During my drive home, the car stalled.  I had to quickly coast to a parking lot in order not to get hit by the car behind me.  I tried to restart the car, but it acted as if it needed a jump. Tried to jump the car but it turned over slowly without starting.  Ended up getting it towed to Metairie very early the next morning, due to parades.  Had a friend of mine, a BMW shop owner, take a look at the car.  He told me that he found out that it had a few recalls  and he thought that may be the problem.  I spoke with a service advisor at  BMW dealer  that checked the vin and said the recalls would be taken care of along with anything it caused.  I made the appointment and had it towed to BMW dea;er.  I was assigned to Erin C, Service Advisor, when I made my appointment.  My appointment was for 7:30 AM on the 28th of March.  I heard from Erin at 4:30 that afternoon with an update.  She told me that I had a seized engine and it was going to cost ten thousand or more to replace the engine.  I asked if the recall was done on it, because the recall stated that one of the indicators of the Vanos issue was that it would not start any more.  I also found information saying that stalling, engine seizing, and oil starvation can be dangerously caused by the recall.  Erin stated that they would take the valve cover off to confirm.  Didn\u2019t hear from her on Friday, or over the weekend.  I got her on the phone Monday evening at 5:30 PM.  Erin told me the same information that after they took off the valve cover and videoed it (have not seen that video yet).  That my engine was seized.  She assured me that they hooked up the car to communicate with the engineers who confirmed, from all the evidence, that the engine seizing was not caused by the recall but lack of oil circulation.

Over the past month, I have contacted Burdick BMW a total of four (4) times via phone regarding a recall service for my vehicle. The contact was made on [XXX].  Each time, I spoke with a customer representative who assured me that a supervisor would return my call to schedule an appointment.

My car has all maintained regular oil change and kept up with the maintenance. So now BMW is trying to give me my car back with the Vanos bolt still stuck in the engine in my car not starting and they said they were not gonna fix the recall.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11622135,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/13/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"10/27/2024","vin":"WBAPH5C52BA","components":"ENGINE","summary":"Recall for 2011 BMW 328i PCV Heater valve was conducted on or around March 12, 2023 at my local BMW private shop Bimmer Engineering located in Lancaster, CA.

You should immediately bring the vehicle in for recall repairs.

BMW had a solution- but wanted to charge for it (as the recall had not yet been issued). Now that recall has been issued BMW seems to be waiting out the clock and hoping owners get rid of the car before they have to repair the vehicle. Also they are now saying we can drive the vehicle until the remedy is available, which directly conflicts with dealers advice when they wanted to charge for the repair. They have not given any indication of time frames. We do not feel comfortable driving the car on highways due to risk of stalling.

I drove from Brooklyn through the Holland Tunnel with no issues. However, after driving about 4 or 5 miles on the New Jersey Turnpike the fuel pump malfunction light came on and the car started to slow down then jerk.

I was able to get a tow to the nearest BMW \u2014 BMW of Bloomfield. They took my keys and ran my VIN. The service manager from that location advised me that they could fix the fuel pump for me at no cost because it is a known issue and is covered under code SULEV. However, I would have to leave my car there for the weekend.  Since I live in Brooklyn, I decided to get another tow to BMW of Manhattan where my car has been since Saturday. I did not receive a call from the service advisor until Monday evening, to whom I explained everything that I just wrote. He told me that there were no open recalls on my vehicle and he would let me know the cost to replace the fuel pump. I explained to him that the service manager at BMW of Bloomfield said that I absolutely should not be charged for the repair because it is covered for New Jersey and New York customers. Also, I looked up the code and issue on Google and saw that other customers had the same issue and BMW repaired the vehicle at no charge.  BMW of Manhattan has stated that they will replace the fuel pump at no charge. However, I will need to pay over $1,000 to replace the fuel pump module and FPR module that both malfunctioned.

This module distributes power to many components and since it has failed I have no headlights, no turn signals, no interior lights, no dashboard lights, and cannot roll my windows up or down. This is a known flaw with these cars and if you look on eBay there are bootleg repair services than can temporarily reset it however they often fail again. There are dozens of these sellers on Ebay and all list +1000 sales for their repair services so clearly this is widespread and affects many BMW owners. BMW denies there is an issue but has placed a 10 year warranty on the part, however all 3 series affected by this part are over 10 years old and not eligible for this warranty.       Digging around on BMW forums this seems extremely common and almost anything can cause the FRM to fail. Headlights burning out, weak batteries, replacing interior dome lights, and even BMW connecting to the OBDII port to read the ecu are common causes of the FRM failing. I don't understand how they can get away with putting a limited warranty on this and not a full recall when it's clearly a safety concern as I can't safely or legally drive my car with no working lights, and in the event of an emergency cannot roll down my windows to get out of the car.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11452089,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":true,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/03/2020","dateComplaintFiled":"02/15/2022","vin":"WBAPH7C52BE","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"I owned a 2011 BMW 328i vin number [XXX].

