BMW 328CI 2000 car safety problem was reported on Feb 29, 2012.BMW 328CI 2000, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS . THE ISSUE I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT WITH MY VEHICLE IS A CRACKED SUBFRAME. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND THERE WAS A LAWSUIT CREATED ON BEHALF OF BMW OWNERS AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE (SEE SETTLEMENT WEBSITE BELOW). WWW.E46SUBFRAMECLASSACTIONSETTLEMENT.COM THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT I TURNED MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION WITH MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP (EAST BAY BMW OF PLEASANTON, CALIFORNIA) WELL BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE LAWSUIT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SUBFRAME ISSUE DID NOT EXIST. MONTHS LATER AFTER HEARING REPEATED NOISES TOWARD THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED THE SUBFRAME ISSUE EXISTED. I INFORMED THEM THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN INSPECTED BEFORE AND THEY DID NOT FIND THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THE ISSUE TO BMW NORTH AMERICA TO SEE IF THE ISSUE WOULD BE COVERED. BMW NORTH AMERICA OFFERED TO ONLY PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HOW DOES BMW NORTH AMERICA OFFER TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP INSPECT A VEHICLE, FAIL TO FIND THE ISSUE, HAVE THE ACTUAL VEHICLE PROBLEM APPEAR (EVEN WORSE MONTHS LATER), AND THEN REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE REPAIR? *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 108958 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBABM5343YJ. Bmw 328ci 2000 problem was reported in LIVERMORE, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

THE REAR SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY TORE OFF AT THE LEFT REAR DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE MOUNT POINTS, RENDERING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BMW OF NORTH SCOTTSDALE (SCOTTSDALE, AZ) INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND VERIFIED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY. INSPECTIONS BY BMW OF NORTH SCOTTSDALE, PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE COLLISION, AND MERCURY AUTO INSURANCE AGENTS FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF IMPACT. THE CONSENSUS OF EXPERT OPINION IS THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO METAL FATIGUE, AND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH BMW E46 3 SERIES AUTOMOBILES. THE INEVITABLE SUBFRAME FAILURE IN THESE CARS, IN MANY INSTANCES HAVING OCCURRED AT LOW ODOMETER MILEAGE, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND CONSEQUENT LOSS OF LIFE. I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE IN MY CAR BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED, BECAUSE BMW HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 150205 miles.
