FOUR ALIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO THE CAR BY TWO MANUFACTURER AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIPS, ALL OF WHICH HAVE NOT REMEDIED THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM TO WORSEN, IF ANYTHING. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT MY MODEL, THE 2011 BMW 7 SERIES, BUT 2010 AND 2011 BMW 5 SERIES AS WELL, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS PAGES DOCUMENTING SAME ON INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT APPEARS BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT THEY ARE RETURNING CARS TO CUSTOMERS AFTER SUPPOSED REPAIRS OR AFTER CLAIMING THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL BY FALSIFYING REPAIR ORDERS - ONLY FOR THE PROBLEM TO REMAIN, IF NOT WORSEN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PREDICAMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE PUBLICIZED SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE. PLEASE ADVISE AT YOUR EARLIEST AND PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
