| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought this vehicle in mid april, 2006. a month after my purchase i began to notice creaking sounds coming from the rear of the car under normal acceleration, primarily in 1st gear. upon further inspection i found the rear subframe to be tearing from the unibody on the driver's side. this is a major safety issue and must be addressed before someone gets seriously injured. too many people ignore tell tale signs coming from their vehicles, if bmw is unwilling to do anything for the repair, the least they could do is send a notice to recommend an inspection to any 3-series owner. repairing this costs money, not life and limb. please bmw and the nhtsa, lets keep it that way. *nm |
