“After the car is been driven under a snow storm , when the snow is not clear have to drive to wrk 1 hour away , the next day once all snow is clear the car tends to shake very bad , every time the same when u hit 30mph shakes violently like the car is gonna break apart. But once u take it inside the carwssh and wash it tends to go away? I don't understand it? It's not the snow on the tires cuz I clear all that before , I leave the house the next day.”
NHTSA complaint #11065228, filed 2018-01, 64,000 miles“While in traffic driving around 45 miles per hour at 8a on dec 7, 2015 on ga400 my 2011 Bmw X6 hybrid rear glass sparked with fire and shattered. The sparks were followed by a very loud booming noise. The defrost connector exploded apparently in the rear window causing rear glass to shatter. Pictures attached. You can clearly see where the explosion/spark occurred and where the damage started. Car is at dealer now and they have told me it is not covered. Issue is defrost failure. Car is under full factory warranty. The tint mostly held the glass in place. Problem after problems with this car. …”
