Consumer Description

I began to receive an “emergency call malfunction” notification on my vehicle. I took it in to be serviced and received this text when I was due to pick up my vehicle “Good morning! Okay, and as far as the TCB we were talking about for the emergency call malfunction.. It looks like there is water coming in through the antenna there (the shark fin, with that being said we would have to replace the shark fin, the tcb and the tcb battery, which is not cheap, out the door that alone is $3,178 installed.. --Kenndehl Swanson Classic BMW MINI” I researched and noticed there was a class action filed with NHTSA against BMW for this very issue for X3’s from 2017-2023. I would like my vehicle to be included in this class action lawsuit. BMW has stated that they were aware in the lawsuit.
