EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON 2006 BMW 330I. FIRESTONE SAYS THAT THE CUPPING OF THE TIRES (STARTING AT ABOUT 8K MILES) CAUSES LESS TRACTION ON THE ROAD AND WILL GET WORSE. THE TIRES STARTED TO MAKE LOAD NOISE AT ABOUT 8K MILES AND THEY NOW HAVE 13K MILES ON THEM AND THE NOISE LEVEL IS VERY BAD. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL CONSIDER REPLACING THE TIRES ONLY IF I WILL AGREE TO PAY HALF OF THE COST(ABOUT $600 MY COST FOR 4 TIRES). I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ONLY WITH THIS BRAND AND TYPE OF TIRE AND FIRESTONE NEEDS TO REPLACE THE TIRES. THE TIRES IN QUESTION ARE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL42, SIZE 205/55/R16 RUN FLATS. THIS CUPPING ON THESE TIRES CAUSES THE TIRE TO LOOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROAD AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON WET ROADS. *NM.Mileage was 8000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVB33506P.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 BMW M3 CONVERTIBLE WITH THE TOP DOWN AND SECURED ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR BOOT COVER WHICH STORES THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF OPENS ON IT'S OWN AND SLAMS AGAINST THE ROOF, WHICH I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE THUMP AND AIR RESISTANCE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. THE COMPLETE CONVERTIBLE MECHANISM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AFTER THIS EVENT, AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE NEAREST BMW DEALERSHIP WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE TO BEGIN WITH. AFTER A DAY OR SO, I WAS TOLD I HAD TO COME TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME BECAUSE THEY HAD TO HAVE A FACTORY REP INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD TAKE UP TO A FEW WEEKS. NOT UNTIL I CALLED BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS, DID THEY SAY IT WAS A MISTAKE BY THE TECHNICIAN AND THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND GET A RENTAL CAR. ON AUG 3, 2007 A LITTLE OVER A WEEK FROM THE EVENT, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, AND DID NOT STATE WHY? I BEGAN TO MENTION HOW I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, AND IT WAS AN OBVIOUS MALFUNCTION, AND I INSISTED THEY SEND ME DOCUMENTATION WHICH STATED WHY THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTINUED TO WAFFLE BACK AND FORTH, AND DID NOT SEND ME THE PROPER PAPERWORK BUT SAID HE WOULD CONTACT ME BY THE END OF DAY OR THE FOLLOWING MONDAY BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER FACTORY REP TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. *JB.Mileage was 9000 miles.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO BMW FOR 20,000 MILES ABOUT NOISY TIRES. THEY KEPT TELLING ME THAT IT NEEDS ROTATION AND DID SO. THERE WAS ALOT OF ROAD NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES AND BMW DID NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY. THEN MY HUSBAND GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT (JUST A FENDER BENDER) ON SEPT 8 OR 9TH OF 2007 WHEN THE TIRES WERE MAKING ALOT OF NOISE AND HIT A CEMENT POLE. INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD US THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM IN THE CAR REGARDING THE "TOE ADJUSTMENT" AND TO WHY THE TIRES ARE WORN SOOO BADLY. IT IS A CHASIS PROBLEM AND NOT A TIRE PROBLEM. THE FRONT 2 TIRES WERE ON THE VERGE OF A BLOWOUT. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW AND HAVE FAILED TO COMPLY AND SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES AND ALIGNMENT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WHILE I WAS RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. BMW NEEDS TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND REPLACE MY TIRES AND FIX THE PROBLEM IN TOE ADJUSTMENT. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Bmw 3 Series 2006 problem was reported in SADDLE BROOK, NJ.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 19, 2010.