Example complaints

“My car has spun it's crank hub and the car is only 3 -4 years old most people I know with the same car as mine just different year has had to replace the crank hub as well. It's a common failure on these cars and would like NHTSA to recall this common problem that's been happening since 2015. When the crank hub fails from timing going off countless issues can arise which can cause engine to be replaced which is a very costly repair. It would a piece of mind to have the f80/f82/ f83 recalled it would be a piece of mind for our community. …”

“I took my car in for service on march 10, 2020 for servicing. During the time they had my car, they replaced my front and rear brake pads, completed the inspection, and gave me the car back after a couple days. On april 10, 2020, I took my car into service again as I was having drive train malfunctions constantly. Several weeks of being in the shop, Bmw service technicians found that cooling fluids had leaked from my top mounted intercooler, into the intake manifold and through the intake valves, and directly into the engine of my vehicle. …”

“The BMW OEM intercooler/charge air cooler is a known faulty equipment issue within this generation of cars/engine (S55 Engine, F80, F82, F87 chassis) and I have thousands of people within the community that were affected and willing to attest to this. This issue is a safety risk as having the intercooler leak coolant into the combustion chambers this will be a catastrophically damage the engine. …”

NHTSA complaint #11449103, filed 2022-01

“The vehicle model is known to fail at the crank hub. Bmw refuses to acknowledge and make necessary repairs at no cost. It has been known to happen randomly, even just driving in a parking lot. If this were to happen going at highway speeds, it can potentially lead to devastating consequences not only for the driver and passengers of the Bmw, but as well as traffic surrounding the vehicle.”
