Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I bought a used 2001 Bmw 330CI 2dr coupe on the date of may 5th 2017. I had this vehicle for a very short amount of time approximately 7 weeks time. The takata air bag was present in this model, on top of that the well known overheating issue came my way. My model would overheat at the point where the auxiliary electrical fan would not kick in to avoid overheating. Electrical stability was at lost due to these present issues. Oddly enough the fan would actually run in reverse polarity pushing air out of the engine when it should be pulling the air in. …”
