Engine and engine cooling, cooling system, fanAug 10, 2012
This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by Valeo. Valeo is recalling certain engine cooling fans, part numbers 696121, 696273, and 696275, used as service replacement parts for model year 2008-2011 BMW 1-Series, 2006-2011 BMW 3-Series, 2000-2009 BMW 5-Series, 2004-2005 BMW 6-Series, and 2006-2007 BMW 7-Series vehicles. A metal-oxide semiconductor may overheat due to insufficient screwing of the semiconductor on the aluminum heat sink. This primary failure could cause adjacent components on the fan assembly motor circuit board to overheat and short.
This condition could cause the fan motor to become inoperative, or cause the motor circuit board in the assembly to overheat, potentially leading to a fire in the engine compartment.
Valeo will notify owners and replace the fans free of charge. The safety recall began on August 22, 2012. This recall is being conducted by Valeo, not by BMW. For further information, owners may contact Valeo at 1-888-718-2536.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS TAKEN FOREVER FOR BMW TO RIGHT THIS PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER I FINALLY GOT A COMMUNICATION FROM BMW THAT THE REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE, BUT IT WASN'T TRUE. I CALLED MY DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. THEY SAID TO CALL BACK LAST WEEK. I DID. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL DEC 13. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SHOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE TO GET A LOANER SINCE SUPPOSEDLY MY CAR IS UNSAFE, BUT NONE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Oct 17, 2017
YOU'VE MANDATED A RECALL FOR THESE PARTS HOWEVER THE DEALERS ARE REFUSING TO FIX THEM BY GIVING THE CUSTOMER THE RUN-AROUND STATING THE PARTS ARE NOT IN STOCK AND THAT THEY CANNOT GET THE PART FOR MONTHS. ON THE CONTRARY, THE PARENT COMPANY BMW USA TELLS ME DIRECTLY THAT THE PARTS ARE FULLY AVAILABLE AND SHOULD ONLY TAKE 1-2 WEEKS TO ARRIVE WHEN NOT IN STOCK. PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE THE DEALERS ARE NOT TAKING ON THE RESPONSIBILITY MANDATED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE ALL BMW DEALERS WITHIN 100 MILES OF MY RESIDENCE AND THEY ARE REPORTING THE SAME BRUSH OFF.

Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 9, 2017
MY CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THERE WAS NO APPARENT CAUSE. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, HE FOUND THAT THE HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL LINE TO THE GAS TANK HAD ROTTED COME DISCONNECTED, SO MY CAR WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. HE PUT A NEW HOSE AND CLAMP ON THE CAR. ONE WEEK LATER MY CAR WOULDN'T START; I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN. HE STATED IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS TIME I HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETELY NEW FUEL TANK, NEW LINES, CLAMPS, ECT. INSTALLED. THE FIRST REPAIR COSTS ME $500.00 AND THE NEW TANK COSTS ME ANOTHER $1400.00 I CALLED BMW AND THEY INDICATED THERE WAS A MEMO REGARDING SOMETHING SIMILAR, BUT NO RECALL. I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME HELP TO ME SINCE IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COST A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE IT WASN'T A STATED RECALL.

Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Visibility/wiper, Jun 27, 2017
WHEN TIRE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BEGINS TO FAIL, ITS RDC MODULE TAKES DOWN THE COMPLETE DASHBOARD MONITORING AND OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS. UPON FAILURE, THE RDC AFFECTS SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, RADIO, BLOWER, WIPERS, IDRIVE SYSTEMS. DRIVER HAS NO INDICATORS OF TURN SIGNALS OR LIGHTING (EVEN IF FUNCTIONAL) WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THIS OCCURRED IN DRIVING SEQUENCE AS FIRST A SERIES OF FLASHES AND IDRIVE RESTARTS, THEN COMPLETE BLANKING OUT OF ALL DASHBOARD SYSTEMS. UPON ADVISEMENT OF REPAIR TECH, SIMPLE UNPLUG OF RDC CLEARS ALL DASHBOARD SYMPTOMS EXCEPT TPMS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR. A CAR SHOULD NOT SIMPLY HAVE A COMPLETE ELECTRONIC MONITORING AND OPERATIONAL (RADIO, BLOWER, TURN INDICATORS, WIPERS) FAILURE DUE TO ONE MONITORING SYSTEM GOING DOWN -- THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND COULD HAVE LED TO ME HAVING AN ACCIDENT EASILY DUE TO NO TURN OR SPEED INDICATORS AVAILABLE.

Electrical system, Structure, Engine, May 23, 2017, fire
BMW ON FIRE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WHEN THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE SO IT MAY HAVE STARTED WHILE IN TRANSIT. MY CAR HAD NO ISSUES, NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CAR, ENGINE OR DRIVING EXPERIENCE. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE THERE WERE NO WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD, NO SMELL OF FIRE OR BURNING OIL, NO SIGNS OF ENGINE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING BUT WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM AROUND THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE AREA AND IT ESCALATED QUICKLY. I WAS STOPPED WAITING AT A SECOND-TO-THE-LEFT TURN LANE SURROUNDED BY CARS AND NOBODY COULD MOVE AWAY. PEOPLE IN THE CAR TO MY LEFT PANICKED THE MOST AS THEY COULD SEE THE SMOKE GOING THEIR WAY AND COULDN'T MOVE THEIR CAR, FORTUNATELY THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SOON AND I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT ACROSS FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. I PARKED, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD THE ENGINE WAS IN FLAMES. MANAGEMENT OF THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT RUSHED WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT IT WAS TOO LATE REGARDLESS. THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A BMW DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DECLARED TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY BEFORE BMW EVEN FINISHED ESTIMATING THE DAMAGE. NOBODY INVESTIGATED FURTHER EVENTHOUGH I ASKED IF THEY WOULD GIVEN THAT MY CAR SEEMED IN PERFECT CONDITION. BMW STATED IT WAS A RARE INSTANCE HOWEVER WHEN I RESEARCHED ABOUT IT I FOUND BLOGS OF LOTS OF MORE CASES LIKE MINE. THE INSURANCE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED ANOTHER BMW IF ANYONE HAD CARED ENOUGH TO PROVIDE ANSWERS OR AT LEAST FOLLOW UP. I BOUGHT MY BMW IN 2014 CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN A BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT CONDITION. I'M JUST GLAD I WAS ABLE TO STOP, THAT THE ONLY PROPERTY DAMAGE WAS MY CAR AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT NOBODY GOT HURT.
