ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 TO 55 MPA WHEN MY TEMP LIGHT CAME ON, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS MY CAR LOST SPEED RAPIDLY AND COMPLETELY QUIT LOCKING EVERYTHING UP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH 100,000 MILE WARRENTY.WHEN I CALLED CENTURY BMW DEALER IN HUNTSVILLE, AL WHERE I PURCHASED IT I WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY WENT OUT TWO MONTHS AGO ON 5/15 ACCORDING TO DATE OF SHIPMENT, A FEW DAY'S BEFORE I HAD RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY FACTORY WARNING MAY BE EXPIRING BASED ON TIME AND MILES IT STATED THAT AVAILABLE COVERAGE EXPIRES ON 8/23/2013 WHICH WAS 21 DAY'S AFTER DATE OF FAILURE. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS TIME I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THAT IS NOT WHAT THE STATEMENT SAID.WHEN TOWED TO SHOP IT WAS THE WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT AT A COST OF $1,212.11 PLUS TOWING CHARGE THAT I DO NOT HAVE A BILL ON YET WHICH SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN COVERED. I AM JUST LUCKY THAT NO ONE BEHIND ME SLAMMED INTO THE REAREND OF CAR OF LUCKILY NOT TURNING IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING EXCEPT SECONDS BEFORE IT STOPPED COLD. I HAD TOOK THE CAR IN BEFORE BECAUSE I SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, AND HAVE AT TIMES SINCE THEN SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE BUT SINCE I HAD IT CHECKED OUT JUST THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MODEL. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, SO WHY WAS THEIR NO RECALL STATING THE DANGER OF THIS HAPPENING. AND WHY ARE THEY NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED A 2009 BMW 238I. I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ON 30 SEPT 11. I DROPPED IT OFF, GOT A LOANER, AND WENT TO WORK. BEFORE I DROPPED IT OFF THAT MORNING THE CAR RAN GREAT, IT HAD NO TICKING, NO ENGINE LIGHTS NOR LOSS OF POWER. I HADN'T HEARD FROM BMW SO I CALLED THEM, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD TALKED TO BMW NA AND I NEED TO AGREE TO THEM REMOVING MY VALVE COVER, AT MY EXPENSE $700. I SAID THAT I ONLY WANTED AN OIL CHANGE. HE TOLD ME THEY TERMINATED MY WARRANTY. MY WARRANTY WAS FOR 4YR/50,000 MILES, IT HAD NOT EXPIRED. I WAS VERY UPSET AND MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CALL BMW NA AND THE SUPERVISOR TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH WHAT THE SERVICE CENTER SAID AND THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO TALK TO. DISAPPOINTED, I PICKED MY CAR UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR MADE SOME LOUD TICKING NOISES AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE EXPERIENCING SOME POWER LOSS, IN THE MIST OF HIGH TRAFFIC. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN IT STARTED AND I IMMEDIATELY GOT OVER TO GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. AND AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF (NO POWER), I BARELY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD. IT JUST SHUT OFF! I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW. THAT WEEKEND THE CAR CRANKED UP AND IT SEEMED TO BE NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF IT WAS OKAY. THE TICKING RETURNED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN AND I HAD TO COAST IT OFF THE ROAD ONTO CHURCH GROUNDS AND CALL A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. AND NOW IT WILL NOT CRANK AT ALL. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I HAVE TO RENT A CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL RECALLS, FOR EXAMPLE: BMW HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL AND VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS AND SAFETY RECALLS AND TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAFETY AND HOW BMW TERMINATES A LOT OF PEOPLE'S WARRANTIES PRIOR TO THEIR EXPIRATION DATE. BMW SEEMS TO BE PUTTING ALL OF OUR LIVES AT RISK AND TERMINATING WARRANTIES AT WILL. *TR
