BMW has a recall on this vehicle 328xi about the PCV valve heater and had sent notice of the need to replace and it has been over 2 years and they have not found a remedy for the fix. The BMW warranty group confirmed a date on March 7, 2022 for the repair. Upon going to the herb cambers in brookline, MA. They told me they did not have a remedy to fix the issue and will contact when they have a fix. On April 2022 they sent a letter stating the PCV valve heater needs to be fixed under (17V-673 / 19V-273) and the remedy is unavailable and a new remedy needs to be performed. Issue is that if they do not fix the valve heater the engine could heat up and could cause a fire. They say a remedy is being worked on, but BMW should be responsible if a fire does occur.

I owned a 2011 BMW 328i vin number [XXX]. My car first began having problems with the coils, which I had repaired. Then, my engine light came on at least 7 different times and had to return to the the dealership for repair. Sometimes I was not even out of the driveway of the dealership before I had to return the car. They eventually repaired the systemic problem as well as recall notices. On May 3rd, 2020, my car was parked in my driveway and caught on fire and burned to the ground. These BMW fires that we keep hearing about are real issues and need to be investigated.

In 2018 classic BMW dealer diagnosed oil pan gasket leaking and my oil level was low. He recommend gasket replacement at a cost of $1100 I wrote letter & called BMW corporate usa for investigation and resolve the issue. But 1 yr later, they have not resolved the issue & have used my expired warranty as reason for not looking at issue. I have found that this is common issue with BMW cars through my online research. I would like NHTSA to investigate these complaints.

The back door passenger side wood door panel is off and it was never fixed or replaced when I purchased the vehicle. This will probably cost me money to get the wood panel put back on the door. The same lights always appear on my dash board. The indicator lamps are on: Dsc is deactivated. I do not know how to get this fixed. The brake light stays on and it is illuminating a yellow light. I managed to reset the service engine soon light after reading youtube. I took my car back to dealership twice and they did a diagnostic and couldn't get the service engine soon light to turn off. Also the dealership told me I have new brakes and a new oil change. A friend told me how to check my oil and my oil was a quart low. I drove to the nearest gas station and put in a quart of synthetic blend motor oil. I discovered after driving to Washington from las vegas, Nevada my car leaks from my engine.

My vehicle was making a squealing noise, was louder when running but sitting still. Took it to a garage and valve cover gasket was leaking apparently. I know this happens to cars but my BMW is a 2011 with only 65500 miles at the time.. costed me 1000 dollars to fix and a month before this they did a recall on the PCV valve and had it tore apart. Maybe it was someone's mistake when reassembling the PCV valve heater during recall at BMW dealer at towne auto in williamsville near buffalo NY?? idk but that is low mileage for this to happen

My BMW 328I E93 has the service engine soon (ses) light come on while I was driving on the highway. The computer shows error code 2B3A (P1449 dmtl system fault). I cleared the code and it came back a week later. I tried replacing the gas cap and the error still comes back the same. I was doing further research and came across this article (attached) from NHTSA.gov describing the same exact problem, with the same exact code and even my engine is the same N52K for my E93 328I. Https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/tsbs/2012/sb-10051299-3508.pdf the dmtl pump is there to help reduce emissions and if the system is faulty, the BMW dealership should honor the request for service work to replace the dmtl pump under the emissions/extended emissions warranty. I called and they said there's no recall for this VIN so they can't help me...and they are making me pay for the diagnostic fee...but I do in fact have my emissions warranty still in effect for the VIN which is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. It seems that there needs to be an active recall for these faulty dmtl pumps/systems as this problem exists for engines like mine -the N52K engine. I encourage the NHTSA to take a look into this matter and work closely with BMW North America to institute a remedy for this. Thank you in advance and have a nice day.
