THIRD time for this recall. I am unable drive my car for safety reasons because of this recall and I have not had a vehicle for 2 months now. I called Crevier BMW and they told me, as of 6/21/22, that a fix will not be available for several months. This is unacceptable. BMW is not solving this recall in a timely manner and it has caused major issues with my life and going to work.

WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE TRUNK/BOOT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING NUMEROUS ELECTRONIC FAULTS, ERROR CODES AND STATES PER BMW THIS ISSUE SIGNIFICANT. MANY ISSUES LIKE THE ONES I'VE DESCRIBED WERE RECALLED TO A DEGREE. NOW, THEIR 'FIXES' ARE FAILING AND MORE AND MORE ISSUE EMERGE WITH THE BMW E8X FRAME. I WAS TOLD PER BMW THAT THESE RECALLS REMEDY THE MISTAKE; THEREFORE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THE RECALL COVERED I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THESE ISSUES CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. MOST OFTEN WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT ON PARTICULARLY RAINY DAYS IT CAN BE ANY TIME AND ANYWHERE.

ON THE CONVERTIBLE MODEL THERE IS A REAR BRAKE LIGHT BAR LOCATED ON THE TRUNK DECK. THIS LIGHT BAR HAS FALLEN OFF MY VEHICLE 4 TIMES IN 43000 MILES. IT IS NOT A VERY EFFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT IF IT KEEPS FALLING OFF. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE.

MY CAR HEADLIGHTS AND ALL INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE CAR. I NEED HELP BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG AND HOW TO GET IT FIXED. I DO KNOW THAT A RECALL ON ELECTRIC SYSTEMS HAPPENED IN OCTOBER BUT MY CAR WAS NEVER FIXED. I LIVE IN LAUREL MS. MY TWO FRONT WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING THE SAME TIME THAT ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT.

LED RUNNING LIGHTS IN PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHTS HAVE FAILED. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWS THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT HOUSES THE LED TUBE LIGHTS HAS A MALFUNCTION DUE TO POORLY SOLDERED CIRCUIT BOARD. LEFT TAIL LIGHTS RUNNING LIGHT FUNCTION FAILS COMPLETELY (BLINKER, AND BRAKES ARE STILL RETAINED). LED TUBES DO NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL MAKING THE CAR LESS VISIBLE AT NIGHT.
