Consumer Description
THE CAR OVERHEATED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I WAS TOLD ON JUNE 4TH THAT BMW WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD ISOLATED IT TO A SPECIFIC BATCH OF BAD FANS AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT FAN WAS FROM A GOOD CAR. THE REPLACEMNET FAN FAILED ON JULY 4TH AT 711 MILES. THERE IS STILL NO RECALL NOTICE FROM BMW. IF THEY AND YOU ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? CARS THAT CAN BREAK DOWN ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS AN INCONVENIENCE. THERE IS ALSO A REPORT IN YOUR DATABASE OF A CAR FIRE ON THE SAME MODEL CAR FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN? IF THIS WERE AN AIRCRAFT INCIDENCE THEY WOULD BE GROUND AND CORRECTED. I AM INTERESTED IN WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS WHEN THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN A CAR. *AK
