Fine, white particles are blowing out of the cabin air ducts whenever the air conditioner or fan is turned on. My local BMW service center, Herb Chambers BMW of Boston, determined that the debris is flakes of aluminum from the deteriorated aluminum alloy fins of the AC evaporator coil and heater exchanger. The cabin air ducts were scoped and found to be intact with no intrusion of outside contaminants. The dealer determined that if not replaced, -??the A/C Evaporator will fail-??-?? and quoted the cost of repairs at $5,286.18. As I am sure you are aware, aluminum is a neurotoxin when absorbed by the body. The science is well established and can be easily sourced using Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C22&q=neurotoxicity+of+aluminum&oq=neuroto. The fine aluminum particles blowing from the heating and cooling system of my BMW have been absorbed into my eyes, mouth and airways, putting me at risk from internal exposure to aluminum. They have also rendered my BMW 335d unusable due to this health safety hazard. I filed a request for recourse with BMW of North America and was denied.

I am perplexed that nhsta allows tire manufacturers to sell tires without warranty. Any merchandise sold to public has at least 1 year manufacturer's warranty against defects in parts, material and workmanship but not tires. The only part that connects a vehicle to a surface is a tire. Therefore, tires are the most important piece of equipment on a car but yet manufacturers can sell tires without warranting that the tires would perform as they are intended even when they are driven a few miles. Bridgestone re050A rsc run-flat tires driven less than 11000 miles within less than 2 years and one of the tires had already developed a bulge the size of a banana. Please see the attached photo of the tire. These tires do not have a manufacturer's warranty. Not because they are old but because they have never had one. If I died and caused death on the road because of this fault, this company would not be liable. Why" because they are not held responsible by nhsta or anybody. There is not even a section to complain about tires. That's why I have to put this complaint in the vehicle section. Does this mean National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cares about our safety? luckily, I caught this before it caused an accident or lives. Are you waiting for enough lives to be consumed by this before you take action"

BMW 335D automatic with approx 60K miles. While driving on the highway at approx 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to make noise, shake violently and fill with smoke. The passenger side curtain airbags went off from the violent shaking. My husband piloted it across 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. The center console and shifter were lifted up several inches. We were shocked that we did not wreck. We set the emergency brake and called BMW roadside assistance. It was towed to the nearest dealership. The dealer said it was 100% mechanical failure and the driveshaft broke and caused significant damage to the transmission and that they could not repair it.
