• Rear lamp illumination investigation # EA09019

  In a letter submitted to the office of defects investigation (odi) dated august25, 2011, bmwindicated that it will conduct a voluntary recall campaign to remedy the subject vehicles.The issue involves the rear lamps in the vehicles body panel.Through normal vehicle use over time, the rear lamps ground wiring and associated 8-pin connector can experience an increase of the resistance at the electrical contact points.This can lead to intermittent or permanent loss of the rear lamp functions which include tail, brake, and turn signal operation.The recall consists of modifying the rear lamps in the vehicles body panel by adding a secondary ground connection in parallel to the existing primary ground connection.An 8-pin connector that attaches the primary ground wiring to the rear lamp assembly will also be inspected and replaced if necessary.Bmw will complete dealer notification in september 2011 and will begin owner notification in october 2011.All 3 series sedans (except for the m3 sedan which utilized a different rear lamp assembly) that were built between september 1, 2001 and march 1, 2005 are included in this recall, totalling approximately 241,000 vehicles.The action taken by bmw is sufficient to resolve the issues raised by this investigation.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.

Hello, i am not writing to file a safety complaint about my vehicle. I am writing to detail my own participation in self-driving car training for both waymo and tesla. I was placed under fisa surveillance by larry page, neil wiley of the odni, and michael mosman. Part of the surveillance includes invasive tracking technology, such as an experimental chip implant and smart lenses that are eyewear with cameras embedded in them. One of the goals was to generate data from a human driver at the level of brain activity that could be used to train an a.I. Model for self-driving. Unfortunately this idea did not work. The subsequent adaptation is the main focus of this complaint. The pivot was to train an a.I. Model that could drive not by following signs, lane markings, lights, etc, as people do, but to train a car that would follow cars around it. Those follow cars would be driven by people and would signal the supposed self-driving car with innocuous motions such as swerving slightly, brake lights, arms and trash being thrown out the window, incorrect or left-on turn signals, etc. The other pivot was to investigate remotely controlling cars over a 5g network. In both of these scenarios, it would not be made apparent to consumers that the cars were not actually self-driving, and this would be accomplished with the support of neil wiley of the odni. Note that tesla & waymo's current self-driving car mechanism use data gleaned from the fisa surveillance data of me. Thank you very much for your time and consideration, and happy holidays. Neal

On or around the first week of dec. 2020 after filling up with gas, the car just stopped while in motion without any prior dash warning indicators. I placed the car in park and restarted the car on the first try. At that time i thought it may have been bad gas. Fast forward to jan. 09, 2021 while pulling up to gas station car accelerates while i am applying brakes. Very scary because i could have killed someone. I put the car in park and it revved up as though my foot was on the accelerator. This has started to happen on a regular basis, although. Intermittently. Researching this issue i found this has been discussed in several bmw forums since 2002 and appears to happen in older and newer cars regardless of model types. I have maybe 165,000 miles on my car and the maintenance is very well documented and consistent.

While driving about 50mph i slowed down to make a right turn and during the turn the steering wheel stopped half way during a full rotation and locked up preventing me from making a full right hand turn. Once parked i attempted to turn the steering wheel to the right and it stopped halfway through the turn again.

All exterior lights comes on when the car is off, and now the car stays on when the key out out of the ignition. The recall was fixed before about the lights but they started back again i just got the car and i can't even drive it without the battery dying if i go to work or even the store
