| Description of the problem | Just paid $419. 53 for repair on my 2004 bmw 3 series for tail lamp connections and grounds. I understand that this defect is under investigation in number ea09-019. Please include me and inform me when i can submit paid bill, as i was terrified while driving in fl on turnpike when a light on my dashboard showed my rear brakes were failing. I immediately found fields bmw jin winter park fl and brought it there. They were aware of defect and told me that their fix would include grounding other rear brake light to prevent other side from failure. Thank you |
