NHTSA Complaint #10629389 — 2008 BMW 335I

MY CAR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, MINT...I AM A CERTIFIED FRAUD EXAMINER. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP FROM BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON TO RICHMOND, BC. WHILE DRIVING IN RICHMOND, BC NEAR THE AUTO WEST BMW DEALERSHIP, MY DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN GOING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS AS I DROVE. SOMETIMES THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON WOULD WORK AND THE SEAT WOULD STOP. A MINUTE OR TWO GOES BY AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT GOES CRAZY AND PINS ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AND PINS MY KNEES AGAINST THE DASHBOARD. I AM BARELY ABLE TO STEER AND LIFT MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND APPLY THE BRAKES. DUE TO MY TRAINING, I DID NOT PANIC...I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, AND DID ALL I CAN TO SQUEEZE MYSELF OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT BUTTON WAS NON RESPONSIVE, SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. I WAS TWO BLOCKS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED BMW NORTH AMERICA AND THEY REGISTERED MY COMPLAINT. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SEAT BACK, AND DROVE IT TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, AS I PULLED INTO THEIR PARKING LOT, AND SEAT REPEATED ITSELF AGAIN. WAY TO CRAZY...THEY DISABLE THE MOTOR CONTROL UNIT FOR THE SEAT. I AM GETTING IT SERVICED NEXT WEEK AT THE BELLEVUE WASHINGTON BMW DEALERSHIP. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WILL COVER IT...700 BUCKS... *TR
