| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: (1) in everyday driving, i heard a creaking noise in the rear end of my 1999 bmw 328i. (2) i found that the left rear subframe has started to shear away from the chassis making the car only drivable for only short distances, if at all. (3) i brought it to the dealer to see if they would cover the cost of repair as a goodwill gesture and they said no. i then appealed to bmw north america and they sent out a body technician who also denied the repair. the car was approx. one year and 10000 miles over warranty. no parts were replaced nor any repairs made. this is a defect in the workmanship of the car and it is documented on the web forum www.bimmer.roadfly.org. *nm |
