| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The seat does not lock on the track, it shifts back and forth while accelerating or braking, it was a defect when manfured but manufacturer will not correct, many z 3 owners have the problem, i feel it could cause an accident or kill someone, if it was a us company like gm, ford, or chry i know they would have repaired the defect, why do we allow foreign companies to get away with producing a defective vehicle we would not allow one of our companie to produce. my wife is afraid to drive the car because of this faulty seat. by the way bmw has agreed it was a defect and should be repaired but they want to get another $4-500 bucks to fix a problem that was plainly a design and manufacturing problem by their own admission. i ask you help on behalf of all those z 3 owners who might end up in an accident. i have written bmw but they did not even give me the courtesy of an answer. help please. *ak |
