We were getting concerned...about ready to send a search party.



Back to the issue.

So you didnt have it in writing, correct? If it was in writing on the RO (repair order) the SA types up, you can refuse to pay a penny- and perhaps refuse to accept the car, as they had not completed the terms of the contract.

SA sounds like a dick actually.

Maybe a chat with the Service Manager? "My car is showing the exact failure that has led to a recall- why would you not contact BMWNA to see if they would goodwill this? Or verify the accuracy of the recall notice/VIN numbers?"

Do you have proof the recall was performed? Any chance this failure was caused by the items involved with the recall? Maybe they did the recall, but the damage to other parts was already started?

Is the car running now?

I'd escalate the issue- do a search for more info about their braking problems, but you want to get this in front of someone from BMWNA to make a decision- not dicks at the local dealer.

And also consider finding an indy
