Consumer Description

EACH TIME I STARTED THE ENGINE , THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC, AND WAS TOLD THAT ENGINE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM SOMEWHERE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, INVOLVING THE PCV VALVE, WHICH ALSO RELATES TO LEAKAGE OF ENGINE OIL. THE RECALL POSES A FIRE RISK . I'VE CONTACTED BMW, THEY STATED "UNFORTUNATELY, THE PARTS AND PROCEDURES AREN'T AVAILABLE TO ANY DEALER YET. BMW IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON PRODUCING THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. " I HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME TO WHICH THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM , THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS ON THE NEWS OF BMW CARS THAT HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE , EVEN WHILE JUST BEING PARKED. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND I'M VER CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY.
