NHTSA Complaint #10365732 — 2007 BMW 530XI

2007 BMW 530XI, HAS WATER LEAKING ONTO REAR FLOOR FROM ROOF DRAIN BEHIND SUNROOF. THIS ROOF DRAIN REQUIRES THE SUNROOF TO BE REMOVED, HEADLINER TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND RUBBER PIPES TO BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO ENSURE PROPER DRAINAGE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AND IS SOMETHING THAT BMW SHOULD BE COVERING THE REPAIR FEES FOR INSTEAD OF CHARGING $700 TO FIX. THE WATER IN THE CAR DAMAGES THE ELECTRONICS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS ETC. BMW IS STATING THAT THIS IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE WHICH SEEMS STRANGE AS I HAVE NEVER HAD TO PAY $700 TO FIX A ROOF DRAIN ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED IN THE PAST.
