Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Original warranty expired at 50,000 miles so I began taking my vehicle to a licensed mechanic to do scheduled maintenance. While driving over to the mechanic for a brake change I went to stop and lost usage of my brake. This resulted in me merely rearending the back end of the car in front of me. My mechanic replaced rotors and brake pads; and there was still a problem. So he began to look over my car and found that the vacuum boost pump for my bakes was possibly bad. Once opened in that area he found that the bolt holding the sprocket was broken. …”
NHTSA complaint #10295857, filed 2009-12, 75,000 miles“I went in to have a routine oil change and was told to have a brake flush by the dealership. After leaving dealership I started experiencing problems with steering and brakes. They informed me to bring car back in to rectify the issue. As I was driving on the highway the brake system on the vehicle completely failed and the car has now become inoperable. They are refusing to fix it stating that the issue has nothing to do with the oil change and brake flush but would most likely be a persistent valve issues with this car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11043083, filed 2017-11“Brakes go out a lot front and rear on both my bmws , and passengers rear door locks stop working on both my Bmw's 2006 325, and 328I 2007. Windows on both right rear doors work when they want to. I've been telling the Bmw dealer about these things and all they say is what it will cost me to fix. I even told them about the electrical problems on both my cars and they had me pay for it, then later I find out it is a recall. But didn't get money back for me paying to get it fixed. Same thing about the brakes , both my bmws been in the shop more then 30 times or more apiece. Can someone help.”
NHTSA complaint #10544697, filed 2013-09“My 2007 328I has been in the service department a total of 4 times (that I have paperwork on, it might be more). I have had major mechanical problems with the most recent being electrical. My key will not open any of the doors, I have to use the valet key to get inside. Once I get inside the button on the dash that opens and locks the doors was unresponsive as well. When this started the drivers side mirror also became unresponsive and would not adjust, I can't adjust it to see the road and have almost been in 2 accidents. …”
