Example complaints

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

“In 1995 I purchased a Bmw 318ti. I have just learned that there had been three recalls on this Bmw model. I did not receive any of the recall notices. Not one notice from Bmw. The first recall had something to do with the heating and cooling system. The heater has not worked for 8 years and the A/C has problems also. Since learning of these recalls I really do not know what to do about these problems with my car.”
