Okay, Houston, we have a problem. Cars that can stall because of a defect, and we don't know what to do about it yet? What's up with that?

This is one of the defects widely reported but that BMW has been denying for a long time but that we've seen cases being filed over when BMW has been refusing to buy back defective vehicles.

If you've got a lemon BMW, you need a Burdge attorney. Making manufacturers buy back their lemon cars, and give you back your money, is what we do. Everyday. Since 1978.
