When you picked up the vehicle after the $7000 repair didn't you test the things they said they fixed? Am I missing something? It sounds like these two problems are new: the front sensors no longer work, the dashboard lights do not auto dim when it gets dark. If they never fixed the original...

These symptoms are almost certainly the RF Hub failure. When the hub fails and you open the door with the key blade the alarm will sound. It thinks you are breaking in because all comms with your key fob is lost. That's why the spare fob acted the same way. Funny but I was able to stop the...

I also agree with that conclusion. When my truck was brand new I bought a gallon of Mopar Total Clean to use to clean the interior. Everything in the interior. I worked very nicely. It was soon after that my dash started bubbling and separating. I came to the conclusion myself that it was...

My answer to that is mine was kept in a garage s OMG that is the worst looking bubbling I have ever seen for these dashes. Mine bubbled and separated and was replaced under warranty but wasn't even close to that bad. Did you regularly clean that thing with a solvent that disintegrated the...

They replaced it under 3/36 warranty.

I had a similar problem on my truck and it turned out to be the Body Control Module (BCM). The dealer changed it out after replacing the headlight and foglight units on the one side didn't fix it.

Just thought I would put this here from my owner's manual. Says they come on with the rear window defroster. No mention of temperature. Maybe they just forgot to mention a temperature dependence?

I don't get ice here in Central Florida, but I do get condensation from time to time. The heated mirrors get rid of that condensation. You don't need ice for them to work I don't think. That's what I remember although it has been quite a while since mine have fogged up.

So I have a final update on this debacle. I was able to convince Allstate to not declare the vehicle a total loss. Instead they took the dealer's assessment and estimate and paid me for the RF Hub failure and carpet replacement but NOT the back window. So at the dealer recommendation I did...

I decided to start this new back window thread because I had my leaking back window replaced yesterday and wanted to share the pics and story. I realize I am not the first and this is old news to some. But I thought these pics were startling to say the least. A testament to the absolute...

So sorry you are going through this. This shouldn't happen. It is poor design or workmanship or both. I can tell you there is no factory extension of any warranty on this problem listed for mine. If you are looking for your dealer to fix it under goodwill, good luck with that. They make...

No, I left it as is and I have been dealing with other issues related to Hurricane Milton.

Damn SW engineers. Didn't test all the possibilities with the most popular third party apps. Nice workaround.

It will 💯 come back unless you do the more permanent grease or some other fix. Rain or water will wash away your temp fix. I went through this a couple years ago. I would lube myself with silicone spray which fixed it but it would return after a good wet road drive. Finally the dealer...

I am also thinking more for others who have done the permatex thing and not replaced the window. They may want to seal the container like I am talking about.

So here are pictures of my RF Hub that is getting replaced due to water intrusion via a back window trim crack/leak. My question is why not seal the new one with a bead of silicone or the like to prevent water from ever getting in the new one? I am replacing the window but in case the new...

WARNING: This doesn't help you current android users having issues. I had an android phone forever and when I first bought my truck. AA never quite worked right. It didnt reliably connect. I thought it was the trucks fault. Well in 2021 I went with an iPhone for reasons unrelated to my...

I have had 6 or 7 since 2000. By far the best one is the one I have now. A 2021 M-Sport 530i. It is an amazing car in so many ways.

Imagine if BMW built a pick up truck......

My understanding is the RF Hub controls all communication of the FOBs with the vehicle. When my RF Hub failed, touching the FOB to the start button did nothing.
