ENGINE

This recall has been open for over a year, yet every BMW dealer I have contacted has refused to perform the repair, citing a lack of available parts. I have contacted multiple authorized BMW service centers during this time, and all have confirmed that they cannot complete the recall service because BMW has not supplied the necessary components. This situation has left my vehicle with a known safety defect for an unreasonably long period, creating ongoing safety concerns for me and my passengers. I believe this violates the spirit of federal recall requirements, which are intended to ensure timely and effective remedies for known safety defects.

ENGINE

The car shut down by itself while driving. It went from 30 miles/hour to complete stop in 20 feet. I could not put the car in neutral. Any attempts to restart the engine caused smoke to come out of the hood. I had the car towed to the dealer/service. Service told me the engine had seized and they will have to replace the engine which would cost me $26, 000.

STRUCTURE:BODY

My son was driving and stated that the car started to overheat and then decided to pull to the side of the road. He and his brother sat in the car for approximately 2-3 minutes and his girlfriend heard a crackling noise. I told them to check what the error message was on the display and how to check it. He stated The idrive said “engine compartment hot” so upon exiting the car and shutting the door, it began to smoke then burst into flames. He immediately called the fire dept that arrived in 7 minutes as the put the flames out. They stated right before they started to smell smoke or like the smell of a radiator leaking or the smell it makes. Noone was hurt just a little traumatized. I called BMW of Fayetteville in November but stated there is no remedy for it. I asked did I need to bring it on to be checked the BMW representative stated I will receive a letter when a remedy was available and at that time he stated there is nothing they can do without direction of how to proceed without a remedy or parts to do so. I have letters on each telling me of the recall and logging into Mybmw it states no remedy available. The fire dept stated he will have a report by 1/16/2025 and I have statements from my children in the car for now.

I started my bmw up one day after working 16 hours and white thick smoke came from the back tailpipe. Tok it to bmw and they said my car is leaking oil on to the turbo and I need to replace the pump, shocks, valves and others because of this leak. And the car started to issue a transmission fault code on the screen.

My vehicle has had an open recall for the engine coolant system and the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner. As a result, the engine coolant system became damaged and my vehicle is no longer operable. This is my only means of transportation and is causing a serious hardship. I would like the manufacturer to offer an immediate solution.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I am having the exact problem that recall 24V608 has described but BMW USA and dealership will not fix my issue under the recall. This issue had occurred [XXX]. and inspected by my independent service center and identified the issue as the recall. The water pump is running out of control after the engine is off. The water pump is leaking at electrical connector. However BMW has stated they do not have a remedy to the recall as of 1-3-25, 5 months after NHTSA put out the recall announcement. BMW USA. The remedy has stated that water pump and electronic to be replaced and a shield to be put in place. I am sure that the replacement water pump and Electronic is currently available, Just the shield may not be available. As NHTSA has issued this recall and has a potential of Fire. I believe BMW should as a minimum replace current faulty parts of the recall now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
