2010 BMW 328I

After running errands and car had been parked for an hour or so, I returned to my vehicle and it would crank but would not start. After trying to start a few times it finally started and I was able to make it home without having to call a tow truck (Or being abandoned in a mall parking lot in the middle of the night). My car drove fine the next day, after driving for about an hour I parked at my parents home during a visit that lasted an hour or so. When returning to my vehicle to leave the same thing happened as before. It would crank but would not start. It took a few tries to start and then it ran fine and I was able to make it home with no issue. It started okay the following day and I was able to drive to and from work (approx. 8 miles). After parking over night I went to start vehicle and it would not start at all. It would crank but would not start. I had the battery replaced thinking it was an old battery (2010 vehicle) this would still not work, the car was also not able to be jumped from the engine compartment, may have something to do with the battery lines or fuel pump?Previous recall? I did not own this vehicle prior to 2018 so I am not sure if this could be the issue? Or properly repaired previous recall? recently APRIL 2022 Recall-PCV Valve Heater.The recall information claims that it is only activated in "cold weather climates" and that it may not have been produced to specifications by the supplier. Over time this could lead to overheating in the engine compartment. In some cases, this could lead to fire! This recall's remedy is unavailable at this time which is extremely concerning. I am actually scared to attempt to continue to inspect, as this recall can cause a fire. If this was a recall regarding windows, or windshield wipers that would be a little easier to deal with, but fires! The recall info requested drivers and passengers to dial 911 and immediately move to a safe location away from traffic if you see smoke/funny smell no remedy availabl

SOME OF THE BMW FOOTWELL MODULE FOR THE E7X TO E9X MODELS CONTAINING A DEFECTIVE MICROCHIP THAT UPON JUMP-START OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY LEVEL IS LOW WOULD CORRUPT ITS MEMORY. WHEN CORRUPTION OCCURS, THE CAR WILL DISABLE TURNING SIGNAL BLINKERS, POWER WINDOWS, INTERNAL LIGHTS, AND MORE. THOSE AFFECTED FUNCTION WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BMW HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE PART, BUT ONLY FOR OWNERS WHO RUN INTO THE PROBLEM (IE: JUMP-STARTED) WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME IS COVERED. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS INFAMOUS DEFECT UNTIL RECENTLY AND BMW FAILED TO INFORM ME OF THIS ISSUE PROACTIVELY. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. AFTER I READ HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES ONLINE, THIS IS A PART THAT WARRANTS A BRODER RECALL.

THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON THE PARTS THAT CONTROL THE FLOW OR SPEED OF THE AC UNIT IN THE CAR, ALSO THE AIRFLOW. THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER RECALLS ON THIS CAR. A NOTICE WAS ORIGINALLY SENT OUT TO ME IN NOVEMBER OF 2017. IT'S NOW AUGUST OF 2018 AND ANOTHER NOTICE HAS NOT BEEN SENT OUT. I'VE REACHED OUT TO BMW ON THIS ISSUE WAS SIMPLY TOLD THAT IF SMOKE OR A FIRE STARTS IN MY CAR, TO PULL OVER AND DIAL 911. THE FACT I CAN'T USE MY AC IN ARIZONA IS OUT OF CONTROL, IT'S EXTREMELY HOT HERE. EARLIER IN THE YEAR IT WAS OKAY SINCE IT WAS COOLER BUT NOW TEMPS ARE REACHING OVER 110 DEGREES. I DID FIND THE PART BUT ALSO ASKED FOR A REIMBURSEMENT IF I WERE TO PURCHASE IT AND WAS TOLD I'D STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SECOND LETTER. WHY SHOULD I NEED TO WAIT FOR A SECOND LETTER FOR SOMETHING THERE'S A RECALL ON? ESPECIALLY SOMETHING THAT CAN PUT MYSELF OR CHILD IN DAMAGE OR OTHER PEOPLE.
