If bmw or any other manufacturer was to do that in my car, i would just call over and over their sale man with the 'bluetooth call' until they loose more money by showing me ads than they earn.
In my country stellantis (owner of jeep brand) tried to save by money by hiding that their car's airbag is killing people. Now there's been enough dead that that they can't just ignore it and made a recall but waiting list is very long.
They knew that since at least 2016, 8 years before the recall. They could have done it slowly since then, avoid drivers death and not having people locked out of their car waiting for airbag replacement.
I guess they were working harder on the new Jeep advertisement system.
"Take the number of vehicles in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of failure, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of- court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X...If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
this rhymes a lot with gangsterism.
if you don’t pay our protection fee it would be a shame if your building caught on fire.
