Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After 3 months of being overcharged $5000 for an $800 repair I confronted Bmw alexandria with the documentation of being over charged for a $815 repair that fixed a continuous problem they charged my more than $5000 in repairs which didn't fix the problem. When I contacted Bmw headquarters, eventually an $800 credit was extended, but it in no way compared to the erroneous overcharge for unneeded repairs by your dealership. …”
NHTSA complaint #11052144, filed 2017-12, 54,000 miles“Takata recall, whenever I drive my car for more than 30min it overheats and completely shuts off. The steering wheel locks like it runs out of gas and I can't start the car for at least 20 30 minutes. Thought it was the fuel pump replaced that and 3months later the problem comes back and now I can't run the A/C without it shutting off randomly. I've had this happen on very busy roads blocking traffic because I couldn't do anything. I took my car to Bmw dealership and the parts still aren't made is what they said. I want this problem fixed as soon as possible please.”
NHTSA complaint #11114129, filed 2018-07, 115,600 miles“2 recalls needed: 17v-676: blower motor wiring and 17v-683: pcv valve heater. Got a letter from Bmw saying these recalls are not ready but my car has a really bad burning smell from the air vents and need it fixed as soon as possible.”
NHTSA complaint #11056569, filed 2017-12, 60,000 miles“The roof is leaking at the point where the top attached to the windshield on both sides. After it rains or car washed the water will leak out and fall between the seat and the door. I've taken it back to the dealer who says the drain gets clogged but it's be okay for a month or so and the problem returns. This happens when the car is in motion, you can press on the breaks and the water will drain and the same goes for stepping on the gas.”
