Feb 05,2016 manufacturer recall numberna nhtsa recall number16v071 recall status: recall incomplete driver's front air bag: during air bag deployment in an accident, the driver's front air bag module may produce excessive internal pressure that could cause the inflator to rupture. even though recall begun a year and half ago, we still have not received our final notification letter yet from bmw. everyday driving this vehicle, driver is at risk.

At 81,000 mile the catalytic converter failed. it is unclear whether this car had the catalytic converter replaced as part of the 2012 recall. the service engine soon (ses) light had come on.

Takata recall: i am still waiting for my recall to be fixed. i've read that they are fixing older models and those in high humidity first, but find it interesting that i received a notice to fix the recall on the 2013 leased bmw before my 2011 owned bmw. i live in fl and though i got the notice for the lease, i had already turned the lease back in and was no longer in possession of it. now over a year later since the the beginning of the recall and still no replacement piece for my recall on an older model in high humidity. i turned in the lease in july of 2016 and got the notice about a week after turning it in and now 7 months after that and still no news on when my recall will be dealt with. some information would be nice to owners still waiting for recalls.

Drivers door will not unlock as a result of interior double pull on handle. need to press interior door lock/unlock button on center panel. could be a significant safety issue if emergency egress from vehicle is needed, or electrical power is lost. dealer is claiming it is not a warranted or safety recall issue. vehicle has 36k miles on it.

Since the name did not allow "d" in it. this is actually a 335d - diesel car. service engine light came up. the code p02ce (cylinder 2 fuel injector offset learning t min limit) the issue is this is a reoccurring problem for me and now starts to happen every 6 months. last one was in july 2016. looks like some defective system. please let me know how i can handle this scenario. the barely has 35k miles.

Takata recall : since february dealer has been unable to supply part and cannot provide a date repair can be made. i live in hot humid climate and car remains outside. if i die it will be one in a long list of fatalities. don't want to be a statistic.

This recall came out in feb 2016 and the estimated resolution is "beginning of 2017" my vehicle requires shipment to the uk and the shipping company won't do it unless the recall is complete or i receive a letter saying it's safe to ship, which bmw won't provide, but it's safe enough for me to drive for 9 months?

November 25, 2016 approximately 17:44 (5:44 pm est) my 2011 bmw 335d stalled while driving. "engine malfunction reduced power" alert was on screen. i was able to re-start it, and continued on my way. this is a re-occurring dangerous problem with this car. bmw needs to fix this before somebody gets killed.

Engine design of exhaust gas re-circulation causes heavy carbon build up on intake valves and ports causing loss of power and expensive repairs.

Bmw 335d automatic with approx 60k miles. while driving on the highway at approx 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to make noise, shake violently and fill with smoke. the passenger side curtain airbags went off from the violent shaking. my husband piloted it across 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. the center console and shifter were lifted up several inches. we were shocked that we did not wreck. we set the emergency brake and called bmw roadside assistance. it was towed to the nearest dealership. the dealer said it was 100% mechanical failure and the driveshaft broke and caused significant damage to the transmission and that they could not repair it. *tr

I purchased new pirelli pzero tires from my local bmw dealer. the rear tires exhibited intermittent air loss and were replaced by the dealer because the dealer believed they were damaged during installation. the second set of rear tires also exhibited intermittent air loss. the dealer believed the wheels were damaged and causing the air loss. i had a wheel specialist inspect the wheels, and they found no defects to cause air loss. the wheel specialist found the tires to be defective as they have excess material at the bead that prevents proper sealing on the rim. the wheel specialist attempted to remove the excess material from one tire to determine if that would improve the problem, which it did to some extent. i called pirelli and notified them of the problem, and they stated they would replace one rear tire under warranty but not the tire that was worked upon by the wheel specialist. in summary, i experienced two sets of defective pirelli p zero tires leading me to believe there could be a problem with additional tires. i have video evidence of the leaks seen during a leak test.

I was traveling down the road today in my 2011 335i xdrive and my sunroof exploded! no rock hit me, it was like a shotgun went off inside my car, i’m retired military, a veterans of all the wars/conflicts from 89-2009 had mortars flying over my head and patriot batterys taking out scuds overhead. it’s a good thing i don’t have ptsd, because i could have caused a huge accident at 70 mph on the interstate! glass pieces everywhere, in my lap, mouth and in the car. there are two parallel lines of missing glass, i have taped all of it so it doesn’t fall down. i called bmw if murray utah, they said they never heard of this and my warranty is past they said no recall is out for this.

