The check engine light came on a few months ago and my mechanic informed me that the vehicle has a recall issues for it. No remedy has been identified and the car is not operable as doing so may result in the car catching on fire. BMW has no timeframe for when they will be fixing this issue.

I brought my 2015 BMW 328i to a local BMW dealership service center to inspect why my check engine light turned on. As part of their multi-point inspection, the service technician found an unrelated problem with the rear left tail light. This was identified as a critical electrical issue that required immediate repair.

Recall notice # 24V-608 was issued in October 2024. BMW has not yet provided a remedy as of January 2025 (more than 3 months) for this safety issue. I therefore complain about BMW's lack of responsiveness to this recall.

My vehicle has a open recall effecting the water pump and electrical issues. Whenever I drive it, the front hood starts to smoke. I notified the main bmw dealer and local bmw service. They stated there is no remedy available yet. This is my only source of transportation to work. Which is half hour away from my house. I explained the situation to the manufacturer. I have only been given the runaround from person to person promising they would return my call and nothing yet. My vehicle is very unsafe to drive .

I have a 2015 bmw 328i with just over 40,000 miles. A few weeks ago I began experiencing a dash warning for a "left turn signal malfunction" however it was intermittent and would often go off when turning the car off and restarting. Then I began getting a "left brake light malfunction" warning as well.

Trunk will not open. The fob, buttons, latch...nothing works to open the trunk. The only way it will open is if I reach into the trunk from behind the rear seat and pull the emergency latch release.
