2014 BMW M6 problems

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

3rd break lights start loosen by the nuts inside the break lights. The third brake light may become loose, possibly allowing the light to detach from the vehicle. Trying to contact BMW of North American and they said even the same model and years but not under the same production line and they won’t cover. The same issues happened with different production line means the car design has problem need fix by model and years.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

1.I found the same issues the same as the NHTSA posted the recall number 20V094000 for my car. The 3rd brake lights starting lose and I bring my car to BMW dealership and they told me my car is not flag on it. The same year and the same model has the same problem but My car is not under the recall list. I have the BMW Invoice and Identify the problem is the 3rd brake lights screws lose and need replace. 2. Just start my car and the Passager airbag lights on. I haven't got any collision and just start the car at morning then the car shows the airbag malfunction. Scary to drive ... Any help for my case ?

POWER TRAIN

WHILE DRIVING ON A MULTI-LANE DIVIDED EXPRESSWAY AT 65MPH SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STALLED AND SHUT DOWN WHICH FORCED A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. OTHER CARS DID NOT HAVE AMPLE TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND REACT NOR DID I. LUCKILY AFTER A FEW NARROW MISSES I MANAGED TO EVACUATE THE CAR. I WAS GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION- REDUCED POWER OUTPUT" AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT AT THE SAME INSTANCE IN TIME AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED (NOT BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURED, BUT RATHER AT THE SAME TIME). THIS MADE FOR A VERY DANGEROUS, UNSAFE SITUATION THAT SCARED ME A GREAT DEAL. I'M SURE OTHER DRIVERS WERE ALARMED, TOO SINCE THIS IS A FAST MOVING MULTI-LANE EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE UNITED BMW OF ROSWELL, GA I WAS INFORMED OF A LONG LIST OF FAILED COMPONENTS BY THE SERVICE REP. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS, CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, CAR BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS AND SEVERAL OTHERS. I WAS INFORMED I'D HAVE TO PAY SOME $4000 TO GET ALL THIS REPAIRED. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT SUCH DANGEROUS AND COSTLY MALFUNCTIONS IN THE FUTURE.THIS TRULY IS A BONA FIDE SAFETY ISSUE I CAN HONESTLY ATTEST TO IT.
