2014 BMW 320I Electrical System Problems

The electrical water pump that was just recalled on over 720,000 bmws is the same water pump on the 320is. My vehicle as of now has had issues with the pump completely going out causing high temperature issues with the motor while driving.

EVERY TIME IT'S COLD AND RAINS OR SNOWS MY LIGHT COMES ON FOR CHARGING MALFUNCTION AFTER I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON ITS FINE.

ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 18 2020 AROUND 3:30AM I WAS WOKEN BY MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS NOTIFYING ME THAT ME 2014 BMW WAS CURRENTLY ON FIRE IN A UNCONTROLLABLE BLAZE. FROM THE ENGINE BAY OF THE CAR DOWN TO MY FUEL TANK AND PUMPS WERE SHOOTING OUT FLAMES COVERING THE CAR ITSELF BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO RUN FROM MY ROOM TO MY CAR I CAN SEE THAT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. I PROCEEDED TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND PUT OUT THE FIRE MYSELF WHILE I WAITED FOR THEM TO ARRIVE, I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 8+ HOURS AND IT WAS SITTING AND PARKED IN FRONT OF MY DRIVE WAY. MY CAR SHOWED NO SIGNS OF CATCHING ON FIRE ON ITS OWN, IT JUST RANDOMLY CAUGHT ABLAZE, AFTER I PUT OUT THE FIRE AND TALKED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FROM FIRST...

I GOT MY 2014 BMW 320I XDRIVE 10 MONTHS AGO, LOVE THE CAR! BUT SINCE I'VE HAD IT, THIS HAS HAPPENED LIKE 5 TIMES NOW, WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF WITH THE FIRST PUSH OF THE BUTTON EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF INCLUDING ELECTRICAL WHICH ISN'T SUPPOSE TO SHUT OFF UNTIL THE 2ND PUSH OF THE BUTTON.
