2000: “The car went into the shop for a broken water pump. The shop noticed that the subframe and floor pan were broken and the subframe was completely ripped from the car. The repair estimate is $5,300. Bmw na has been terrible to deal with and told us we are on our own and that our VIN # was not part of the recall. After 5 weeks of escalating the matter within Bmw na, they have offered us $2,000 towards the cost of repair. …”
