The following ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH complaint about 1996 BMW 328I was reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety administration on 2001-05-13. For more information contact the National Highway Traffic Safety administration or the US Department of Transportation. See complaint summary below.
| Build Years/Makes/Models: | 1996 BMW 328I |
| Occurances: | |
| Reference Number: | 745277 |
| Summary: | SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR, THE KEY TURNS FREELY (ALL THE WAY AROUND WITHOUT STARTING TE CAR). WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM IN 1998 TO TE BMW DEALER IN COLUMBUS, GA, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL REACTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS "CHECKING" THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPEN TWO-THREE TIMES A MONTH. YESTERDAY (MAY 12, 2001), I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND STOPPED TO TURN IT OFF. THE IGNITION STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION BUT I COULD PULL MY KEY OUT AND THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO I HAD TO STALL THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS STILL ON. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO TURN OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREELY TURNING IGNITION AND THE STUCK IGNITION ARE RELATED.*AK |
