Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My temperature light came on and Bmw of catonsville says that my two auxiliary water pumps need replacing. They says the parts are not a recall item, but when I gave them reference number 12v-161 which is a old recall number I was told it doesn't apply to my car! Also, I don't know if their telling me the truth but I've been told that the engine in my truck has valve stem seal problems for this same year. If there telling me the truth, then I fine with making payment for repairs, but if they have an issue with this vehicle I'm truly unsatisfied! Can you look into this matter,please? …”
NHTSA complaint #11030050, filed 2017-09, 77,600 miles“My car pulls hard and shudders when turning left or right or reversing at a very slow speed. Dangerous to drive shops have told me but they are having a hard time finding what issue is. My brother said it feels like the transfer case or all wheel drive not working. Shakes hard at every turn like wheel is dragging. My turbo's have been leaking since the day I got car and Bmw never advised me after I have repeatedly told them my car isnt driving at max potential. Im always told a lot of white steam or smoke coming out of exhaust is normal. …”