The loose connection at the battery terminal on this wire caused the car to suddenly turn off while driving on the road. Once turned off, there was zero electrical response from the car (e.g. engine turned off, no headlights, no hazard lights, no power steering, no capability to restart the car, airbags likely would not deploy if car crashed, etc.). The car could only be controlled by coasting on its remaining inertia, slowed down using residual braking power (which disappears after applying the breaks 2-5 times due to loss of hydraulic pressure), and forcefully steering the car (since there\u2019s no power steering). This is an INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS situation that could cause loss of life due to complete loss of control of car.  Both the battery and alternator were in good health. Only the battery terminal connection was loose, leading to a single point failure of the ENTIRE electrical system of the car and the car itself. There is NO redundancy in the electrical system; even if the alternator is running fine, the loose battery connection will kill the car.  Furthermore, once car is stopped and safely secured, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to open the trunk to access the battery as there is no way to access the trunk manually via key. I had to apply a 12V source to the large red wire at the fuse box to power on the car, enabling me to open the trunk. This requires removing cupholders, glove box, various trim panels, etc. to access the fuse box.

I LEARNED IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CONTACTED BMW DEALER IN EARLY 2018 WHEN THE CAR HAD 88254 MILES AND THEY SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST ABOUT $1300 TO FIX THE AIRBAG SENSOR MAT.

I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM UNTIL AUGUST 2018 I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE EXACT SAME PART FOR OUR OTHER CAR, A 2004 X3 WHICH GAVE A WARRANTY EXTENSION AND OFFERED REIMBURSEMENT IF THE PART HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I CONTACTED BMW AND THEY REFUSED TO OFFER SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AIRBAG SENSOR MATTS IN MY 2011 328I. SINCE MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND, I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY BMWS, THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION WOULD INDICATE THAT THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE SENSOR ITSELF NOT SPECIFIC TO THE X3 MODEL. IN FACT THE SENSOR HAS NOT YET  FAILED IN OUR 2004 X3 THAT HAS OVER 160,000 MILES.  THE 2011 328 SENSOR  HAD THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.  I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME FEATURE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. AT THE VERY LEAST A NEW INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR ALL BMW MODELS. I DROVE FOR OVER A YEAR WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I REALIZED IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT WORK IF THE SENSOR WAS BROKEN. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY ASKING THEM TO CHECK IF  MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAR HAS TO BE INSPECTED BY THE BMW ENGINEER, AND THE DEALER CAN'T TOUCH THE CAR BECAUSE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE. I CALLED THE BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP DEPT. RIGHT AWAY, AND THEY SCHEDULED AN ENGINEER  TO COME AND LOOK AT MY CAR. ONE WEEK LATER, A BMW ENGINEER CAME TO THE BODY SHOP AND DOWNLOADED THE DATA, AND  TODAY I WAS NOTIFIED BY BMW THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A LOCAL BMW DEALER AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE LAST YEAR WITH ABOUT 23K MILES ON IT AND STILL HAS THE WARRANTY.I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE MY FAMILY DOESN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON BIMMERFEST AND ONE ON YOUR SITE FOR THE 2011 BMW 328I, REGARDING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I ASKED THEM BMW TO REPLACE THE CAR, WHICH THEY WOULDN'T DO. I REQUESTED BMW TO SEND A LETTER STATING THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE ALONG WITH A REPORT ABOUT THEIR FINDINGS, SINCE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE MY CAR. NOT SURE IF THEY WILL SEND ME ONE.AS A GOOD CITIZEN WITH GOOD DRIVING RECORD, I AM REALLY SCARED ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR WHICH IN MY OPINION IS NOT SAFE.  I AM HOPING THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER CAREFULLY, AND GET A BETTER RESOLUTION TO MY ISSUE.   THANK YOU.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10583820,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":true,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":1,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"01/11/2013","dateComplaintFiled":"04/20/2014","vin":"WBADW3C5XBE","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NOV. 2011.
