Consumer Description

DIESEL ENGINE, SCR PASSIVE TANK/SENSOR NEEDS REPLACE. BMW DEALER SAID ITS NOT COVERED IN THE WARRANTY (EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10Y/120K MILES, BUT SCR ACTIVE TANK/SENSOR IS COVERED. WHAT? MY MILEAGE 94K MILES). PASSIVE TANK STILL PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEMS. COST IS $3K REPAIR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND (BMW) PUT THE SENSOR BUILT INTO THE TANK. I'M SURE A LOT OF BMW OWNERS WILL RUN INTO THIS ISSUE COSTING LOTS OF DOLLARS AND PROFIT FOR BMW. NEED TO GET BMW TO COVER THIS COST.
