Consumer Description

I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN EMISSIONS RECALL FOR MY 1995 BWM 540I. I CONTACTED BMWUSA TO CONFIRM THE DATA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VECHICLE WAS LISTED AS A TOTAL LOST AND NOT COVERED. I REGISTERED THE CAR WITH BMWUSA WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 1999 AND WAS NOT INFORMED THAT THE CAR WAS LISTED AS TOTALLED. WHAT AVENUES DO I TAKE TO GET THE CAR ACTIVATED AGAIN IN THE SYSTEM? THE CAR IS INSURED, BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR IS ALREADY LISTED AS A TOTAL LOST? I PURCHASED THE VECHICLE IN 1999 UNAWARE THAT I WOULD ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH BMWUSA WOULD HAD INFORMED ME OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I REGISTERED THE VECHICLE WITH THEM IN NOVEMBER, 1999.*AK
