Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Loud rattle from rear suspension, sounded like loose shock tower. Took to dealer, both rear suspension springs were broken. I avoid all road hazards and do not 'beat' my cars. Bmw service advisor had a broken spring on her desk to explain the issue. It happens that often. Repair cost me $987.38. I call manufacturer defect.”
