2016 BMW X3
  • Date of Incident: Aug-13, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-26, 2024
  • Failed components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Bmw has failed to issue a remedy for the coolant pump that may lead to fires, if not replaced. For months now, i have called several bmw dealerships and they do not have an idea of when bmw would issue a remedy. Bmw needs a push from the nhtsa to address this recall instead of looking to the other side because the car's date is 2016. If they cannot fix that hazard, then they must replace vehicles.

2019 BMW X3
  • Date of Incident: Nov-27, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-20, 2024
  • Failed components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, and STRUCTURE:BODY

My 2019 bmw x3 posted this error on the instrument display "emergency call system malfunction". Bmw service informed me that the shark fin roof mounted antenna is leaking. It causes issues with the sos feature, navigation (reporting wrong location). There are numerous complaints on bmw owners message boards with the same problem. There is at least one bmw service information bulletin (sib) that applies to this issue for my vehicle. It is number b65 12 22. I was told this issue is not covered under my certified pre-owned warranty. This is a safety issue affecting thousands of bmw owners. Bmw should do the right thing, issue a recall on the affected models and repair this problem. Thank you.
