2005 BMW 325I Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	904002
Internal NHTSA #	10445682
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	325I
Model Year	2005
File date	29/10/10
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Faulty or inadequate ground wire which burned 8-pin connectors and bulb-holders in both rear quarter panels. Dealer installed "additional ground connection to the circuit of the lamps" at no charge on 1/19/12, but i am still fighting with corporate office in nj for reimbursement of $271. 35 incurred in replacing the other burned out parts prior to the recall in december. My research revealed that section 6(b) of the tread act requires manufactures to include funds for reimbursement of repair expenses prior to recall in a recall plan. Also, the "final rule" passed by the national highway traffic safety administration in october 2002 states that "for those recalls where there is a reasonable possibility that some consumers will be entitled to reimbursement, the main body of the owner notification must include a concise reference to the right to reimbursement for the cost of repair or replacement, along with a description of where consumers who believe they may be entitled to such reimbursement can obtain further information about reimbursement." there was no reference to the right of reimbursement in bmw's notification letter, and two dealers (their "eyes and ears in the field," per a corporate representatively words to me) have said they "know nothing about it" and "will get back to me," which neither one has done. Although i may very well still get my $271. 35 reimbursed (am waiting to hear), i can't help but wonder about all the other 2005 325i owners out there!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
