2008 Bmw 3 SERIES Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1442671
Internal NHTSA #	11065287
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	3 SERIES
Model Year	2008
File date	25/10/17
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This is for 2 nhtsa recalls issued 10/25/17 and 10/30/17 nhtsa recall number17v676 and nhtsa recall number17v683. It is now 3 months later and bmw of north america still has no remedy available! Both recall statements caution that "over time" the part could deteriorate, leading to the car catching on fire. Since the car is 10 years old, i am concerned that the bmw definition of "over time" has been met, and therefore we are left with a non-driveable car due to their warnings. How long should one wait with no compensation, either mobility or financial?
