Tl*the contact owns a 1995 bmw 318i. The contact stated that the vehicle had the same failure as noted in recall # 98v178000 concerning engine and engine cooling:cooling system. He stated that the water pump failed and would cost $800.00 to repair. However, the repair was performed free of charge because the vehicle was under warranty. He first noticed the failure approximately one year ago. As a result, his vehicle stalled on the highway , and had to be towed to the dealer. The dealer replaced the pump. Approximately a week ago the failure recurred ,and would cost $800.00 to repair. The dealer stated that they would not service the recall, and that the vehicle not included in the recall due to the vin. The current mileage is 121,471, and failure mileage was 80,000. *ak the consumer has provided the invoice for repairs.

Air bag light comes on when the car is started. The car, however, can be driven without an issue. The abs light then disappears after about three minutes. The dealer has twice turned-off the light by resetting the vehicle computer. Both times after the the dealer "fixed" the problem and a person seats on the back seat the light will automatically come on again. For clarification: i just imported my (u.S. Specifications) vehicle from germany both of these occurences took place in the country of germany, however the previous owner warned me about the defect while the vehicle was in the u.S.A. Usa dealer has yet to be contacted. At this point i am unsure that the airbags will deploy in the case of an accident.

I heard noises coming from and grinding associated with the rolling down of front driver's side window on my 1995 bmw 318i. It finally failed to properly up and i had to take it to the dealership. The dealer told me it was the window regulator and replaced it at a cost of $500. After checking message boards on-line i discovered that this is a very common problem. Many people stated that the regulators had gone out on all of the windows on various bmw models. *ak

While pulling up to the curb to let a passenger out driver's front floor mat pushed up against the gas pedal and caused car to accelerate. The driver stepped on the brake to stop the car, but with the floor mat pressed against the gas pedal, the car continued to accelerate, hitting the vehicle parked in front of it. The gas pedal extends down and attached to the floor so that the floor mat had no place to go, but against the gas pedal, if it gets pushed forward inadvertantly as it did in this case. *ak

I have a 1995 bmw 318i and has 37,000 miles. I have a problem with m/t and first gear pops out of gear which can cause the vehicle behind you to hit your car. I have had mechanics diagnose the problem and they say to replace the transmission. I called bmw they will not cover this design problem to replace the transmission. Their was a service bulletins issued in 1999 after the warranty had run out.(perfect timing). I think this should have been a recall considering the danger of this on the open road. *nlm
