Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED CAR FROM BMW ON 11-17-06 WITH 49,761 MILES. IN ADDITION I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 2 YEARS OR 50,000 MILES FOR A TOTAL WARRANTY OF 6 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY IT WAS NOTED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE FRONT & REAR WINDOW MOULDINGS WERE DETERIORATING. HE STATED THAT WHEN IT CAME BACK FOR THE OIL SERVICE THAT IT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. WELL ON BOTH 3-17-07 AS WELL AS 7-14-07 WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE I WAS DENIED BECAUSE OF OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN 11-03, SO IT IS NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD & EXPERIENCING DETERIORATION ISSUES ON GLASS THAT COULD FALL OUT AND INJURE SOMEBODY. I FEEL THAT BMW SHOULD CORRECT THIS ISSUE & CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION ON A FAILURE OF THEIR PARTS. *TR
