| Description of the problem | The problems i am having with my car include: high rpms when accelerating, massive gas consumption which i can provide bank statements to prove, massive coolant consumption, numerous oil leaks, rough idling, engine rattling, foul smell of vapors in the car while running, and constant car shaking. My car will cut off completely if the a/c is turned on or if sitting at a red light, so in return i would have to put my car in park while sitting at red lights. All of this is due to the pcv valve. This recall was not made aware to me if though i took my car to get serviced at the bmw dealership after the recall was announced. This is why i asked for goodwill assistance from bmw. Once my car was taken in to fix the recall bmw told me they would not help financially with the repairs of my vehicle due to the fact of the year and mileage. Corporate told me this after i had to chase them down all day because the dealership told me they needed a answer by 12pm and needed the loaner vehicle back. Once i received the answer of no i asked cody campbell if the recall was fixed . He replied saying yes. I drove to the dealership to then be sent back home because they said they were sealing some of the leaks for safety purposes. I found this odd because if you looked online and still look now as of 10:09pm on 10/05/2019 the recall still has not been fixed. |
