2011 BMW 335d owner complaints

Blower motor wiring: this recall involves the wiring for the system, known as the blower-motor, that controls air flow for the heating and air conditioning system. Over time, the connection between the wiring and this system could deteriorate and, in rare cases, could lead to overheating. The blower system also leaks some type of oil which my mechanic indicated could also lead to a fire with the blowing motor wiring short circuiting. A few months back the heating/air conditioning system suddenly stopped functioning, it sent a strong smell of plastic and rubber burning throughout the vehicle interior. Also I have not received any letter regarding the recent recall from BMW, which my vehicle is also listed under that recall. Haven't I done any research on this I would still be driving my car

The vehicle continues to stahl and now the dealer said it was the high/low fuel pumps and injectors which cost more than the vehicle. I am stuck making payments this car is junk and the car needs to be recalled...... Every month I have a problem since october the vehicle has been in the shop 12 times. The injectors, fuel pump I was told the catalytic converter, injectors and now fuel pump

Received initial recall notice from BMW december 2017. As of may 27th 2018 a remedy is still not available to correct electrical issues that could cause a possible fire. BMW is able to provide parts to produce new auto's but makes little effort to correct know issues on the autos that it has already sold.

My 2011 BMW 335d sedan has a recall on the blower motor wiring harness that could catch fire anytime, even when the car is parked and off. I have been unable to drive my car for over 2 months at this point, (while still making my high car payment) and parts are still not available, and no idea when they will be. Do I have any recourse for my loss? BMW north america says no, they are providing an enterprise rental car which is all they can do.

Twice I've lost power on the freeway due to what I believe is the positive battery cable losing connection to the front fuse box. Even though this has been recalled in other 2008 to 2011 3-series models BMW has refused my requests to repair this under recall.

The front passenger seatbelt sensor malfunctions and sets off the warning sound as if someone is siting in the seat when nobody or nothing is in the seat. This may cause airbag malfunctions or have it not deploy. This has been happening since the first day I bought the car several weeks ago. The issue is constant while I'm driving.

Takata. Resolution by closest BMW dealer, BMW of bellevue, washington, is indicating a may 2018 date for replacement. I feel that this is an inordinately extended time on top of the already long time for the replacement product.

I have a passenger restraint system fault affecting airbag, belt tensioner.

- The component that has failed is the front passenger seat occupancy sensor, as indicated by an OBDII scan showing fault code 93C3, seat-occupancy detector, passenger. - The safety of any person in the front passenger seat is compromised because the passenger airbag will not deploy while this sensor is not operating properly, as indicated by the "passenger airbag off" light which is now always illuminated. The vehicle has not been in an accident and nobody has been injured as a result. - The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. - The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, etc. - There is a restraint system malfunction warning message stating "Fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner, or belt-force limi

Intermittent fault on passenger restraint system affecting passenger airbag and belt tensioner. My car was not included in the recall for earlier e90 models with the sport seats. First fault occurred with approximately 118,000 miles on the car and has happened occasionally for the last 10,000 miles. Fault code 0093c3

Fine, white particles are blowing out of the cabin air ducts whenever the air conditioner or fan is turned on. My local BMW service center, Herb Chambers BMW of Boston, determined that the debris is flakes of aluminum from the deteriorated aluminum alloy fins of the AC evaporator coil and heater exchanger. The cabin air ducts were scoped and found to be intact with no intrusion of outside contaminants. The dealer determined that if not replaced, “the A/C Evaporator will fail…” and quoted the cost of repairs at $5,286.18. As I am sure you are aware, aluminum is a neurotoxin when absorbed by the body. The science is well established and can be easily sourced using Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C22&q=neurotoxicity+of+aluminum&oq=neuroto. The fine alumin

The car is in the shop every week I have had it towed 12 times since may. I took it in for the recall (electrical issued recently) the vehicle ran great, now the dealership says I need 3 new injectors. The injectors are bad. I am reading reviews and others stated their BMW's need new injectors. So is their a recall for injectors I did not see? The car stahled while I was driving it stopped in the middle of the road.

Less than 70k miles and had to replace manifold, injectors etc due to excess carbon BMW needs to do more to address the issue of pollution on these vehicles

While coming to a stop in a parking lot the steering became difficult and the smell of burning rubber was present. Had the car been going a high rate of speed it would have been disastrous.

Whilst driving vehicle, battery warning light, brake warning lights came on. Vehicle lost all power steering, and was impossible to drive. After visit to dealership, appears that harmonic balancer was completely broken off, in turn, taking out various belts, including the belts that power a/c and most importantly power steering. BMW already replaced these belts twice, under warranty. Unfortunately, it appears the harmonic balancer appears to be an issue for many of the 335d vehicles, as well as for x5 savs, equipped with same engine. Complete loss of powersteering, is an unacceptable danger, in particular for a part that appears to be weak (design flaw), as documented by other BMW 335d owners.

While driving the car the reduced power message came on, drove car for another 15 minutes home, at home in the driveway opened the hood and saw that the engine was glowing red on passenger side, very hot under the hood, within minutes flames ignited and black smoke came from under the hood. We ran for water hose and put out the fire. Vehicle now has multiple error messages due to damaged wire harness according to BMW dealer, wire harness will need to be replaced before full understanding of the condition of the car can be determined.

I've had to replace the EGR module to avoid catastrophic results. An identical issues resulted in a recall from BMW for diesels from other years: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/BMW-recalls-diesel-cars-and-suvs-for-fire-risk/ . However, BMW has chosen not to expand the recall to cover this engine failure in all of the diesels. It's potentially only a matter of time before this starts to show up with increased frequency.

Years of my 335d overheating and stalling and dealer cant figure out the issue. I’ve replaced injectors, done carbon blasting, replaced nox sensor, replaced whole battery/electrical components. Just recently replaced the all belts, hoses, and EGR module to avoid catastrophic results. After removing the components you can see fluids got mixed and even got into my turbo all because of the EGR was leaking. So many identical issues resulted in recalls from BMW for almost every single model from early 2000s to new models due to faulty egrs, except the 2011 335d. And of the nearly 1 million vehicles recalled by BMW this year alone, only the 2011 335d is not recalled for faulty pcv and EGR which was finally determined by the dealer to be the cause of my overheating, black particles coming from th