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . WHEN AN ADULT IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SERVICE INDICATOR, NO SEATBELT INDICATOR, AND "PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED" INDICATOR ARE ALL ILLUMINATED. WHEN TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE LOCAL BMW SERVICE CENTER TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THE CAUSE WAS A FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAT (HAVE DOCUMENTATION), WHICH IS MEANT TO DETECT WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT. IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD IN MY VEHICLES CURRENT STATE, IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER PRESENT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. WHILE PERFORMING INDEPENDENT RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT BMW HAS RELEASED AN OFFICIAL RECALL (#08V384000) WHICH DESCRIBES THESE SAME SYMPTOMS, CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAT. IN THE RECALL DETAILS, THE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR AND SEAT TYPE ALL MATCH THE SPECIFICATIONS OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER DISCOVERING THE RECALL INFORMATION, I CONTACTED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE BY TELEPHONE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, THE REPAIR MUST BE DONE AT AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT SENSOR REDUCES THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS VIOLATES AIR BAG REGULATIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE NHTSA. SINCE THIS IS A DEFECT, THE COST SHOULD BE COVERED 100% BY THE MANUFACTURER, BMW. *TR .Mileage was 44440 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVB33586A.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Nov 15, 2010.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . I HAVE A BMW 320D. A FEW DAYS AGO MY WIFE WAS OUT SOMEWHERE AND SHE LOCKED THE CAR IT WEREN'T LOCKING SO SHE OPENED THE DOOR AND THEN PRESS LOCK, IT LOCKED. WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE WAS TRYING TO UNLOCK IT BUT IT WEREN'T UNLOCKING. SHE HAD TO USE THE TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE FOB AND OPEN IT MANUALLY, THEN THE ALARM STARTED GOING OFF SO SHE HAD TO TURN THE CAR ON SO IT WOULD STOP. NOW ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE OPENS BUT YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT MANUALLY WITH THE KEY, HE REST WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE BMW GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WILL COST AROUND £600 TO REPLACE THE LATCHES. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND YOU DON'T EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN TO A £27,000 CAR AFTER ONLY HAVING IT FOR 3 YEARS. ALSO IF THEIR EVER WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR LATCHES STOPPED WORKING NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUT, THEY WOULD ALL HAVE TO RUSH OUT THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. *TR.Bmw 3 Series 2006 problem was reported in MANCHESTER, 00.

WENT TO UNLOCK DOORS IN 2006 BMW 330I AND THERE WAS A RAPID CLICKING SOUND IN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE POWER LOCKS FAILED TO RESPOND AFTERWARDS AND ALL DOORS REMAINED LOCKED. THE FOB, NOR THE INTERNAL UNLOCK BUTTON WOULD ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED AND ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE DID NOT WORK EITHER. ONLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED BY PHYSICAL KEY OR BY PULLING THE HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE. AN INITIAL ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE FUSE #57 WITH A 20A FUSE OVER THE ORIGINAL BLOWN 15A FUSE. *TR.Mileage was 67000 miles.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 28, 2010.