2001 Unknown Unknown Electrical problems

I do hope that something comes of all of these complaints and that bmw steps up to the plate , I bought my car with 53000 miles on it .. And have had issues from day one.. Bmw states that because its not bmw certified and that I bought it from an independent dealership.. That they basically wash their hands of it ... I think it sad , to pay this much money for a car , that even the manufacture will not stand behind.. I don't care who sold me the car... It was bought on a car lot... Not a second rate pawn shop..... Its a bmw , stand behind it. *Jb

switch can be operated from acc to run or start position without the key! This seems exceedingly dangerous and insecure. That is: 'kids' left in car, with radio on [2] 'playing driving', manage to get it started and... Let alone the anti theft issues... Notes: 1) I was told, years ago, this was to allow radio use with vehicle otherwise secure. 2) Granted: the kids shouldn't be left, but...*Jb

diagnosed it had written a report that bmw na suggested to replace the entire transmission being that my 2001 325i is only 68,600 miles. Majority of complaint centered around bmw na since I complained about the manufacturing and bmw service for their inept diagnosis skills. I brought my vehicle to vob bmw on several occasions mentioning that I thought there might be some type of electrical problem--although their diagnosis always show up different. Having a car stall in the middle of rush hour is not just embarrassing but dangerous since I've had cars had to avoid or slam on their brakes to avoid my vehicle. My anger is not about the little things that can go wrong but while the car is moving and then something happens to it in a flow of traffic at considerable speed is dangerous! My car stalled 5 different occasions and three of them on the beltway (i-495 washington dc metro area) during rush hour since early 2003. I avoided two car accidents and had one very minor fender bender when my car stalled and another vehicle made contact with my rear bumper on i-495.*Ak

accomodate turns on the vehicle and the plug would come out of the electical connection. We then put on a shorter reciever on the hit ch and it solved the problem. On may 2, 2001, I contacted aliner in mammoth pa. (724) 423-7440 And the general manager returned my call, they agreed to make an adjustment to my loss but didnt seem too concerned about the safety problem I adressed.
