NHTSA Complaint #11694468 — 2010 BMW 335I

Good Morning Folks, I own a 2010 BMW 335i sedan with approximately 110k miles and I will have to be replacing AGAIN, the valve cover gaskets in the car. The first time I had to replace the VCGs was back in 2016 and the vehicle barely had 50k miles on it. Had to replace the VCGs again in 2020. Milage was approximately 92k miles. Fast forward to today and once again, the VCG are leaking. This is an obvious manufacturer defect and I would request that the NHTSA look into to this reoccurring problem with BMW North America. The replacement cost of the VCGs on these vehicles is costly and because it is happening so frequently, BMW should not only be required to cover the cost of replacement but should also be required to remedy the problem permanently. The leakage could lead to possible ignition and a fire within the engine compartment. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
