To whom it may concern,
I own a 2015 BMW 1 series for 2 year + which is still under motorplan.
For further reference I ask BMW to check repair history on this car my reg. (FV27ZGGP) my cell 0843784078.
To date I have only had bad experiences with this car .I am emotionally drained and financially distressed due to the fact that I have had to drive this car all the way from Vaal(Sebokeng) to Bryanston(JSN) to have it fixed on numerous occasions incurring extra costs, because I had already purchased a bus monthly coupon I use public transport and only drive on Fridays . There has been far too many repairs done on this car, this is so unusual for a brand that claims to be the best/and or a premium brand!
To date these are the issues I have faced. - The right rear door made an unpleasant sound didn’t open not so long after purchasing the car . This got fixed on more than 1 occasion and still be faulty! eventually JSN fixed it . - I have had more than 3 drive train/misfire errors ,which were fixed by 2 different dealerships JSN/Sovereign and to date I have experienced another misfire .. - I have had BMW on call tow my car for a misfire/drivetrain issue and an existing right rear door error whom I asked that they need to fix as well , upon getting my car back a usb was stolen and my car had scarf marks and the right front door couldn’t open from the outside !..another inconvenience I had to resend the car now for the right front door was not faulty to be fixed . - I have had timing belt/ engine (rattling sound from the engine) repairs which costed about 60k+ and upon follow up repairs another 6k+ repairs had to be carried out to solve the problem completely thankfully motorplan paid . - Week(s) after the major engine repairs, I had lights which die now and then just last week tueday (25 June 2019) the light was fixed! fetched my car kudos .I drove home and the following day (26 June 2019) I see there is an oil leak!! which i complained about and dropped of the car the thursday (27 June 2019) cool this was fixed !! . i fetched my car the same day drove home just after the grasmere toll gate i just received a warning light (DRIVE TRAIN) !! The car lost its power I could only drive at speeds of 80 until I reached my destination
- Now I am victimised!! .BMW rented me a car externally which I had to pay 1500 for petrol /or a holding value don’t know whatever is !! so now what if I didn’t have 1500 ? so I must still pay for being inconvenienced by a dealer that doesn’t fix all problems on my car at once ??
I brought back the rented car to JSN, no post inspection was done by the rental company!! now am told there is a dent on the back bumper and I am liable to pay !! so they say they saw this dent just after and i quote “re-inspecting the car at OR Tambo” !! . ..who drove the car to OR Tambo ??
Shouldn’t the process be that an inspection must be done before and after dropping off the car with the rental company - which in this case didn’t happen!! so how did the car get to OR Tambo was it flown there ?? surely someone drove it ….
I have made a complaint with BMW south africa ref 8101391894 whom just told me to return the misfiring car to JSN and they would contact me back ! to date they haven’t phone me to know what was the outcome .
I urge new car buyers never to consider buying a BMW !!. because if i were to show them all the repairs done on this car they would be shocked !.
