Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT HAS MALFUNCTIONED COMPLETELY (BRAKE LIGHTS AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL). THE ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN TO BMW DEALERSHIPS HOWEVER THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER CPO (CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED) WARRANTY AND MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE TAIL LIGHT CONNECTOR IS MELTED DUE TO FAULTY TAIL LIGHT GROUNDING. BMW HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (SOME MODELS) BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER GET NOTIFIED. *TR