Pertaining to nhtsa recall number 17v676 that was issued in october of 2017, i called bmw customer service in december to inquire about the status of the recall but was told to continue checking its website for status and the rep could not provide a timeframe as to when i can bring the car to the dealership for repair. we are now at the end of january, more than 3 months after the recall was issued and still no eta as to when a fix will be available. when there's a safety risk involved, i'm not sure why there was not an urgency being placed on this recall from bmw.

Takata recall i have contacted two bmw retailers in my area asking to schedule an appointment to have my airbags replaced and both responses were "we don't have the part but will order it and call you back when ready to schedule the replacement". i haven't heard back from either and i contacted bmw mountain view over 9 months ago and bmw peter pan over 4 months ago. i am deeply concerned for the safety of me and my family since there is a known defect in the airbag that could be deployed in the case of an accident. i hope this never happens but the fact there is a known threat in my car which could be life threatening at any moment and there is no urgency to resolve this issue from bmw or the airbag manufacturer is very disappointing.

The vehicle stalled while accelerating through an intersection and stranded me in the intersection. i was unable to restart the car at first. it would not even crank. after several minutes of attempting to restart the car it finally responded and started. it stalled 4 more times driving a short distance to get the vehicle off the road. car went in for service thursday the 31th and was returned to me saturday the 1st of august. stalling issue is back and the car is now being towed in for service again. this is an extremely dangerous issue. there was another 335d in for service at the dealer also experiencing stalling issues!!!!!

This is a know fault problem that is directly tied to emissions of the deisel engine starting at 2008-2012 for all bmw deisel engines. maybe even newer models. this so called scr temperature sensor that is located inside the def (urea) tank fails, which in term fails the smog inspection if it is not replaced. some owners and dealers have replaced this tank/sensor ( which is one part together, cant buy separately) under emissions warenty. but most dealers will deny the fact this system is the primary system of emmission. and if it's not working how intended i'm sure emissions of this car won't meetc the federal or state requirment. please look into this and get this fixed/ added to the emmission system failure list.

Another vehicle took a hard illegal right from the left hand lane as i was going through an intersection. i was forced to hit the other vehicle and bounced off and hit head-on into a texaco sign. the air back barely deployed out of the steering wheel and the plastic,etc. hit me in the face and broke my orbit bone and cheek bone. i had facial reconstructive surgery to repair my eye floor and cheek bone with titanium. i just survived stage 4 throat cancer this year and my jaws are now irreplaceable from radiation. on one side of my face i did have some level of trauma to my jaw bone but did not break it. however i do worry long term effect on the health of my jaw. the bmw was totaled...updated 11/19/14 *bf updated 8/12/2015*js *tr

I bought this 2011 bmw 335d used in april of 2014 with only 18,500 miles on it. this car runs on diesel. as soon as i started driving the car on the daily basis i noticed a smell of sulfur or exhaust inside the cabin. every time i drive the car and especially when i accelerate i can smell it with the windows closed. it never goes away and is very distinctive in its nature. i took the car to the dealership and they found and fixed some oil leak but it did not resolve the issue with the smell. i think the smell could have a long-term negative effect on my health and i think bmw must resolve this issue. i just can't believe no one else has this problem. to me it looks as if there was a leak in the exhaust system and the gas enters the cabin. *tr

Defective swirl flap actuator. dealer replace intake manifold with swirl flap motor. *jb

Monday morning pulled the car off the garage and noticed the front passenger tire light was on. thought it was a nail in the tire and stopped at ntb to fix it. after taking the wheel off the car, the mechanic called me and indicated that the rim was cracked and they cannot do anything. my car is under warranty so called bmw and brought the car to the dealership. they took the tire off the rim and made pictures, however they kept a neutral tone saying that bmw does not cover wheels and tires under warranty, mostly because i probably hit a pothole. the wheel has no curb damage and the car is driven 50 miles/day highway. i did not damage this wheel and it appears to be a manufacturing defect, one of many people complain already on the net. when is bmw going to take responsibility for their product, specially when thinking that a wheel might rupture on the road, at 50-60mph? *tr