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA ID #08V384000. THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, SEAT BELT LAMP AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "ON-OFF" LAMP WILL NOT TURN OFF . I CONTACTED BMW VIA THE PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT AND ALSO VISITED MY LOCAL BMW DEALER AND THEY BOTH SAY THAT MY CAR DOESN'T FALL UNDER SAID RECALL. MY CAR IS A BMW 2006 330I WITH SPORTS SEATS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CARS LISTED AS BEING DEFECTIVE BY YOUR DEPARTMENT. HOWEVER, BMW STATED THAT THE RECALL IS FOR A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF AIRBAG SENSOR MATTS THAT WERE DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING AND THAT MY CAR'S MATT WAS NOT PART OF THIS BATCH. SINCE MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE UNDER THE RECALL, AND IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE CARS LISTED IN YOUR REPORT, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT THE FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUE GOES BEYOND JUST THE BATCH BMW IS CLAIMING WERE DAMAGED. EVEN IF THIS IS TRUE, AND THAT SPECIFIC BATCH OF AIR BAG SENSORS WERE DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING, THEN WHAT'S TO SAY THAT MY AIR BAG SENSOR WASN'T ALSO DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING EVEN IF IT WAS PART OF ANOTHER BATCH. THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION, HOWEVER, WOULD INDICATE THAT THE SENSORS BEING DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING IS FALSE AND THAT THERE IS IN FACT A FLAW WITH THE SENSOR ITSELF. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE FACT THAT BMW PRODUCED AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE SENSOR AND THAT MY SENSOR THOUGH NOT PART OF THE SO CALLED DAMAGED BATCH IS ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. IF THE CAUSE OF THE FAULTY SENSORS WERE DUE TO BEING DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING THEN WHY NEED TO CREATE AN UPDATED VERSION. THE LOGICAL THING TO DO WOULD BE TO ENSURE THE SAFE DELIVERY OF THE SENSORS, NOT CREATE A NEW VERSION. I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME FEATURE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. BMW CLAIMING THAT THE SYMPTOMS OF MY SENSOR HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE DAMAGED BATCH IS JUST A COINCIDENCE IS A FAR CRY. AT THE VERY LEAST A NEW INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Dec 18, 2010.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . RECENTLY MY 2006 BMW 325I'S AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY (ONE MONTH) AFTER IT CAME OFF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AND I WAS EXTREMELY BUSY SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A MANUFACTURERS "VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN" I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE BUT NOTICED THE RECALL NOTICED THE RECALL EA08-001 MENTIONED CARS WITH SPORT SEATS AS PART OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED BMW NA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY. OVER TIME THE PROBLEM WORSENED AD EVENTUALLY LAST MONTH THE LIGHTS JUST STAYED ON. AGAIN CALLING BMW NA THEY SUGGESTED I VISIT MY DEALER TO HOOK UP THE CAR TO THEIR DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE SEAT MAT SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED IT FOR A TOTAL OF $990. I CONTACTED BMW INFORMING THEM THAT THE SEAT SENSOR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE RECALL AND I OFFERED TO PAY FOR PARTS IF BMW WOULD PAY FOR LABOR. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD INFORM ME OF THE CORPORATION'S DECISION IN 5 BUSINESS DAYS IF THEY WOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR THE REPAIR DUE TO MY VEHICLES LOW MILEAGE. I WAS JUST INFORMED TODAY THEY WOULD NOT COMPENSATE ME AT ALL TODAY DUE TO MY PAYMENT AFTER THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THEY ALSO ADDED THAT THEY ALMOST NEVER COMPENSATE AFTER SERVICES ARE PAYED. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTION MAT DISABLES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM IT IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM AS ACKNOWLEDGED BY BMW NHSTA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V-384 AND CONFIRMED BY THE NHTSA ENGINEERING ANALYSIS EA08-001. I BELIEVE THAT BMW IS NOT CONFORMING TO THE INTENT OF THIS RECALL PROGRAM AND IS LIMITING THEIR LIABILITIES DUE TO DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS . *TR.Mileage was 32836 miles.

