MY NAME IS [XXX]. I WAS TURNING OFF OF FRONTAGE RD ONTO NORTHSIDE DR SLOWLY AND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE FELL RIGHT INTO A HUGE POTHOLE WHICH BLEW MY TIRE COMPLETELY OUT. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME HAVING TO GET A BRAND NEW TIRE DUE TO THE STREETS OF JACKSON,MS. THE 1ST TWO TIMES I WAS UPSET BUT, AS USUAL, DID NOT BE A BABY ABOUT IT BUT WENT ON TO GET MY CAR FIXED ON MY OWN. THIS TIME, I AM EXTREMELY UPSET, AND AM VERY TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON MY CAR WHEN THE ONLY DAMAGE COMES FROM THIS CITY. ALSO, MY CAR MADE A SMALL SQUEAKING NOISE AFTERWARDS AND A SEATBELT WARNING IS ON IN MY DASHBOARD. PARTS FOR MY CAR ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE TIRE ALONE IS ENOUGH. I WAS NOT SPEEDING OR DRIVING WRECKLESS AND I CANNOT CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES CAUSED FROM THE STREETS. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME AND TALK TO ME, OR IF I COULD PERSONALLY TALK TO SOMEONE, I WOULD GLADLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALLED ISSUED FOR THESE ITEM ON NOVEMBER 2013 RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-564. I WAS TOLD BY BMW OF DALLAS THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I FIND IT A AN ODD COINCIDENT THAT MY VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND BMW TECHNICIANS DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY SENSOR MAT BUT I'M TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DATE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE DATES THE FAULTY MAT WAS USED.

THE OIL COOLER ADAPTER PLATE IS DEFECTIVE THE O RING IS DEFECTIVE AND LEAKS OIL ALL OVER EVERYTHING INCLUDING WIRES. IF YOUR CAR DOESN'T HAVE AN EXTERNAL OIL COOLER, THE PLATE, WITH THE O RING SEAL WILL LEAK OIL. THE OTHER SIDE HAS TWO HOLES THAT CAN BE MACHINED FOR THE EXTERNAL OIL COOLER, BUT IF YOUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE YOU WILL HAVE OIL LEAKS. COMMON OIL LEAK ON THE V8 N62 AND N62TU ENGINES THAT WOULD BE IN THE E65 7 SERIES AND THE X5 E53. THIS IS THE BEARING BLOCK WHERE THE ALTERNATOR MOUNTS TO.

THE SEAL HAS NO USE TO THE ENGINE IT IS JUST THERE JUST IN CASE IF YOU GET THE OIL COOLING OPTION AND IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO GET THE OPTION YOUR CAR WILL LEAK OIL BECAUSE THE SEAL IS NOT SUBSTANTIAL AND THE OIL HAS NO WHERE TO GO, SO IT LEAKS OUT OF THE GASKET. THE LEAK CAN BE QUITE SUBSTANTIAL. *TR
