Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE AND RELATED MPG READ OUTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE BRAND NEW BIKE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TANK SENSOR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NINE SUBSEQUENT CONTACTS MADE TO BMW WITH NO FOLLOW THROUGH BY THEM TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT BMW HAS AN INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. *JS
