Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On a 2002 Bmw 1150rt there is a gasoline leak which drips directly on to the catalytic converter. It only leaks on the first start of the day. If run for a minute or two, shut off, and restarted, the problem goes away(?). After three contacts with the dealers (two of them) they have finally said they are aware of a problem with this model and it can be easily fixed. Considering the potential for fire or even an explosion, I would think they would want to advise customers of this problem. Also, their dealers.”
