Oh, that's just great. Tell us there's a dangerous problem and there will be a recall but don't tell us how many vehicles are involved or when you'll start doing the recall ... are you just leaving us out here hanging on for dear life when the brakes fail?
Well, if you've got a lemon BMW and your dealer won't take care of you, or the factory can't figure it out, get a Burdge attorney. Getting rid of lemon cars and lemon trucks is what we do. Since 1978.