MY BMW 300 SERIES WAGON (2006) HAD A BRAKE AND EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHT TURN ON. THERE WAS ALSO A SMELL OF BURNING OIL. MY MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS BROKEN ALUMINUM BOLTS ON THE CYLINDER. HE SAID HE PERSONALLY SEES THIS ALL THE TIME ON 2006 MODELS, THAT BMW IS AWARE, AND THAT THEY REDESIGNED THE PART FOR LATER YEARS. LIKEWISE, MY BMW DEALER IS AWARE OF IT AND A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH FINDS AT LEAST 1000 COMPLAINTS POSTED AT VARIOUS SITES ON THE WEB. ALUMINUM DOES NOT HOLD UP IN THIS SETTING AND THESE BOLTS COST MORE THAN$1200 TO REPAIR. I AM TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER 60K MILES WHICH MEANS MOST ARE OFF WARRANTY.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 Safety Review #10432687

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 20, 2011.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . I TOOK MY 325I 2006 BMW TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE AIR BAG PASSENGER WARNING LIGHT IN THE COMPUTER'S DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE PASSENGER SENSOR MAT UNDERNEATH THE SEAT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED&WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $900 TO FIX IT. I ASKED TO CHECK IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY RECALLS ON AIR BAGS FOR MY VEHICLE. I WAS ASKING THE QUESTION-WHY DOES AN AIRBAG NOT WORK? I WAS TOLD YES THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL BUT MY VIN# WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I ASKED WHY&HE SAID BECAUSE BMW ONLY RECALLED SO MANY OF THE 2006 325I VEHICLES TO FIX. I SAID THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT&BMW ONLY RECALLED CERTAIN ONES? THE ANSWER WAS YES.I DECIDED TO FOLLOW UP WITH BMW USA WHO CONFIRMED A RECALL FOR THE 2006 325I BMW SENSOR MAT&ONCE AGAIN SAID THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN#. I MADE IT VERY CLEAR OF MY FEELINGS WITH THEIR DECISION TO FIX CERTAIN VEHICLES AND NOT ALL THE VIN#S. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER & FOUND OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PASSENGER SENSOR MAT WARNING LIGHT AND VEHICLE VIN#S WHO ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU TAKE THIS MATTER INTO CONSIDERATION VERY SERIOUSLY. EVERYDAY DRIVERS TAKE PRECIOUS CARGO INTO THEIR VEHICLES CHILDREN&ADULTS. IF THERE IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH A VEHICLE THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL VIN#S OF THAT YEAR,MAKE&MODEL. THIS RECALL IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM FOR A CERTAIN#OF VEHICLES&EXCLUDING OTHERS. THE RECALL COST FOR BMW IS FAR LESS&AVOIDS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM IF THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. IF THE SENSOR MAT DOES NOT WORK, THE AIR BAG DOES NOT GO OFF. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW THE SENSOR MAT IS THE PROBLEM-THE ONE BMW INSTALLED-YET THEY WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT. I AM THE CONSUMER-SHOULD I PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DEFECTED-A INSTALLED LIFE SAVING DEVICE IN THE VEHICLE.NO,I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR .Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVB13556K.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 Safety Review #10478009

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 29, 2012.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . I WENT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM MARCHING BAND PRACTICE ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AT HER HIGH SCHOOL AND GOT OUT, I WENT TO LOCK THE DOORS. I HEARD A STRANGE SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS DOORS WERE LOCKED, THE PASSENGERS DOORS WERE UNLOCKED. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT WORK ANYMORE ON ANY OF THE DOORS BUT WOULD WORK ON THE TRUNK. I GOT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND CRAWLED OVER TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND TRIED THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE CENTRAL LOCK BUTTON ALSO WOULD NOT WORK. I CRAWLED OUT AND TRIED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WITH THE KEY. IT DID UNLOCK WITH THE KEY. NONE OF THE OTHER DOORS WOULD RESPOND FROM THE INSIDE. AFTER I GOT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO UNLOCK WITH THE KEY, MY KEY FOB WOULD WORK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ONLY. BECAUSE MY KIDS DECIDED TO "HELP MOM" BY PUSHING THE LOCKS DOWN MANUALLY - NOW ALL OF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND WON'T BUDGE EXCEPT THE DRIVERS SIDE.