2011 BMW 335XI

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN THE ENGINE SOUNDED SOMETHING SIMILAR TO IS IF I HAD A MISFIRE. I STARTED SLOWING DOWN BY THE TIME I GOT TO ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. OPEN THE HOOD AND THERE WAS A FIRE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE IN THE FIREWALL. WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE CAR COMPLETELY BURNED DOWN. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT CAUSED THIS SO FAR.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO BMW FOR 2 RECALLS AFTER WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS AFTER 6 HRS HAD PASSED THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE THE WRONG PARTS ,WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR IT HAD NO POWER I COULDN'T DRIVE IT HOME .I PAID $147 FOR DIAGNOSTIC THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLIMENTARY AND A REPAIR BILL OF $3,478.25 APRIL 20 20018 . LAST YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE THE AXLE DO IT NOT TWISTING LIKE A WASH RAG

OCTOBER 25, 2017 | RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 17V-676 BLOWER MOTOR WIRING TO DATE THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL ISSUED 5 MONTHS AGO. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CONSTITUTES A 'REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME' FOR A RECALL LIKE THIS BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, ESPECIALLY FOR A RECALL THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE..

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 335XI. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V071000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (SCHOMP BMW, HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO, 303-730-1300) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DRIVING AT 90KM HR ON FLAT STRAIGHT GOOD HWY, SUNROOF FOR NO REASON EXPLODES. NOISE IS LOUD ENOUGH TO GIVE ME TINNITUS, GLASS SHATTERS EVERYWHERE. CAUSING ME TO DO AN EMERGENCY PULL OVER. EVIDENCE SHOWS CLEARLY THE EXPLOSION WAS OUTWARD WITH REMAINING GLASS BENT UPWARDS AND SHARDS ALL DOWN THE BACK OF THE CAR DAMAGING THE REAR PAINT. SHARDS COVERING DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND BACK SEAT. SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN OPEN FOR 2 MONTHS AND LINER SHADE WAS BACK.

I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH THE CONFIDENCE THAT I WAS PURCHASING A SUPERIOR PRODUCT TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN I WENT TO SALE THIS VEHICLE I WAS GIVEN LESS FOR THE SALE OF MY CAR DUE TO THIS RECALL I COULD NOT GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED SO I WAS GIVEN LESS FOR MY CAR DUE TO THIS RECALL MY DAMAGES ARE $3000.00 I WOULD LIKE THIS DIFFERENCE REFUNDED BACK TO ME. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT THIS IS SOLELY THE FAULT OF THE INFERIOR PRODUCT I HAVE NOT CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY AS OF YET BUT IF I AM NOT MADE WHOLE THEN I WILL HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY DUE TO MY LOSS.
