What owners wrote
My digital gauges were frequently going off center in my vehicle. I scheduled service with the dealer however they did not have a loaner available for weeks so they scheduled the appointment for a few weeks out, my car subsequently completely died on the road and after a minute or two I was rear ended by a truck and the car was completely totaled.
The contact owns a 2019 BMW X3. The contact stated that the Navigation system had become inoperable. Additionally, the message "Emergency Call Malfunction" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the seal of the roof-mounted antenna housing had separated from the vehicle, causing water to leak into the antenna housing wiring and causing the electrical failures. The contact was charged a fee for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost.
