What owners report
Plastic oil filter housing fails pre-maturely and causes low coolant and/or oil level for the engine. This causes performance issues due to lack of cooling and lubrication and can lead to irreversible damage to the engine.
DAMAGE TO 1 TIRE FROM A CITY STREET POTHOLE RESULTED IN ALL 4 TIRES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT, AT SIGNIFICANT COST; DESPITE PURCHASING A WHEEL & TIRE PROTECTION PACKAGE. AT THE TIME OF REPLACEMENT OF ALL 4 TIRES, THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE WAS 9949 MILES. EITHER MY VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND/OR MY VEHICLE'S TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. MY VEHICLE'S TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED BY CONTINENTAL; HOWEVER MY VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER BMW NA, RECOMMENDED AND REQUIRED THESE TIRES.
MY CAR IS ACTUALLY A 2017 BMW 340I BUT THE SYSTEM DID NOT ALLOW ME TO CHOOSE THAT CAR. I HAD THE AUTO-START/STOP FEATURE ENGAGED AND THE CAR STALLED ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET AT THE TIME. I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT IT WOULDN'T START COMPLETELY OFF. I DISABLED THE FEATURE AND IT STOPPED DOING THIS. LATER ON JULY 5TH, THE CAR SIMPLY STOPPED STARTING ALL TOGETHER. AT THIS TIME I WAS PARKING IN MY PARKING GARAGE AT HOME AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF I TRIED STARTING IT BACK AND IT NO LONGER WORKED.

IN MARCH 2017, I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE RIGHT LANE OF A PARKWAY, WHEN A VEHICLE THAT WAS TWO CARS BEHIND ME, ACCELERATES OUT TO THE MIDDLE LANE, HE LOSES CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE, HIS CAR GOES TO THE LEFT LANE THEN TURNS AROUND ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO ME, AND COLLIDES INTO MY VEHICLE PUSHING ME OFF ONTO THE EMBANKMENT, CONTINUING TO COLLIDE INTO MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, BEFORE HIS CAR GOES UP INTO THE AIR AND LANDS ON THE HOOD, BACKWARDS. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE, AND THE MULTIPLE COLLISIONS AGAINST MY VEHICLE SEEMED ENDLESS. WHEN HIS CAR WENT UP IN THE AIR, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CRUSH ME. NONE OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS NOR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DESPITE THE MULTIPLE COLLISIONS ALL ALON
HIT A POT HOLE & LATER FOR A LARGE BULGE IN THE SIDE WALL OF THE BRIDGESTONE POTENZA S001 RUN FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE SINCE NO ONE(BMW OR BRIDGESTONE WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE. I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR WITH LOW PROFILE TIRES AGAIN. I DID REPLACE A PREVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE TIRE THAT DISPLACED A SIMILAR BULGE EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO INSTANCE OF A CSUSE FOR DAMAGE. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT AT COSTCO SINCE IT COMES WITH A WARRENTY FOR SAID DAMAGE. NOW COSTCO DOES NOT HAVE THIS TIRE IN THEIR INVENTORY DUE TO THE TIRE NOT CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO POOR DESIGN/QUALITY.
