FRM recall

Monty2010 · 01-07-2021, 02:33 PM

So, I ran into this issue recently. I learned there was an extended warranty that mine was expired on 1/12/2020. What I didn't know is how easy this PROM corruption could happen and when would it happen again. I was lucky the car is in my garage, not some stranded location.

I'm not happy that this is not a recall. The FRM failure essentially makes the car unsafe to drive. I filed a complaint with NHTSA. I think if there are enough people file complaints, someone will care enough to work on it.

The one on our Mini went bad, letting water in.

I’m managed to get bmwNA to provide the part. The local dealership wants $500 for labor to replace and reprogram. This is a bit more than I anticipated. The mobile mechanic guy I used resetting the last time took less than an hour to flush and recode. I paid him an hour of time, which is $150. Comments?
