2006 BMW 3 Series Complaint Log

BLOWER TO HEATER/AIRCONDITIONING AND OVERHEATING. MOTOR MAKING LOUD SOUND WHEN AIR OR HEATER IS KN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 325I. THE CONTACT SMELLED SMOKE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH CRITZ BMW OF SAVANNAH (7009 ABERCORN ST, SAVANNAH, GA 31406, (912) 354-7000) AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR RECALL WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND BMW WOULD NOT HAVE PARTS FOR SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,650. * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENTS) TS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 325I. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL WHINING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT CALLED HANSEL BMW OF SANTA ROSA (2925 CORBY AVE, SANTA ROSA, CA), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE CITY AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATES A POSSIBLE FAILURE WITH THE AIR BAGS.

VERY LOUD NOISE (FAN NOISE) COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED FROM A COLD START. CAR IS DRIVE-ABLE BUT SEEMED TO LOSE SOME POWER. THE NOISE MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK DURING THE NEXT START. A FEW SIMPLE SEARCHES ON GOOGLE AND FROM VARIOUS BMW FORUMS INDICATED THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2006 BMW 330I E90 SEDANS AND PROBLEM SEEM TO BE THE FAULTY WATER PUMP AND FAULTY THERMOSTAT. AS THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT NOR ANY TELL SIGNS, THE CAR COULD GO FROM FULL PERFORMANCE ON THE FREEWAY TO LIMP MODE (FORCEFUL SLOW-DOWN MODE) IN THE MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS DUE TO OVERHEATING OF THE WATER PUMP, AND IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE HIDDEN ERROR CODES MAY BE DISCOVERED WITH A VEHICLE SPECIFIC SCANNING TOOL BUT THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT OR ERROR LIGHT WHATSOEVER TO WARN THE OWNER UNLESS THE CAR IS BROUGHT IN TO THE SHOP AND BEING SCANNED WITH THE PROPER SCANNING TOOL. BUT IF THERE IS NO WARNING/ERROR LIGHT, NO ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SCANNING.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF AND ON AT NO PRESCRIBED INTERVAL. THE WARNING LIGHT FLICKERS OFTEN WHICH IS A CONCERN SINCE THE AIRBAG CAN TURN OFF WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY NEEDED IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR DRIVING - NO PRESCRIBED INTERVAL HAS BEEN NOTED AND WAS FIRST NOTICED EARLY THIS SPRING, MARCH OR APRIL 2018 WITH ABOUT 110,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 330XI. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V676000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE, LIFTED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COOLANT AND EXPANSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

LETTER FROM CONSUMER REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED (RECALL 17-V; POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE HEATER). *AS

I BELIEVE THE SEAT SENSOR IN MY 2006 BMW 325I FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS FAULTY. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, THE LIGHT COMES ON THAT SHOWS THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ON AND ALSO THAT THE PASSENGER IS NOT BUCKLED, WHETHER THEY ARE BUCKLED, OR THERE ISN'T A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT AT ALL. WHETHER I AM STATIONARY OR DRIVING/MOVING AT ANY SPEED, THOSE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, AND WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME, THEN THEY COME BACK ON AGAIN. I AM IN A CARPOOL SO I FREQUENTLY AM THE DRIVER AND I HAVE SOMEONE IN THAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURIES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. NEWER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THIS SEAT SENSOR ON RECALL, SO THE 2006 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT ON 1-21-18, WHEN IT CAUGHT FIRE

OIL KEEP LEAKING OUT OF TRAINING. IT WAS FIXED TWICE SO FAR. BACK BRAKE LINE KEEPS BREAKING WHEN YOU DRIVE IN SNOW.

CAR WAS DRIVING WHEN YELLOW STEERING COLUMN LOCK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON STREET. MALFUNCTION OF INTEGRAL LOCK SENSOR IN STEERING COLUMN ELV ECU HARDWARE STEERING LOCK ERROR STEERING COLUMN LOCK YELLOW COLOR LEADS TO RED WHICH TOTALLY RENDERS CAR UNABLE TO START BMW HAS KNOW BULLETIN SIB-32-04-07

WHILE IN DRIVE AT AN IDLE, VEHICLE WILL TRY TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. RPMS GOT HIGH AND WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WAS STILL PUSHING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. PUT THE CAR IN TO NEUTRAL AND TAPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. RPMS DROPPED BACK DOWN AND CAR IDLED NORMALLY.

HEADLIGHTS FAILING WHILE DRIVING. BMW USED POOR INSULATION INSIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THAT DEGRADE OVERTIME AND FAIL CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND STOPPED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET MY NAME ON THE LIST ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I CAN NOT GET AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE MY AIR BAG.

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE TODAY 28 DEC 17 THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUES THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND THE BLOWER MOTOR WIRING SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL RECALL: ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WE HAVE PURCHASED, AND FIXED THE BMW REGULATOR ON OUR 2006 BMW 325I . AS OF LATE THE PASSENGER WINDOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAS BECOME JAMMED AND STUCK AND STARTED ROLLING DOWN ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION , THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS HAVE ALSO INCURRED THE SAME ISSUE. ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR THAT WILL NO LONGER OPEN , WITHOUT HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK, AND LOCK ONCE EXITING THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL OCCUR. SAFETY IS EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY WITH A SECOND BABY ON THE WAY. SO HERE WE HAVE A WINDOW THAT IS NOT ROLLING UP AT ALL. I'M UNSURE IF I SHOWED ALLOW MORE WORK TO BE DONE , DUE TO THE FEAR OF HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR REPEATEDLY. THANKS IN ADVANCE ! I LOOK FORWARD TO A RESPONSE .

DOOR ACTUATOR FAILURE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE UNLESS YOU USE THE PHYSICAL KEY, WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE ONCE IT LOCKS AND YOU MUST CLIMB OVER SEAT TO EXIT BACK OR PASSENGER DOORS. SOMETIMES DOOR WILL UNLOCK IF YOU ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND USE THE KEY ON THE OUTSIDE LOCK BUT USUALLY THAT DOES NOT WORK. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, YOU COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY. DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AT 5 MPH OR SO AND YOU ARE LOCKED INSIDE WITH A HANDLE THAT DOES NOT WORK.
