| Description of the problem | My wife own a 2006 bmw 325i, we bought it new, and since day one we complaint to our dealer that the engine knocks. We were told that they had similar complaints but can't fix the problem. Thus, they given us a pamphlet on how to start the car in the morning. Over, the years i have taken it back to the dealer but to no avail. We purchased our car at bmw of townson and do all of our services at russell bmw. Both dealers are in the state of maryland. They do have all the records of our services and complaint pertain to engine knocks. Recently, there are lots of recalls which initially car makers would not voluntary do it until it is scrutinize by nhtsa. I wonder if you would look into this issue. Thank you very much for your time and attention. I can be reach at [xxx] or my cell [xxx]. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
