| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Took my 2002 bmw 525i to have its driver side rails replaced to bmw of peoria in illinois about 2 weeks ago. about 1 week later (around may 5) at a stop light a large allen type bolt fell and rolled to my feet. this bolt was to my lap seat belt which i was now holding in my hand! the bolt was never tightened properly and i had been driving like this for around 1 week assuming my seat belt would work when needed. bmw of peoria was informed of this the same day, it was fixed by the next day. i wrote to bmw-usa about this issue and the response was very low key. mostly that they apologize for the inconvenience and to talk with my service manager to get this issue fixed. i don't think they even read the letter which mentioned reminding bmw service of proper work. just writing in hopes that no one else runs into this life threatening situation. *nlm |
