“My new car check engine light goes on and I have bought it into service appox 5 times. The light goes off and when I get it home it goes on again when I start the car. I thought it was fixed. However it came on again and I am afraid to drive it.”
NHTSA complaint #11301139, filed 2020-01, 200 miles“My grill shutters are faulty and the problem has been persistent and the vehicle is only at 30,000 miles. This is the same part that was issued an extended service contract by BMW for various other models. I believe my model is rare enough to not be included but it should. The existing recall/warranty is “SIB 01 12 19 FRONT GRILLE UPPER/LOWER ACTIVE AIR FLAPS: LTD WTY EXT TO 15 YEARS/150,000 MILES” and I believe mine should be included in this as it is the same engine as these various models. …”
