RealDeal, at this point, I feel your trolling. If you have some insider info, post it. Otherwise, what's your point? It's obvious it's not to "protect" arguru. If you continue to basically troll this thread, my hope is the admins of this site will ban you.

The fact that the repair shop (BMW) has not disclosed the reason for the fault says a lot. Deep down there must be skeleton(s) in the closet and BMW is afraid of liability.
I certainly hope this gets resolved and the core issues are uncovered. If this does go to trial I would love to be a fly-on-the-wall. In today's day and age the little guy certainly has the upper hand in a jury trail. I know the wrecked e60 M5 case in TX (mentioned previously) is a good example. If I were the dealer/BMW I would phone Autobahn and ask them if they think going to trial was worth it Good tidings to the OP - best of luck and please share the reason of the fault, if you ever get one. k |

This is actually funny, before reading this thread I was talking to my buddy who is a product defect attorney about liability of a corporation that knows a defect but doesn't disclose it to the public.
Kind of like Fight Club when he is investigating the burnt up car and he says, take the number of cases this may involve and multiply it by the likely payout. If this amount is less than a recall, you just let the problem exist and make payments when people die. Makes you wonder, my friend says this happens more than you realize, the bottom line margin means everything to these companies while your life is just a statistic to them. |

Hey, Arguru, why don't you just print your receipt with explanation of what was wrong and how it was fixed? You have been asked a few times now. THAT would solve everything. I thought you just wanted to get your car fixed? What a mess this has become.

Freedom of speech applies to government and government agencies. There is no way I would settle with you if you refuse to take down your bad mouth posts... Right or wrong. This does, however, give you some leverage. Tell the dealership attorney that you will remove the posts as long as the dealer agrees to do x. You have to be careful though... This type of offer could be construed as a coercive maneuver on your part, thus voiding any agreement in the future. |

If I worked at the dealer or for BMW I would already have the document I am betting he won't post and would post it myself. I don't have access to claims history or the dealers invoices. I'm far removed from this mess and can tell you that you have no sound mechanical stance if your assertion is that your SZL failed and you lost steering control. BMW will not need to fly a guy in to disprove that. You are no better than the crowd of gold digging opportunists that all ran their Toyotas into walls when they thought there was a chance to get paid.
On the other hand, if I'm wrong and they replaced your rack, column, or anything relating to your steering other than your SZL. You would already be in possession of a smoking gun and not need the advice of this forum. Again, if the car isn't fixed, why the hell are you still driving it? Sounds alot like OJ lookIng for the real killers on the golf course. Give me the VIN and the dealer and I'll get the invoice myself. You don't have to take my advice. Odds are you already hung yourself via email and taped phone calls. They won't sue you for their reputation or slander or libel, it will be something with teeth, like extortion. |

It seems from the beginning, all he wanted was an explanation and things started escalating from there. Last edited by MDyDinanM; 01-20-2012 at 09:16 AM.. |

Thats the impression I get too but now he still isnt satisfied. He says he doesnt want any dough so I'm not really sure why we are still talking about this. Still not sure why he won't print explanation and repair receipt. His original intentions seems genuine and innocent (get car repaired with explanation) enough and its now spiralled out of control thanks to this forum of people that were not even there. Not sure why Arguru (and most others here) feel a great need to demand apologies etc. Get car fixed and move on. If you dont like the car/dealership then move on. To each his own. Very entertaining to follow I must say. |

look at what lexus did- staging the largest recall in history- it takes a lot to admit that you're wrong, but it's time to step up. |

I completely understand your frustration with your dealings with Penske and BMWNA. It's often liking running full speed into a brickwall without a helmet.
And it may well be best to move on- that is your call and yours alone. The one underlying unanswered question of some importance to all of us still remains: Is there a systemic serious problem with the active steering system. Don't pay too much heed to those that attempt to deride your postings for whatever reason. I think you have accounted yourself very well given what you factual knew and didn't know based on what information was made available to you. |
