“The car was purchased 02/27/11. We first noticed the rear window defroster was not working the first weekend of oct. 2011. We took the car to valencia Bmw on 10/08/11. The car failed an electrical test and a new top was ordered because the rear window and convertible top are one piece. Car was returned on 10/10/11. The mileage was 10273.on 11/22/11, the top was replaced and car returned on 11/23/11. The mileage was 12168. On 12/01/11, the car was taken to the dealer because the fabric on the new top detached on the freeway on 11/30/11 (terrifying). Repairs were made and car returned same day. …”
