My car is experiencing electrical failures explained in this recall: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 13V044000 There is a complete loss of power to the vehicle, I need to manually open the trunk, wiggle the positive terminal of the battery to get the power back. This seems to be known issue as identified in the NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 13V044000 When reported to the dealer, they declined to fix the issue as part of recall for the reason my VIN number does not show up in the system for this specific electrical issue. The only way the dealer would address is through charging me for diagnostics and fixing.This seems to be a widespread issue with the model year of the car I own, I expect BMW to fix this as part of the existing recall campaign.

While the vehicle is in motion as well as stationary the window pinch protection light flashes at 30 second intervals along with an audible noise. This creates a dangerous distraction while driving and there is no way to turn off the noise or notification. Once the window pinch protection has been reset on each window the notification remains flashing every 30 seconds while the car is running. This audible noise is heard while driving at any speed and creates an unsafe distraction.

Just finished driving about 10 miles from home to work, about 70 degrees-F outside, sunny, good weather around 11am. Did not operate air conditioner, heater or vent fan. Car seemed to drive fine, no strange noises. Had no recent major repairs. We are second owners of certified pre-owned BMW, have had vehicle for the past 7 years and driven about 50K miles since purchase. After arriving at workplace, stopped at workplace parking lot with engine idling for a few seconds to wait for parking gate to open. However, began seeing white smoke coming out of driver's side of engine hood. Tried to reverse the vehicle out to the street and moved about 10ft before engine shut off and would not restart. Within 15-30 seconds a plume of fire erupted out of the front hood through the grill. Within 3 minutes entire car was engulfed in flames and its proximity to other cars in the lot caused fire damage to 4 other vehicles. Car was a total loss including all possessions within it. Electronic locks quit working as soon as fire started.

The car has a short draining battery all the dash lights came on the blower moter smelt like fire when turned on. Scan tool wont connect to obd2 says no communication air bags restraint lights came on. I beleive your recalls were not done and cause a massive failure that would be considered dangerous conditions to operate vehicle under.

Comfort access is blowing fuse. Can't exit my car w inside handles, all doors (only sometimes though) have to roll down driver window, insert manual key to unlock door. Other times, the passenger door will not unlock at all. This is dangerous. Without power to the windows, how would one escape? the fob will not unlock the doors at all. As mentioned, sometimes I can manually open with the handle inside the car and other times not at all. Locks broken at all stages, stationary or moving.
