| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2010 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | THE TAIL LIGHTS AND 3RD BRAKE LIGHT FAIL. THERE IS NO INDICATOR ON DASH THAT NOTIFIES OF SUCH FAILURE, CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR |
| 2009 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | UNSAFE EQUIPMENT: DRIVER'S SIDE PARKING/RUNNING LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS ON THE DASH REGARDING IT'S FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE INDICATOR LIGHT IS INTEGRATED INTO THE TAIL LIGHT LENS ASSEMBLY. THEREFORE MAKING REPAIR IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE BMW REPAIR/SERVICE FACILITY DID NOT CARRY THIS IN STOCK AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN FOR 4 1/2 BUSINESS DAYS. LUCKILY I WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE I WAS UNDER WARRANTY. BMW IS AWARE OF A DEFECT IN THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES (SIB 63 03 10) DUE TO A RUBBER SEAL CAUSING A CHEMICAL CORROSION/LEAKING ISSUE WITH THE EMBEDDED LED LIGHTS. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING ALL BMW 1 SERIES TAILLIGHTS THAT WERE EXPOSED TO THE RISK AS A MATTER OF SAFETY AND NOT DIFFER THE COSTS/RISKS TO DRIVER SAFETY. *TR |