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 29, 2012.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I WENT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM MARCHING BAND PRACTICE ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AT HER HIGH SCHOOL AND GOT OUT, I WENT TO LOCK THE DOORS. I HEARD A STRANGE SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS DOORS WERE LOCKED, THE PASSENGERS DOORS WERE UNLOCKED. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT WORK ANYMORE ON ANY OF THE DOORS BUT WOULD WORK ON THE TRUNK. I GOT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND CRAWLED OVER TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND TRIED THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE CENTRAL LOCK BUTTON ALSO WOULD NOT WORK. I CRAWLED OUT AND TRIED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WITH THE KEY. IT DID UNLOCK WITH THE KEY. NONE OF THE OTHER DOORS WOULD RESPOND FROM THE INSIDE. AFTER I GOT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO UNLOCK WITH THE KEY, MY KEY FOB WOULD WORK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ONLY. BECAUSE MY KIDS DECIDED TO "HELP MOM" BY PUSHING THE LOCKS DOWN MANUALLY - NOW ALL OF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND WON'T BUDGE EXCEPT THE DRIVERS SIDE. I EFFECTIVELY CAN'T USE THE CAR FOR ANYONE EXCEPT MYSELF BECAUSE NO ONE CAN ENTER - AND MORE IMPORTANTLY EXIT FROM THE CAR EXCEPT FOR CRAWLING OVER SEATS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I HAVE A 2006 325I SEDAN WITH 55,856 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE ON 4-18-2013. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY ONLY BMW DEALERSHIPS IN ITS LIFETIME WITH ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE DONE ON SCHEDULE. THEY CALLED TO NOTIFY ME THAT UPON INSPECTION THEY HAD FOUND THE HEAD BOLT BROKEN BEHIND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING, THE OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKET LEAKING AND THE DRIVE BELT TENSIONER LEAKING. I HAD NOT BEEN EXPERIENCING ANY OUTWARD S+S OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY QUOTED ME $3400 TO REPAIR THIS. I WAS SHOCKED THAT A CAR IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION WOULD HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM AT THIS MILEAGE. I ASKED WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND ESSENTIALLY WAS TOLD IT IS UNUSUAL BUT DOES HAPPEN. THEY ADVISED A REPAIR IN THE FUTURE. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND THAT SUBSEQUENTLY BMW HAS CHANGED THE TYPE OF BOLT THEY USE. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD CALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE TO FOLLOW UP ON ANY ASSISTANCE FROM BMW. LONG STORY SHORT THEY TOOK THE COMPLAINT BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY FOR 3+ YEARS THEY WOULD OFFER NO HELP. YOU KNOW SHAME ON BMW THIS IS MY 4TH BMW AND VERY LIKELY MY LAST DUE TO THIS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GET TO THE 50,000 MILE + RANGE WHERE THIS PROBLEM SHOWS ITSELF. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55856 miles.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK MALFUNCTIONED AS EVIDENCED BY WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS IMMOBILE AND REQUIRED TOWING. COST FOR REPAIR = $1100.00. REPAIR SHOP SAID THERE WAS A CORE CHARGE FOR THE REPLACED UPPER STEERING COLUMN. THIS MEANS THAT BMW IS BUYING BACK THE MALFUNCTIONED UNITS TO EITHER DIAGNOSE, OR THEY'RE REBUILDING THEM AND MAKING MORE MONEY. EITHER WAY, IT'S AN KNOWN PROBLEM AND BMW ISN'T TAKING THE PROPER ACTION TO ENSURE OWNERS SAFETY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 93000 miles.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2013.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . MY VEHICLE (BMW 330I ? 2006), HAS AN AIRBAG/SEAT BELT LIGHT ELIMINATED ON THE DASH. BMW HAS DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. 