BMW F800 S 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 02, 2010.BMW F800 S 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE . I AM WRITING YOU TO PLEASE URGE INVESTIGATION OF ALL BMW F800S AND F800ST MOTORCYCLES. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING A PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2007 F800S FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JUNE OF 2009. SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE, MY REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED CAUSING A SEVERE WOBBLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BEARING AND ECCENTRIC AXLE WHICH THEY SAY WAS "IMPROVED" WITH A HARDER STEEL IN THE AXLE. FAST FORWARD JUST OVER A YEAR LATER (12/2/10) MY REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME EXACT DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DESIGN SINCE MY LAST TIME THERE. THERE ARE COUNTLESS OF DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW THESE ARE FAILING FOR RIDERS ALL AROUND THE U.S. WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES AND BMW CLEARLY STATES THAT IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW ON THEIR PART AND HAS BEEN REFUSING ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM TO ITS OWNERS. PLEASE HELP. *TR.Mileage was 45000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10226057Z. Bmw F800 S 2007 problem was reported in IRVINE, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.

BMW F800 S 2007 car safety problem was reported on Mar 15, 2011.BMW F800 S 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . THE MOTOR ON MY 2007 BMW F800S STARTED KNOCKING IN THE SPRING OF 2011. THIS IS APPROX 6 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I BROUGHT THE BIKE IN TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FINE. THIS PROCESS WAS REPEATED TWO MORE TIMES. FINALLY THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER FOUND COMPLETE PISTON FAILURE (PISTON SLAP). THE PISTON SKIRT WAS GRINDING INTO THE CYLINDER WALL. BOTH THE PISTONS AND BARRELS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE BIKE. BASED ON VISUAL EVIDENCE OF THE DAMAGE I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST ONE ENGINEER THAT STATED IT CLEARLY STARTED HAPPENING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF OTHERS THAT OWN THE SAME VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE. I FEEL BMW IS TRYING TO AVOID DOING THE CORRECT THING BY NOT RECALLING THE ENGINE PARTS. BMW TOLD ME THE BIKE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR.Mileage was 13000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10226017Z. Bmw F800 S 2007 problem was reported in NISKAYUNA, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
