Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I own a 1999 Bmw z3 roadster, purchased in nov 1998. Recently, the front and rear seat have begun to slip fore and aft, as well as rock side-side . Both seats are motorized. I have had the seats examined by my mechanic who tells me the worm gear/cradle assemblies for both seats are excessively worn and that to repair the problem will require replacement of both seat assemblies. Interestingly, my mechanic tells me every z3 they have seen has developed the same problem. This statement was confirmed by the Bmw dealer, although not in so many words. …”
