UPON START UP, VEHICLE AC SYSTEM RELEASES FOUL MUSKY SMELL FOR AN UNDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME THAT'S MORE PREVALENT DURING THE SUMMER/WARM WEATHER. CLEANING THE AC EVAPORATOR CORE PER BMW SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY BRIEFLY ALLEVIATES THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE SMELL COMES BACK FULL FORCE AGAIN. THIS IS A HEALTH CONCERN AS THERE IS DEFINITELY MOLD, MILDEW OR BACTERIA GROWING WITHIN THE AC SYSTEM. THESE GERMS ARE THEN GETTING PUMPED INTO A CONFINED SPACE, WHICH WILL LIKELY CAUSE OR EXACERBATE HEALTH CONDITIONS RELATED TO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM OR BREATHING. THIS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, TOXIC INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT OR WORSE.

ONE RECALL WAS CLOSED AND THE OTHER REMAINED OPEN. 4 MONTHS INTO PURCHASING A NEW CAR I'M BEING FORCED TO KEEP A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. I CANT SELL OR TRADE IN BECAUSE OF RECALLS. BMW WILL NOT TAKE MY CAR BACK AND I CANT SELL IT. I'M STUCK WAITING FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OPEN RECALL. BMW HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A NEW CAR THAT THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD 7 MONTHS WHEN 4 MONTHS INTO MY LEASE THE CAR IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING TROUBLE. I CANT SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ITS FINANCIALLY BURDENING MY FAMILY AS WE CANT USE THIS AS OUR FAMILY CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. HATCH BACK WITH "KICK" OPEN FEATURE RANDOMLY HITS ME ON THE HEAD WHILE I AM MOVING THINGS AROUND IN THE TRUNK SPACE AS I MOVE SIDE TO SIDE TO REARRANGE ITEMS. AM TOLD I WOULD NEED TO SPEND $250 TO DE-ACTIVATE THE "KICK OPEN" FEATURE. CALLED BMW DIRECT TO COMPLAIN, THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THE CAN/WILL DO - IT IS ON ME TO SPEND MONEY NOT TO GET HURT BY THE UNEXPECTED DROPPING OF THE HATCH! SO MUCH FOR HIGHLY ENGINEERED CAR. EITHER THEY SHOULD HAVE A BUTTON YOU COULD PRESS TO LOCK THE HATCH INTO OPEN MODE TO SECURE IT WHILE YOU ARE MANEUVERING IN TRUNK SPACE OR THEY SHOULD HAVE A "DISABLE KICK OPEN" FEATURE OPTION IN THE VEHICLE STATUS SECTION OF THE IN-CAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. CLEARLY SOMEONE (INCLUDING ME) CAN/WILL GET HURT AND THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CHANGE THIS.
