Between 11/04/16 and 11/08/16 I left my vehicle with reeves BMW dealership in tampa, fl for the takata airbag recall which they told me they completed. I continued to get warning letters from the NHTSA for this recall and recently I brought my car to a different BMW dealership which told me the reeves BMW dealership reported they completed the work and my airbag could not be changed under the recall. I took my airbag off the steering column and photographed the label on the back which shows the airbag installed in my car was produced in may 2010 which is part of the takata airbag recall batch and was prior to the assembly of my car at the factory. I am very angry this recall work was not completed by reeves BMW dealership as I was told and that I have been placed at unnecessary risk for

Clunking noise and vibration when turning right from a stop in cooler temperatures. *tr

2011 BMW DCT m3 engine turns off by it self while driving through intersection. Transmission goes into neutral. "n" pops up on the center cockpit. Steering wheel lock. Brakes work. Had to maintain foot on brakes. Have to push "engine start" button. Car starts up again. Engine stalling and shutting off is a safety hazard, especially if the car is in motion. Could cause death to end users or other people. Can cause property damages as well. This has happen twice within a 8 week period. Most recently on nov 26,2014 approximately 430pm BMW "auto start stop function" ruled out because the LED light above the button is lit, function is disable. *tr

The problem occurs when you slow down- like for a turn, but do not come to a complete stop. The DCT transmission seems to have trouble figuring out what gear to select because when you step on the gas to accelerate, there is a very significant delay in the onset of power- up to 2-3 seconds. By this time, the driver is usually really digging into the throttle. The transmission finally picks a gear, which results in the car suddenly lurching forward, sometimes invoking the anti-skip control. The danger in this behavior occurs when making a turn into on-coming traffic after slowing down to around 10-15 MPH. After the turn, the car is positioned in the traffic lane, but you have no power to accelerate into the flow of traffic. The oncoming cars are now closing in on your car at a fast rate

My car was in second wasn't speeding on a local street as I put it in 3rd gear my car shut off there was no sign of anything wrong with the car it would not start back up. I took it to BMW since I have warranty for 3 yeas mind you I only had this car for 5 months I got the car from the dealership in tenafly,nj I got the car at 31k miles on it and when my car last work which was last week it has 36k there telling I have to pay 26k up to fix . *tr

Driving in 60/MPH speed. When overtaking a truck; 'engine fault' warning light came-up. Vehicle transmission automatically turned to neutral. Engine was cut-off. Truck was about to rear-end my car. Unfortunately, no one was hurt (toddler was inside the car). I pulled over immediately and called the roadside assistance. Towed the car to dealership. I was informed today that this issue was due to 'faulty fuel pressure vacuum sensor'. I request NHTSA & BMW to investigate the issue and determine if a re-call is required. This seems to be a wide spread problem w/ similar model/year cars. *tr

At 63,860 mile the s65 engine in my 2011 BMW m3 failed. Dealer diagnosed engine bearing failure. Failure occurred while driving.

Engine knocking. Connecting rod bearing and main bearing failure resulting in required engine replacement. Engine not able to be rebuilt due to cracked main bearing saddles.

I was driving casually when the motor suddenly shut off. No noise indicating engine failure ever happened. I coasted off the road and tried to restart. Nothing but a click. Eventually tried replacing starter motor but that didn't work. No engine lights or codes ever popped up. Turns out engine seized due to failed rod bearings.

I was driving my vehicle under normal conditions traveling around 45mph. As I switched gears from 2nd to 3rd I noticed an immediate loss of power. My vehicle automatically shut off. I pulled over to the side of the road and was not able to restart my car. After the dealership checked the car they said there was an engine failure most likely due to rod bearing failure.
