| Description of the problem | Took my bmw to the dealership because my battery had to be replaced (due to service light on instrument panel) and was told after i picked up my vehicle it also had two other service problems: 1. Oil filter housing needed to be resealed a $400. 00 job and 2. Alternator tensioner needed to be replaced a $650. 00 job. I did not do the repair. Came home, got on internet and did research. There are many customers who are complaining about these repairs, and they also stated that they were told of these same two items to be serviced after having a new battery installed in their bmw's. Supposedly, bmw is aware of this problem but don't feel the need to recall. I feel that this should be investigated because it doesn't make since that all customers who have to replace their battery is being told to service the same items. |
