I was driving and antitheft system went off while driving. Then wiper failed to work. I was told by dealer mechanic that the body control module was failing and advised not to drive the car because the antitheft system may cause the car to stop and the wiper system will stop when raining causing multiple accidents.

BAD AIR BAG

MODULE FAILS THAT CONTROLS WINDSHIELD WIPERS. IF RAINING, THERE WOULD BE NO VISIBLITY AND WOULD RESULT IN AN ACCDENT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING.

2003 BMW 525I. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POTENTIAL FIRE IN TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION, DUE TO A FAULTY LEFT TAIL LIGHT. THE LIGHT WAS REPAIRED.

THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER THAT A CONNECTOR HAS MELTED ONTO THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND THE WIRING WAS DAMAGED. *JB

I HAVE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER(RIGHT) SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON OUR 2003 BMW 525I. THE TAIL LIGHT IS CONNECTED TO A WIRING HARNESS VIA A CONNECTOR. ONE OF THE CONNECTOR PINS HAS BEEN OVERHEATED BY THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND HAS BEEN BURNT TO A CRISP. THIS EXACT PROBLEM HAS FORCED BMW TO DO A RECALL IN 2011 ON THE 3-SERIES OF AUTOMOBILES AND YET THEY HAVE IGNORED THE SAFETY OF SERIES-5 OWNERS AND HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS COMPONENT FAILURE. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE DRIVER INTO BELIEVING THAT THEY HAVE WORKING TURN SIGNALS WHEN IN ACTUALITY THEY DO NOT. THE VEHICLE STILL PROVIDES THE SOUNDS AND SIGHTS OF A DIRECTIONAL BEING USED, HOWEVER, THE LIGHTING SYSTEM IS DEAD. *TR

I WAS HELPING A PASSENGER OUT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY 2003 BMW 525I WHEN THE PASSENGER ACCIDENTLY BUMPED THE THE AUTO-UP WINDOW BUTTON. THE DOOR WAS OPEN, THE WINDOW WAS DOWN, AND I HAD FINGER IN THE WAY OF THE NOW CLOSING WINDOW. ALL OFF A SUDDEN THE WINDOW CHOPPED OFF A DIGIT OF MY PINKY FINGER. MY FINGER WAS NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE PINCH PROTECTION SAFETY FEATURE. HOW THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED: IF AUTO-UP FEATURE WAS DEACTIVATED WHEN DOOR IS OPEN, BUTTON TO OPEN CLOSE WINDOW COULD BE DESIGNED SO YOU HAVE TO PULL UP TO CLOSE WINDOW, PINCH-PROTECTION SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS FINGERS, AND PERHAPS A WARNING SIGN ON THE WINDOW THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF CUTTING OFF FINGERS. *TR
