The interior door handles of my 2015 BMW X1 have been peeling for a long time. This issue has existed since the vehicle was manufactured and is not covered under warranty. I learned that many other users have experienced the same problem and that BMW Turkey has resolved it for some of their customers. Following BMW Turkey’s guidance, I contacted the authorized Bursa Teknikoto service center to address the issue. However, I was informed that the problem would not be resolved under warranty or customer satisfaction coverage and that it could only be fixed for a fee. This response was disappointing. I request that the chronic interior door handle peeling issue in my vehicle be resolved free of charge and that the door handles be replaced.

Interior Door Handle Melting on my 2016 BMW 320

"BMW has still not resolved my request. First, the authorized Borusan service I was in contact with called me and informed me that BMW had acknowledged this fault, and that the two front door handles were in stock. They said that if I wanted, they could first replace the front door handles and that I could make another request later if the rear door handles also wore out. I agreed. However, there was no follow-up from the service afterward. I was told that a written approval from Borusan headquarters was required for the free replacement, but that Customer Relations Manager Ms. Özlem was in a meeting and could not be reached for a response. How is it possible that the customer relations manager is in meetings all day and cannot respond to a customer's request for about 15 days? BMW acknowledges the fault and initially states they will replace it, but then does not respond to the service's emails. This shows how much BMW Turkey values its customers. I am awaiting your prompt and positive response..."
