I find it extremely interesting that...
...Hyundai/Kia (all of this due to potential rod bearing failures) says that "because the engines can fail and stall" increasing the risk for a crash, they're going to recall 1.4+ million car and inspect them, and if warranted, replace the blocks.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-hy...-idUSKBN17903Z So they're recalling 1.4+ million cars to correct this issue and BMW is fighting a class action lawsuit for 65,965 E9X M3s when we've had documented rod bearing failures in which engines have seized and almost caused a crash. I guess BMW is waiting for someone to actually crash or die before they finally do something about the issue.....? *smh* |

Sad day when KIA shows more care for its consumers than BMW.

...different cultures. Germans are a mighty stubborn group (I know - I'm one of them). BMW Had to get dragged in front of 60 minutes to finally fix HPFP in n54. How many times did VW first deny diesel-gate?? Now how many $billions.
Anyhow - I agree - should be addressed in e9x M cars. Heck this forum is nothing but Rod Bearing related posts now. |
