| Description of the problem | The fuel leaked all over my garage after i filled it just minutes later when i got home. Had to call the fire department so they could stabilize the area to make it safe. What a hideous and potentially dangerous and deadly failure for a car to have!! The car was then towed to the dealer (where it was front ended -and no one claimed responsibility so i had to file through my own insurance! What a scam! The dealership - patrick bmw in schaumburg, il had the fuel leak fixed under warranty and said that the fuel pump/fuel leveler had failed so they replaced it. *nm |
