2011 BMW 328I stability control problems

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

MY CAR STARTED GIVING ERROR CODES OF CHASSIS STABILIZATION MALFUNCTION ERRORS. IT STARTED DRAINING THE BATTERY (NEW BATTERY LESS THAN A YEAR) WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE JUMPED. THE DEALER SAID THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY TO THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE STARTED THEN WOULDN'T RUN NORMAL AND THEN BATTERY WAS DEAD. ONCE JUMPED IT RAN BUT SHAKES BAD.

I BOUGHT A USED 2011 BMW 328I FROM A USED DEALERSHIP. I DROVE IT HOME THE FIRST DAY STARTED TO OVERHEAT. I CHECKED THE CARFAX ON THE CAR & IT HAS 2 RECALLS. IS IT ILLEGAL FOR A DEALER TO SELL ME A CAR KNOWING IT HAS A 2 SAFETY RECALLS?

THE VEHICLES RDC MODULE THAT COMMUNICATES TO THE TPMS GETS WET AND CAUSES A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS MODULE ON IS LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL SPLASH SHIELD ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN AND LOCATION. FAILURE HAPPENED DURING VEHICLE OPERATION AND EVEN WHEN OFF AND IT CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL SAFETY FUNCTION. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE.

FOURTH WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED TODAY. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 27,000 MILES. THE FIRST SENSOR FAILED WHEN THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. THE FACT THAT ALL FOUR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HAVE FAILED SUGGESTS TO ME A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE DISABLED WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
