Hello, i wanted to bring to attention the failing footwell modules in e9x generation bmws. The modules have a high failure rate and when they become inoperable you lose your headlights, turn signals, locking and unlocking doors, power window control and the ability to move your mirrors. It is a serious safety concern that bmw has hidden from its customers as it is a known extended warranty but there is no recall for such an important component. I recently had my vehicle in to have it replaced and was declined as it had not failed enough. Essentially they want me to have an unsafe vehicle before the repair will be performed. I do have documentation that the unit is in the early stages of failing but bmw still refuses to honor the extended warranty.

Well maintained vehicle with approximately 81,000 miles when the rod bearing broke. Bmw has a record of rod bearing failures and recalls. Bmw is not helping in my case and from my research there has been rod bearing failures in the same year and model as mine. I was driving when i heard knocking in the engine. I pulled over, had to be towed ajd bmw said the rod bearing went. They said it just went. Plenty of oil in the engine so it wasn't that. I was going about 60 mph when all of this happened
