Consumer Description

EXHAUST IS ENTERING THE CABIN THROUGH THE VENTING FILLING THE CAR WITH HARMFUL GASES. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A EGR COOLER/VALVE ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN "OPEN CAMPAIGN" FOR THE ERG BRACKET TO BE REPLACED BY BMW BUT NO SAFETY RECALLS ON THE EGR COOLER OR VALVE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE SINCE THE LEAK STARTS OFF SLOW AND UNDETECTABLE AT FIRST THEN GROWS TO BE A SERIOUS BURN IN YOUR EYES AND NOSE. THIS COULD BE ESPECIALLY HARMFUL TO FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR
