i went online because i was having troubles with my vehicle battery alternator and other electronics , i found out other bmws with the same symptoms as my car led to having a bad footwell module , currently interior lights work when they want to if any constant battery dying from lights not turning off none of the parking sesnors work no back up camera the rear windows do not work some times the power mirrors work , i have had the vehicle tested with a new alternator and battery each window motor works its the footwell module but i noticed that the extended warranty is for 2014 and older models sadly it also effects the 2015 models as well

The contact owns a 2015 BMW 328I. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s side taillight became inoperable. The taillight intermittently illuminated, creating an inconsistent lighting condition. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the wiring harness and bulb socket in the driver’s side taillight had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact expressed concerns that the failure posed a significant safety hazard, as a non-functioning taillight increased the risk of a crash. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

MY 2015 BMW 328I X DRIVE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND LEFT BRAKE HAVE MALFUNCTIONED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SAME THING HAPPEN IN MY MOTHER'S BMW 328 SERIES AS WELL AND A RECALL WAS OPEN. THERE IS A OPEN RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNALS BUT NOT FOR MY ACTUAL VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS SO I KNOW IT IS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. BMW REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT IS A KNOWN RECALL! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, AND JUST WANT MY LIGHT PANEL REPAIRED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BY BMW MANUFACTURERS NOT THE OWNER.

BOTH HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM LIGHTS ON MY 2015 BMW 328I, EQUIPPED WITH HALOGEN LIGHTS, ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

LEFT BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION IS PERSISTENT EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB 4 TIMES, ALSO CLEANED THE CONTACTS AND KEEPS ON HAPPENING RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY. NUMEROUS FORUM POSTS REPORT THE SAME FOR THE F30 ENGINE MODELS
