Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Driver's side mirror fell of mount. There was no accident or damage to the mirror mount. I have checked Bmw website and found that it is due to poor glue/gluing. This defect can cause accidents due to flying glass, and impair driver's rear view.”
