“Passenger turn signal bulb was thought to be out. Brought to local Bmw dealer and had them tell me I need a whole headlight since the turn signal burned inside.”
NHTSA complaint #10557217, filed 2013-12, 48,500 miles“My 2007 Bmw 328XI completely powered down while I was driving. I was forced to coast into a side lane on a busy road during the first occurrence. Since this first incident my car has been having this same exact issue - recently, much more frequently. I feel as if this is an incredibly dangerous issue since this has happened while I have been driving on incredibly busy streets and I could have easily gotten into some form of an accident.”
