Example complaints

Steering: “After taking my car to a body shop for some work to bed done (new carbon fiber hood installed and carbon fiber rear defuser), the car sat at the shop for 2 weeks before any work began. While sitting there, the battery died. When the shop charged it, the red electric steering lock fault came in the dash and it will not start. I did some online research and found that this is a very common problem with most Bmw 2007 models. …”

NHTSA complaint #10817271, filed 2015-12, 27,000 miles

Air bags: “Car has 50k miles, and suffered premature airbag seat mat sensor failure (same design & manufacturer as other Bmw's which were subject to recall of 200k units over this sensor). Airbag and srs fault lights are on, and airbag is inoperative. Bmw declined to cover replacement, stating the recall doesn't cover this vehicle. …”

NHTSA complaint #10794582, filed 2015-11, 50,000 miles

Fuel system: “Just a few short months after being paid-off and the warranty expiring due to time our pristine M6 with just over 22,000 miles required the replacement of both throttle body actuators. We were informed of this need while the car was in fpr a steering position sensor repair. We had noticed zero performance deficiency prior to this $7000.00 repair but were told by the service manager southbay Bmw of torrance ca that this was absolutely necessary for driver safety and of course not covered by any recall. …”

NHTSA complaint #10816584, filed 2015-12

Body and structure: “This is a 2007 Bmw M6 convertible. The door windows drop 1/2 when the doors are opened and they raise up 1/2 when the doors are closed in order to keep noise down. I live in new york. When the car is damp or wet from rain or snow and the temperature drops below freezing, the windows do not drop when the door is opened. Hence, when you go to close the door, the window hits the roof and doesn't allow the door to fully close. The partially closed door is very dangerous. Only when you warm up the car & then defrost the side windows does the window drop to allow the door to fully close & lock. …”
