| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On a 2002 bmw 1150rt there is a gasoline leak which drips directly on to the catalytic converter. it only leaks on the first start of the day. if run for a minute or two, shut off, and restarted, the problem goes away(?). after three contacts with the dealers (two of them) they have finally said they are aware of a problem with this model and it can be easily fixed. considering the potential for fire or even an explosion, i would think they would want to advise customers of this problem. also, their dealers. *jb |
