The wiring harness inside the headlights are loosing the insulation, and there all the bare wires are exposed. This is a high fire hazard, what may cause death of the occupants and others in the traffic. This problem is not just in my vehicle, there are many forums over the internet with the same problem what is not the fault of the owner of the vehicle

On january 10 2019 i was driving to work when suddenly my bmw decides to shut off on the highway with no warning. My steering wheel stiffened up and i almost crashed my car. There was no warning light or nothing blinking on the dash to warn me of any problems. I just payed off my car and this happens to me. Its been really hard not having a car and not being able to take my kids to school. I reached ut to napleton kia and bmw of northamerica and they do not want to help me.They basically sold me an unsafe car which could of killed my family. Mechanic basically says that the motor seized without warning.And it would be 6000$ to fix. If you look online theres hundreds of people with the same problem and bmw does not want to help.A true lemon.

As my car sat in my driveway (with no key in the ignition), it burst into flames, spreading to nearby trees and bushes, and cracking several windows in my house. The fire department put it out before it could burn the house down and i managed to escape the home without injury.
