BMW 3 SERIES 2002 Safety Review #10230495
BMW 3 SERIES 2002 car safety problem was reported on June 10, 2008.BMW 3 SERIES 2002, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . FOR SEVERAL YEARS PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF WITH THE BMW E46 ('99-'05 3 SERIES) HAVE COMPLAINED OF INTERMITTENTLY DEFECTIVE TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNALS. RESULT: NO ACTION TAKEN. THE FOLLOWING WEB SITES DOCUMENT A MERE FRACTION OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS LIKELY TO AFFECT WARM STATES MORE THAN COOLER AREAS. IN MY CASE, IN HOT WEATHER THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT CLUSTER WILL FAIL TO ILLUMINATE--NO TURN SIGNAL, BRAKE LIGHT OR TAIL LIGHTS ON ONE OR BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. THE REASON: BMW USED A GROUNDING WIRE WHICH WAS FAR TOO SMALL TO CARRY THE CURRENT, THUS RESULTING IN MELTED WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS ON BOTH TAIL LAMP CLUSTERS. FOR DETAILS, PLEASE SEE THE MANY PHOTOGRAPHS AND TEXT AT THESE WEB SITES: HTTP://WWW.BIMMERFEST.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=244598&HIGHLIGHT=TAILLIGHT+WIRING AND HTTP://FORUM.E46FANATICS.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=533309&HIGHLIGHT=MELTED+TAIL+LIGHT AND HTTP://FORUM.E46FANATICS.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?S=0FEDAEF77A3622F393734BA4B57ADD7C&T=512469&PAGE=2 BMW HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT INCLUDES A WIRING MODIFICATION: HTTP://WWW.BMWTIS.COM/TSB/BULLETINS/BULLETIN_GRAPHIC_TEMP/B630306G.HTM DESPITE AT LEAST 4 VISITS TO VARIOUS BMW DEALERS WHILE UNDER MY CAR'S FOUR YEAR WARRANTY, THEIR SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM NEVER LASTED LONG. FURTHERMORE, NO BMW DEALER EVER INSTALLED THIS SPECIAL WIRING KIT FROM BMW. NOW THAT I'M OUT OF WARRANTY A LOCAL BMW DEALER IS MORE THAN WILLING TO CHARGE ME $600 TO INSTALL THIS SPECIAL WIRING KIT SO THAT REAR LIGHTS WILL CONSISTENTLY WORK. FMVSS 108 IS PRETTY CLEAR: FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES CARS TO HAVE WORKING LIGHTS. WHEN THERE ARE SYSTEMIC FAILURES OF A SAFETY SYSTEM SUCH AS BRAKE LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, ETC., AND THE MANUFACTURER FAILS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A VOLUNTARY RECALL, IT THEN BECOMES TIME FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET INVOLVED. FOR DETAILS ON FMVSS 108, PLEASE REFER TO THE VARIOUS LINKS HERE: HTTP://FMVSS108.TRIPOD.COM/ *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 15000 miles.

TOOK THE CAR TO BMW AND WAS TOLD ONE OF TWO COMPUTERS WASN'T MAKING THIS SAFETY FEATURE WORK. COST OF ONE WAS $1700.00 BUT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD BE THE PROBLEM AND I MIGHT NEED TO THEN HAVE A NEW 2ND COMPUTER AT $3400.00. OR A TOTAL OF $5100.00, I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN GENTLY. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT THEY ADVERTISED AND WAS ONE OF MY REASONS FOR BUYING THE CAR, I FEEL THIS AUTO AND AUTO FEATURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL SO IT CAN BE FIXED EITHER FREE OR AT A REASONABLE COST.
