Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 BMW 325I. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNING A CORNER AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. IT WAS TOWED TO UNITED BMW IN GWINNITT GA WHERE ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT A VALVE SPRING BROKE AND FELL INTO A PISTON CHAMBER. 96000 MILES ON THE CAR AND INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER. ALSO, ONLY 50000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAS BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST 9 MONTHS NOW. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 16000 TO FIX AND THEY HAVE THEN SINCE TOWED THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE AND DECLARED IT ABANDONED. I TRIED TO CALL AND GET SOME INFORMATION ON THE MATTER BUT NOBODY WILL RETURN MY CALLS OR HELP ME IN THIS SITUATION. I STILL OWE 9000+ ON THE AUTO. *KB
