BMW 530IA 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 08, 2003.BMW 530IA 2003, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN . MY 4 MONTH OLD 2003 BMW 530IA SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE STARTING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE SITTING OUT ON MY DRIVEWAY NEXT TO MY HOUSE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AND HAD BEEN OFF FOR 3.5 HOURS. BMW 5 SERIES CARS HAD FIRES JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN 2001 MODELS AND BMW ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE AT THAT TIME BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AUXILIARY COOLING FAN SWITCH. THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE ANY OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT EVEN THOUGHT THEIR REP, JERRY GASPARRINI TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN 2001 BASED ON THEIR ENGINEER'S ASSESSMENT. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY HOUSE BURNING DOWN AND POSSIBLY ALSO FATALITIES. WE WERE LUCKY. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND THE RESPONSIBLE SUPPLIER NEEDS TO BE SMACKED DOWN GOOD AND FINED HEAVILY. *JB.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4800 miles.

BMW 530IA 2003 Safety Review #10342367
BMW 530IA 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 16, 2009.BMW 530IA 2003, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . AT 84,220 MILES THE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DIAGNOSIS WAS P0741 (BMW CODE 48) WHICH IS A FAULT WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC). THIS FAILURE UNTIL CORRECTED RESULTS IN LOWER FUEL MILEAGE, AND A GUARANTEED FAILURE TO PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST DURING STATE MANDATED VEHICLE INSPECTIONS. ADD TO THIS THAT CONTINUED USE OF THE VEHICLE WILL LIKELY RESULT IN TRANSMISSION DAMAGE SINCE THE TCC LOCKUP CLUTCH IS SLIPPING RESULTING IN DEBRIS BUILDING UP IN THE FLUID. THIS FAULT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SEAL THAT BMW HAS A HIDDEN SERVICE BULLETIN ON. SEE SI 24 03 06 DATED FEBRUARY 2008. REPLACEMENT OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS EXPENSIVE. BMW DEALER QUOTED A BIT MORE THAN $3000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I'VE SINCE DETERMINED THOUGH A BMW FORUM THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF FAILURES TAKING PLACE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE SEAL IN QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED AND THAT FAILURE OF THE SEAL WILL LIKELY TAKE PLACE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. *TR.Mileage was 86220 miles. Bmw 530ia 2003 problem was reported in ACTON, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.
