BMW 330XI 2003 Safety Review #10137615
BMW 330XI 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 25, 2005.BMW 330XI 2003, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with TIRES . ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED TIRE BLOW OUTS ON A TOTAL OF 4 TIRES ON MY 2003 BMW 330XI. ALL WERE CAUSED BY DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND STRIKING EITHER A POTHOLE OR A RAISED MANHOLE COVER. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ALSO CRACKED THE ALLOY WHEEL WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. BMW SAYS THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED AND THE "WHEELS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR HITTING POTHOLES". SINCE WHEN ARE CARS ONLY DESIGNED FOR OPERATING UNDER PERFECT CONDITIONS? TOTAL REPAIR EXPENSE HAS BEEN NEARLY $2000. THIS RESULTS FROM WHAT I BELIEVE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHEREBY VERY LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES ARE STANDARD ON CAR AND DO NOT OFFER SUFFICIENT IMPACT RESISTANCE LEADING TO EXPLOSIVE FAILURE OF TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FLAW AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL AND CONSUMER REIMBURSEMENT. OWNERS CANNOT VOLUNTARILY SIMPLY FIT DIFFERENT SAFER TIRES OFFERING MORE PROTECTION AS THE CARS TRANSMISSION, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ABS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED, PER BMW. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Bmw 330xi 2003 problem was reported in WEST CALDWELL, NJ.

BMW 330XI 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 15, 2007.BMW 330XI 2003, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with AIR BAGS . WE BOUGHT A BMW 330XI IN AUGUST 2003. IN APRIL AND JULY 2007, WE HAD THE AIRBAG SIGN COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE GOT IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME WE HAD IT AND IT WORKED WELL FOR A WHILE - NO SIGN. THEN THE SIGN CAME ON AGAIN IN JUNE. WE GAVE IT FOR REPAIR AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN REPAIRED IT AND TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED. OUR CAR WENT OUT OF WARRANTY IN AUGUST 2007. WE HAVE THAT SIGN COMING UP AGAIN SINCE SEPTEMBER 2007. WE GAVE FOR REPAIRS TO A NON-DEALER FACILITY (ABOUT SUMMER 2008) AND THE IT COULD NOT BE RESOLVED. THE REPAIR FACILITY TOLD US THAT THE AIRBAG SENSORS MAY BE GOING BAD REPEATEDLY AND HENCE THE SIGN COMES ON. WE BELIEVE THAT THESE SENSORS GOING BAD REPEATEDLY WHEN PERHAPS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG IS INDICATIVE OF FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. *TR.Mileage was 34800 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAEW53463P. Bmw 330xi 2003 problem was reported in MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

I MANAGED TO HAVE THE SUNROOF OPEN AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO HAND THEM MY KEYS WHERE THEY COULD PLACE THE KEY INSIDE OF THE KEY HOLE AND MANUAL UNLOCK THE DOORS. THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD. I ONLY CALLED THE POLICE SO THEY COULD TAKE NOTE OF THE ISSUE OF THE SAFETY. I HAVE TAKEN FAMILY OUT FOR OUTINGS ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY ALL HAVE TO CLIMB OUT OF WINDOWS OR THROUGH THE DRIVERS DOOR. I'VE EVEN HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF MY OWN CAR I REFUSE TO PUT A DIME INTO FIXING THIS AS ITS CAUSED ME EMBARRASSMENT TO THE POINT I HARDLY DRIVE IT UNLESS I GO SOMEWHERE ALONE. I EVEN HAVE A SEAT BELT THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR NO REASON. THE GM5 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMAGE IF I HAD A CHILD OR FAMILY BACK THERE THE CAR WAS ON FIRE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM OUT IS TO OPEN THE DOOR AND YOU CAN'T BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 79000 miles.
