Example complaints

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

“After a couple times using my cup holders in my 2000 Bmw 540 I they broke. They are made of cheap plastic and are very poorly designed. I have checked out other models up to the 2007 year and Bmw has failed to come out with a quality cup holder. Even a better replacement would be helpful! It now costs me $150.00 just in parts to replace them each time they break. I consider my car to have no cup holders and won't allow people to use them because they break so easily. This is a luxury car with a cheap short cut in the options department. Very dissappointing. Shame on Bmw! …”
