2000 Bmw 328i Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL TO AVOID BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 184,000.

I RECIEVED A NOTICE ABOUT THIS RECALL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND HAD IT CHECKED AT BMW SANTA MARIA (CA). TYHEY SAID THEY WO0ULD ORDER THE PARTS AND CALL WHEN THEY CAME IN. HEARING NOTHING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME I WAS TOLD BMW WASN'T WILLING TO DO THE REPLACEMENT AT THAT TIME. THAT THE BELIEVED MY CAR WAS NOT AT RISK. WHEN I RECIECED A 2ND NOTICE I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. I ASKED TO SHOW ME PROOF OF THIS AND THEY HAVE NOT. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

CAR WAS MAKING UNHEALTHY NOISES WHILE BEING DRIVEN AND ALSO WHEN GETTING ON AND OFF THE THE VEHICLE. NOISES WERE COMING FROM THE REAR AND MOSTLY UNDERNEATH, AS TIME GOES BY THE NOISES WERE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE SUB-FRAME COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF FROM THE MAIN FRAME OF THE CAR. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE PROBLEM CAN OR MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, EVEN DEATH.

THERES A PROBLEM WITH THE GM5 MODULE INSIDE BMW'S THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED MY CURRENTLY ISN'T WORKING AND NONE OF MY DOORS WILL OPEN WHICH I CONSIDER A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. BMW NEEDS TO AKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE WITH THEIR CARS.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. EVIDENCE OF MOISTURE WAS DISCOVERED AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION BY A CERTIFIED BMW TECHNICIAN. THIS IS INLINE WILL THE CURRENT RECALL HOWEVER I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY BMW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL AND THE LAW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE FAULTY PARTS OR INSTALLATION OF THE AIR BAGS. *TR
