I am looking for people to join me in a class action lawsuit against BMW. I am about to commence an action against BMW of North America for consumer fraud.
I am referring to the ongoing problem that mostly affects 3 Series owners (MY 2001-present) who have both the harman kardon radio system and the factory navigation system. (for more background do a search here and on e46fanatics.com with the key words "fading audio" or "mono" and you will see what I am referring to)
As has been documented on this board for over a year now, there is a problem with the FM section of the H/K radio that mostly affects cars with the NAV. It involves the radio's inability to lock onto and hold a stereo signal. The symptoms are that the FM radio fades in and out of stereo repeatedly, regardless of reception area or speed of vehicle.
Although many consider a radio problem to be a minor thing, the problem is that BMW is UNABLE (or unwilling) to fix this problem!!! I had my vehicle in to the dealership (two dealerships actually) for service 5 times before it was finally admitted to me that they cannot fix the problem. This issue has been ongoing since the 2001 model year and it continues even now. It was eventually admitted to me that BMW knows about the problem but that they view it as an "operational characteristic" of the vehicle and have no intention of doing anything about it.
Now it is one thing for a car company to sell a vehicle that they know will require a trip to the dealership down the road to fix a manufacturing defect. It is quite another to sell a car that they know cannot be fixed and just tell the consumer "too bad, you bought it, now you are stuck with it" which is what BMW has done. There are laws designed to protect the public from that kind of disgraceful corporate conduct.
One of the leading law firms in the United States that specializes in class action lawsuits has agreed to take this case. They are confident that there is a viable case against BMW North America for consumer fraud. It would be helpful if we were able to locate other people who have this problem from other states to join in the litigation. It would not cost you anything to join and the possibility exists of a financial recovery from BMW.
My purpose here, however, is NOT a financial windfall. It is to remedy a disgraceful situation. BMW has been getting away with denying this problem for 3 years, yet they continue to sell cars with this problem that they can't fix. Again, my main purpose is to force BMW to own up to problem and FIX IT!!
If your car is affected by this and you are interested in joining this lawsuit, please send me an email at [email protected].
For all of us out there who have just been burning up about this, the time has come to do something about it. BMW cannot be allowed to continue this fraud without paying a price for its disgraceful conduct.
