| Description of the problem | Rear windows. I bought my 2006 bmw 325i in may 2015 with 60k miles. In august 2015 i replaced my rear driver side window regulator after i heard a loud pop and my window rolled down and wouldn't roll back up. I was rolling down my window to enter my gate code at my apartment, and hit the rear button by mistake. I had to go a nerve wracking week with my window stuck down, hoping no one would steal it. In december 2016 the same rear driver window rolled down and wouldn't roll up. This time, when i tried to roll it back up i couldn't hear the window motor trying so i replaced the motor. In march 2017 my rear passenger window regulator failed. When i attempted to roll it back up i hear a cracking noise, so i knew it was the regulator. Here we are today, april 30, 2017, my rear driver side window is stuck down and will not roll up. So i must go another week with my window stuck down. This time i'm hoping someone will steal this garbage vehicle. How can these faulty parts still be around? The entire time in have owned this vehicle i have had at least one window saran wrapped. I have a 1 year old and this is extremely concerning to me. In the event of an accident i believe this does pose a safety risk. I have never heard of any vehicle having this recurring issues. Let alone by a manufacturer who claims to be of superior quality. What a joke. Never buy a bmw, they do not stand behind their products or their customers. |
