Chapter 301. The vehicle was delivered for mandatory safety recall 23V-707 after an on-road mechanical shear of the covered VANOS bolts. The dealer has created illegal commercial barriers and failed to fully execute the federal remedy. First, the service department issued a written estimate for $4,405.67, claiming the CAS module and locks failed and required replacement to resolve a no-start condition. I challenged the repair on technical grounds and authorized a new battery and valid key only, the dealer admitted in writing that the electrical sync restored seamlessly and the engine started. They attempted to extract thousands for a functioning module before verifying the recall. Second, the VANOS bolts sheared resulting in certain valve-piston contact. The dealer claimed the engine passed a compression check but refused to provide raw ISTA diagnostic logs to verify this safety threshold. Instead, they demanded an additional out-of-pocket fee of $669.60 to re-perform a test they claimed to have completed, creating a commercial barrier to basic remedy verification. Third, the dealer demanded $2,136.69 to replace a compromised valve cover and PCV valve which functioned without issue pre-failure.  Valve cover removal is required for vanos repair and requiring consumer expense for mandatory safety repair is legally prohibited.  Indeed,  Under BMW SIB 11 09 23, collateral damage must be routed through corporate TSARA, not the consumer.  Fourth, the steel VANOS bolt heads sheared completely off. The official remedy mandates dropping the oil pan to locate and remove these fragments to prevent total oil pressure loss. Despite my repeated requests for verification of removal, nothing was provided, the car was inoperable, and I was advised that the recall repair was complete and the vehicle was in outdoor fenced lot awaiting arrangements for removal.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2010","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11733199,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/23/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"04/23/2026","vin":"WBAPK5C59AA","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"Odometer Fraud.

She had never been through this situation and had no idea what to do. She tried to turn it back on but it would not start. She was frightened, the vehicle was partially on the slow lane and on the shoulder. She turned on the emergency blinkers and immediately called me freaking out, I told her to compose herself, watch her surroundings, to get away from the vehicle and closer to the shoulder. The fact that this happened out of nowhere in the middle of the highway put my wife and others in danger. Luckily she reacted quickly and started making her way towards the shoulder on the right. This could've caused an accident, injuries or even death. A good samaritan stopped and helped her move the bmw out of the lane and into the shoulder. The reason why this occurred to the vehicle is because of the Vanos timing chain assembly. I had Christian Brothers Automotive diagnose a check engine light and a noise that was coming from the engine on March [XXX]. They warned me that this could've happened and to take it to the dealer because it has an open recall on it. I called the bmw dealership and told me they couldn't do anything about it because they did not have a remedy at this time. We knew it was a risk but it's the only car she has to use to work. She strictly used it just for work for that same reason. After it broke down, I got it towed to my house and had an independent mechanic diagnose the issue and he confirmed as well that it was the Vanos timing chain assembly. I towed it to my nearest BMW dealership and told them the situation and about the recall. They said they will diagnose it and look into the recall. We just really need this fixed as soon as possible. Right now I'm having to drop her off at work and she has to find an Uber back home because I'm still working. I'm hoping that with this report, it will help me and others get the problem fixed that we desperately need.

I brought it to BMW, and VANOS bolt (recall) code was confirmed, but they told me it was a problem with internal piece missing from the oil filter. I asked if the car was safe to drive, and they confirmed and also told me the car is having other mechanical issues I should be aware of. The service agent described possible future problems with transmission and told me that there was no remedy available for recall yet, so I need to wait. I paid to have oil filter replaced. A week later, I was driving myself to work and my daughter to daycare when the car began to stall out and misfire in traffic. After bringing it back to the dealership, they replaced 1 spark plug free of charge and advised me that the car was coming back with other codes. I addressed the safety risk and the continued mechanical breakdown of the car systems if I continued driving it, and I was encouraged to trade the vehicle somewhere. I will attach an email I sent detailing further frustration I have experienced with BMW. After speaking with customer relations, I received the same reply, which is yes, there is a safety risk it is minimal and unfortuanly, there is no remedy available yet.

WHEN TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (APROX. 20MPH) THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I WAS FORCED TO CALL TOW SERVICE TO PICK THE CAR UP AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. SURVEYING THE ONLINE COMMUNITY OF BMW OWNERS THIS APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR AND SO I AM DOCUMENTING THIS OCCURRENCE WITH ME HERE IN THE HOPES THAT BMW CAN BE MADE TO PUBLICLY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT FOR ALL CONCERNED. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2010","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"335I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10302486,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"01/02/2010","dateComplaintFiled":"01/27/2010","vin":"WBAPH7G56AN","components":"SEATS","summary":"TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 328I.
