My car is suffering from recall 19V472000 for my bmw 328i. My car horn dash lights windshield wipers and all my electric functioning in this aspect have continued to go on and off causing me to almost wreck numerous times as well as causing others to wreck into my car. Yet my vin is not included in this recall when I type in my vin. My car type year and model is however. I have another recall just fixed by bmw for the blower motor wiring and one supposedly waiting on a remedy. Bmw you need to vin to this recall list and stop hiding that you screwed so many. We pay for luxury cars for a reason-€¦ not so they stall out, catch fire whether on or off, or the entire electric system fails. The problems started around 108k.This had put my family and granddaughter at risk.

My car is losing power and the instrument panel tends to flicker on and off at times. I had to replace the battery cables, due to water entering the battery compartment and corroded the cables. Once that was repaired it was determined that the the positive battery cable at the front power distribution box may be damaged by vehicle vibrations or something which cause no power going to the distribution box. I repaired the issues with the battery cables and the water collecting in the battery compartment. Now the problem I outlined above with the power not reaching the the front distribution box is now being worked on. I reached out to BMW and was told that my specific vin # was not impacted. However, it's hard to tell based on the description of the problem as outlined in the recall 13V-044. At this time I can't find the copy of the repair bill, however, the repairs were completed at Motorsports gmbh, 101 Park Ave, Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 approximately $2,000

Vehicle needs an airbag replacement, and two electrical components fixed. One of those electrical components may lead to the car overheating which is extremely dangerous and a fire hazard. I have called the BMW roseville, ca dealership multiple times and they do not answer. I am concerned because I commute for work and I also drive around my pregnant wife and my 5 year old daughter.

The battery connections in the rear compartment have completely corroded. My mechanic has told me this is a common issue with many BMW series not just the 3 series. Water seepage appears to be a specific problem with failures to rubber gaskets in the trunk/rear lights in this convertible. The repair is $2,000 as the entire cable system must be replaced to the engine an 11 hour job. This is a well known issue but not acceptable from a car that has been garaged its entire life. This should be investigated as many consumers are paying an enormous bill due to bad design, workmanship and engineering. The dx occurred after much investigation and the inability to start the car for 2 weeks after $300 worth of repairs (new battery, starter, relay switch) the mechanic told me that we were lucky there was not a fire as the both main cables were arcing at the connection point.
