2008 Bmw 3 SERIES Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	824429
Internal NHTSA #	10362405
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW

Model Year	2008
File date	23/10/10
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2008 bmw 328i, still under factory warranty, required a new battery. I was denied warranty/maintenance coverage for the battery due to my 'driving profile' - i drove more than 100 trips of less than 5km in the last 36 days. However, i drove a total of 2420 miles in the last 32 days, as indicated on two car repair receipts. Bmwna stated that due to me driving such short distances, the battery was unable to charge properly. This sounds like an engineering defect, not a driver-related issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
