Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had various problems with my bmw z3 2000''internal water pump failure while on the freeway, rattling noises in the car because of the braking system, etc. additionally, i have continually had the same problem year over year since i've owned the vehicle--the srs light on the dash coming on due to the seat belt tensioner being faulty. on service dates 8/22/03, 12/05/03, 12/18/03, 1/10/04, 3/20/04, 9/10/04, 1/24/05, i have had the srs problem fixed''and the problem has yet to be repaired. the last time i came in (1/24/05), i talked with the service manager about the srs problem and he told me that the problem with the srs light should be fixed and should be covered under warranty, so i don''t have to worry about it. i am scheduled to go in the week of july 11th for the srs problem, along with engine problems. the seat belt tensioner actually holds a person in place--even when they shouldn't be held in place.