2006 330I SPORTS SEATS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ITEM IN 2008. MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS SPORTS SEATS WAS NEVER CALLED FOR THE RECALL. THEY STATED MY VEHICLE'S VIN 'DOES NOT QUALIFY' FOR THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ALSO EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS ON ALL 3 SERIES MODELS WITH OUT THE SPORTS SEAT OPTION FOR THIS SENSOR. I HAVE TALKED A DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND BMW DIRECTLY. THEY SAID MY ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE TO WARRANT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND COMBINATION OF OPTIONS. BMW RECALL ID # 57362 - AIR BAGS: FRONTAL RECALL DATE AUG 05, 2008 RECALL DATE: AUG 05, 2008 MODEL AFFECTED: 2006 BMW 3-SERIES SUMMARY: BMW IS RECALLING 200,000 MY 2006 3 SERIES SPORT SEAT, MY 2004-2006 5 SERIES STANDARD AND SPORT SEAT, AND MY 2004-2006 X3 PASSENGER VEHICLES. DEPENDING ON THE MANNER AND FREQUENCY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER'S ENTRY AND EXIT, SMALL CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE MAT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAGS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HEAD PROTECTION SYSTEM, WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "ON-OFF" LAMP WILL BE ILLUMINATED. CONSEQUENCES: IN THIS SITUATION THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY EVEN IF A SUFFICIENTLY SEVERE ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REWORK THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAT SO THAT EXTERNAL FORCE APPLICATION TO THE SEAT DOES NOT CAUSE A CRACK TO THE MAT. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2008. BMW WILL ALSO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THESE VEHICLES TO 10 YEARS FROM FIRST REGISTRATION WITHOUT ANY MILEAGE LIMIT. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BMW AT 1-800-525-7417.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 08, 2011.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . SINCE SEPT 2011, WHILE DRIVING WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER, THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON-OFF LAMP ARE ILLUMINATED. IT GOES OFF ON ITS OWN, BUT RETURNS SPONTANEOUSLY. AT FIRST OUR DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEN WHEN IT KEPT HAPPENING THEY SAID WE COULD GET IT REPAIRED. PER SAFER.GOV WEBSITE A RECALL WAS GIVEN IN JULY 2009 WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE BMW OF NO AMERICA, OUR CAR WAS NOT AMONG THE CARS RECALLED. YET WE HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THEY WANT TO CHARGE US OVER $1100 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, YET THERE WAS A RECALL OUT ON "SOME SERIES 3 MODELS". HOW CAN I BE SURE SOME OTHER 2006 SERIES 3 MODELS ARE NOT OVER LOOKED? THIS MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGERS AND I DON'T FEEL IF SOME ARE DEFECTIVE, THAT OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE CONSIDERED THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK THEY SHOULD ALSO BE UNDER THE SAME RECALL GUIDELINES WHEN THE SAME EXACT ISSUE HAS BEEN SITED AND IS HAPPENING IN OTHER CARS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAVB33556P. Bmw 3 Series 2006 problem was reported in ALBUQUERQUE, NM. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 20, 2013.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I HAVE A 2006 BMW 325I THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL AND FROM WHAT I THINK IT IS THE BREATHER PIPE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS WILL GENERATE A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE EXPLODING OR ANY TYPE OF FIRE PROBLEM. THERE IS A PUDDLE OF FUEL EVERY TIME I PARK MY CAR. THE FUEL LEAK IS ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL IS ASCENDING. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A DESIGN FLAW,AND EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD AND MUST COVER THIS SAFETY CONCERN BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 62542 miles.

BMW 3 SERIES 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 11, 2013.BMW 3 SERIES 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with STEERING . RECEIVED YELLOW STEERING WHEEL AND LOCK ICON WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. ATTEMPTED USING DIFFERENT KEYS, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINED IMMOBILE. I EXITED THE CAR AND WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO TRY AGAIN, BUT RECEIVED YELLOW STEERING WHEEL WITH LOCK ICON AGAIN WHEN PUTTING THE KEY FOB INTO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS QUOTED ABOUT $1200 AS SOON AS I DESCRIBED THE YELLOW STEERING WHEEL AND LOCK, WITHOUT THEM HAVING SEEN THE VEHICLE. THE SA ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE NEWER MODELS DON'T EVEN HAVE THIS FEATURE AT ALL. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT A BMW RESPONSIBILITY OR DEFECT, AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHOP REPAIRS AND TIME. DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE DUE TO POOR DESIGN BY THE AUTO MANUFACTURER, SO MUCH SO THAT THE "FEATURE" ISN'T EVEN INCLUDED ON NEWER MODELS OF THE VEHICLE AT ALL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 149000 miles.
