My ac unit on my car was ramping up, like it was hot. I received a notice from BMW that there was a recall and that the ac unit wiring was faulty, could spark fire. Took my BMW to local shop was told it was the ac wiring and that it blew out my blower motor, that I had to replace it or it would be cause vehicle to catch on fire. However, the nsta and BMW recall was not in place that I would have to pay out of pocket for the repair and go back to BMW to have the repair done. I was unable to pay for the additional repairs so paid a portion of it, with the intent to wait until the recall was at the dealership. A few months later same issue ac unit running hot, took car in explained that the car had recall, if they could give me refund since the BMW customer corporation stated the repair was refundable. Until today, the BMW dealership who IS authorized to make direct payments has not and I don't know what else to do. They are scamming me out of money when the repair was a recall and it caused my blower motor to burn out.
