Example complaints

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

“Hello, I wanted to bring to attention the failing footwell modules in e9x generation bmws. The modules have a high failure rate and when they become inoperable you lose your headlights, turn signals, locking and unlocking doors, power window control and the ability to move your mirrors. It is a serious safety concern that Bmw has hidden from its customers as it is a known extended warranty but there is no recall for such an important component. I recently had my vehicle in to have it replaced and was declined as it had not failed enough. …”
