| A friend was following me home and nearly ran in back of me because she said i didn't brake , i told her i did , but a warning light came on in my car, so i went to purchase more bulbs, the bulb worked for a couple of hours, then the warning light came back on, then days later the other one , i took to mechanic, he found that a part in the housing had burned all the way down, and that i should check on recalls, because it's no fault of mine... i checked recalls and found that there were problems with the housing that houses the brake and signal lights, beginning with 2002... my car is a 325i 2001, i feel that this year should be included in the current recall, i researched online, and found that i am not the only one with a 2001 bmw325i with the same problem as the current recall... this could definitely cause an accident, with the housing working one minute and out the next , really think this should be included immediately... i was pulled over by an officer stating i didn't signal, but i did, the signal worked in car, but didn't outside ... *tr | |||
