I had two situations in which my car would unexpectedly lurch forward after coming to a complete stop with my foot on the brake pedal, and another case in which I could not place the vehicle in park with the DCT Shift lever malfunctioning and making the car undrivable.

The car was moving at highway speed with ac running. Smoke plumed from vents and under front passenger footwell. Electrical fire stemming from blower motor final stage unit and wiring harness.

- Westlake Village, CA, USA

The vehicle was in motion and the blower motor resistor harness began to smoke heavily. The A/C stopped working. I pulled over and disconnected the wiring harness and pulled the fuse. The wires melted, the connector melted, and the resistor is broken. After some research I see that BMW has recalled other cars for this exact same issue, but not the 1 series.

Fan blower wire can catch fire, BMW 3 series E90 2006 to 2013 already got the recall done, please recall this.

The same blower motor wiring issue in the BMW 3 series thats causing them to catch on fire and burn to the ground. I have compared the problem with another 3 series with the same exact issue. Although the wiring part number is different, the plug and where the negative and pos terminals are placed is the same exact spot as the 3 series. The car will shut off from voltage spikes when driving and cause sparks and arching noises where there neg and pos wires meet causing both of the wiring housings to melt and potentially cause a fire. I have taken off the kick panel that covers the wires and noticed the kick panel itself was burnt and melted. I have talked to many other 1 series owners and they also have this issue but it's not on the recall list. I believe it should be because this is a very dangerous problem that can potentially injure or kill someone.

Blower mower wiring overheating and burning/corroding while fan was on low speed.

Sometimes the blower motor will not work at the speed selected. A few times have smelled a odd burnt plastic smell. BMW won't help this issue as there is no recall on this certain model. I have took the time to actually diagnose the issue. Wiring to blower motor resistor module affected. Cannot even unplug the connection. Has brown areas on the resister by ground wire of signs of extreme heat.

I was accelerating into heavy traffic and my door flew open as I hit 45 mph. I immediately pulled over when safe, and found my door would not latch. I drove home slowly holding onto the door. After some playing with the buttons, it finally caught. I called the dealer and they repaired it on 3/25/16 for >$500. Again 6/14/16, I went to get in my car to go to work and the door would not latch. No injuries occurred but a serious safety hazard. I took the car back in 6/17/16 and they still have it. Told me there was "water in the actuator". very worried about this fix.

This car has some serious electrical defects. It's left me stranded at least 4 times just dying. Once when it was 14 below zero. The car will just die when it's driving. Each time BMW has a different reason for the electrical failures but I believe there is an underlying design defect that is very dangerous leaving people in a car without power no matter where they are, even in the middle of a busy highway. Once the car dies, it has this big exclamation point in the instrument controls inside a triangle and it will not move. It's very hard to even get it off to the side of the road in order to get out of traffic. This is a very dangerous situation. There has already been one recall on the electrical system of the car, but I think it did not correct the design defects. I have now given the car back to the dealer as I did not feel safe driving it. It left me stranded too many times.

BMW "third stop lamp" (the break light) does not fit the 1series correctly. They fall off, crack, and disappear frequently. This is a common problem with all 1 series BMW's. as this is a brake light, it is concerning. I believe the part number for this item is (63 25 7164978). Here is a link to the part with a picture {bmwetk.info/parts-catalog/PRD/BMW/vt/P/E82/cou/135I%20N54/usa/L/N/2009/06/50622/63/63_1055} thousands of individuals are complaining of this problem.

I own a 2011 BMW 128I. On 7/5, my wife was driving the vehicle when it suffered a total electronic failure. She was unable to see how fast she was traveling due to the fact, the speedometer failed. When she returned home, all of the warning lights were on. The car would rev without touching the gas. I spoke to D-[xxx] the BMW dealer. They had me tow the car into their shop. 7/9, I received a call from [xxx] at BMW dealer. He advised me that some water from a jug I carry in case of an emergency leaked and got onto the electronics in the trunk and it would cost me $531. He told me to contact my insurance to have them pay. I called BMW corporate because this sounded a little strange. BMW told me they do not recommend putting groceries in the trunk because it could cause a dangerous effect. I was not told of this when I bought my car. BMW (another dealer) advised my father that this is a common problem and affects all models. They will not fix it and want everyone to use their insurance to pay for it. BMW is too lazy to pay to correct the issue. My wife or someone on the road could have been involved in a traffic accident due to the fact her speedometer went out. This is a dangerous car. My car is still in the shop as of 7/10. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
