Description of the problem | Engine malfunction. Engine operating at reduced output. Engine has malfunctioned numerous times. Shuts down to reduced output, without warning and without allowance for traffic conditions, only allowing for 4-5 mph travel. Extreme danger! Bmw has a "customer care package" that is a recall, although they are not calling it a recall. However, all parts of recall have been replaced on vehicle and now having to drive a vehicle that has not been fixed, that i am afraid to drive in traffic and do not trust to have enough power to merge onto interstate. Bmw is simply throwing parts at a serious problem that has the potential to harm thousands of people. |
