I RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME RESEARCH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA DO SOME FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THEIR OWN REGARDING BMW'S FAILURE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING LINKS TO SEE THE LIST OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HTTP://WWW.NOREVERSE.ORG/COMPLAINTS_COPY(1).HTML HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/BMW_TRANS.HTML - (OVER 643 COMPLAINTS) THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED EITHER LEGALLY OR THROUGH SOME SORT OF NEGOTIATION WITH BMW. *TR
I NEED TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE PUT IN FOR MY 2001 740I BMW DUE TO A CRACKED RADIATOR WHICH LED TO THE DAMAGE OF THE ENGINE BEYOND REPAIR. THE CAR HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT INJURED AND I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY EXPLAINING MY SITUATION. BMW REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEGE THAT THERE ARE SOME MAJOR DEFECTS WITH THE RADIATOR AND REFUSED TO HELP PAY FOR THE COST OF THE NEW ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY BMW OWNERS ESPECIALLY BMW 7 SERIES MODEL HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE'S ALSO A PETITION CONCERNING MAJOR DEFECTS WITH ALL BMW 7 SERIES' RADIATOR. THE DEFECTS HAVE CAUSED THE COSUMERS COSTLY REPAIRS NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATHS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION! REGARDS, CHI TRUONG
