| Recall campaign no: 12v-008 electric auxiliary water pump http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/defects/results.cfm the national highway traffic safety administration website says we are also notified to take the vehicle to a bmw dealer for repair. why cannot i not do this? we have a bmw dealer in boise. owners of the recalled vehicles are notified to take their vehicle to a bmw dealer, who will replace the auxiliary water pump to prevent any incidents related to this issue. this preliminary evaluation is closed. the odi reports cited above can be viewed at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/complaints under the following identification numbers (odi nos.): 10286597, 10286663, 10289793, 10310677, 10314796, 10342365, 10394808, 10394192, 10403982, 10418325, 10422646, 10429003. i cannot tell you how many hours i have spent on the phone with mini, mini of murray, and mini roadside assistance, my local bmw dealer, and several repair shops and a tow trucking company.mini is completely leaving those customers in the lurch that do not have mini dealers in their state. now mini of murray is telling me that if i fix my car in boise after i have received the recall notice that i am still on the hook for paying for this even if a mini dealer were to inspect the repair from another repair shop. how is this legal? all i want is to have the repair done as soon as possible and be reimbursed for it, without having to drive a potentially dangerous vehicle 700 miles to do it. it's a serious waste of resources, time and money! someone please do something to make this right without telling me that there's nothing they can do.? *tr | |||

| After driving to work for 30 minutes, i parked my car. i thought i smelled something as i walked away, so i stopped an looked, but i did not see anything. five minutes after walking into my building, someone told me my car was on fire. the first witness to see something (a co-worker) said he saw something on fire drop from the bottom of the car. when i ran outside, the car was putting off a significant amount of smoke. we tried to use a fire extinguisher, to no end, and within minutes we were seeing flames. five minutes later, the front of the car was engulfed in fire. it was fast and hot. the fire department put it out, but it was a total loss. i have photo documentation of the event. | |||
