Consumer Description

ON FEB 20, 2020, I TOOK MY CAR TO BMW DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD A LEFT REAR SIGNAL AND BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF APPROXIMATELY 600.00. BASED UPON MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS ISSUE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE CIRCUIT BOARD, CONNECTOR, AND WIRING MUST BE REPLACED. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR OLDER MODEL BMW'S. PLEASE REFERENCE 13V407000 AND 17V6766000. BMW ALSO ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE REFERENCE SIB63-0611. ALSO REFERENCE 11V-438 CAMPAIGN. IT IS APPARENT THAT BMW'S ARE STILL BEING PRODUCED WITH THE GROUND WIRING ISSUE. IF YOU VISIT BIMMERFEST, YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY BMW'S FROM 2010- 2014 ARE STILL BEING EFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. IF OLDER MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, NEWER ONES WITH THE SAME ISSUE SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED, AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT, AND LEFT REAR SIGNAL LIGHT WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM REQUESTING THAT BMW PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, NOT OPERATOR ERROR OR WEAR AND TEAR. PLEASE REFERENCE THE COMPLAINT FILED ON 3.3.20 11315965.
