Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I bought my car in 2023 with 12,000 miles. I currently have 43,000 on it. I don’t drive it hard and have always had the maintenance done. I had my rear brakes replaced today at BMW and I was told my engine mounts have failed and need to be fixed asap. Was given a quote of 3000.00. My warranty expired literally 2 months ago. I’m told it’s dangerous to drive but how does this happen? Everything I read says they should be lasting 60,000-100,000 miles at least.
The front axle support and the right front control arm bearing bracket may be separating, which is causing my vehicle to continually fall out of alignment. This ongoing issue is leading to accelerated tire wear, despite the fact that I have not driven many miles. The manufacturer needs to address the underlying cause, as the dealership continues to recommend alignments without resolving the root problem. I have already paid for two alignments, yet the vehicle consistently goes out of alignment again.
