Tension belts. Over heating. Alignment. Transmission. I've lost jobs due to these issues the car again is broke.
I have a 2003 325i when coming to a stop with the foot on the brakes (lightly), as the transmission downshifts I can hear a thud/clunk coming from the rear end of my car along with a increase in the rpm's. I also hear it as soon as I let off my foot of the gas pedal or accelerate causing my car to not drive properly and my transmission to hit my suspension very hard. So, I've searched this issue and other BMW forums and found that other people had the same complaints and this exact problem which is dangerous & very scary.

Nhtsa does not recognize the recalls on my 2004 BMW 325xi 4dr sedan. There were 2 recalls that are related to air bags. The NHTSA campaign numbers are #15v318000 and #14v428000. I would like to receive official confirmation that these recalls are valid so I can get the manufacturer to fix this. Please see the supporting docs attached. Also, I have been having weird electrical issues happening to the point the car wont shut off at times, headlights go out after a day, turn signal goes out, car dies, stereo wont work etc. I was wondering if other recalls were placed on this car as well?.

Driving down the road, the left front brake grabbed hard. The car veered into the oncoming traffic lane before the stability control failed (traction control and brake light came on) and I was able to recover. I tried restarting the car and it immediately did it again as soon as I was moving. To test, I drove around for 2 days with the stability control turned off (long press on dsc button) with no issues. I then left the stability control on and the issue occurred within 5 miles of careful driving. My diagnosis is the yaw sensor has failed. This is supported by other complaints on this site and similar occurrences listed in the BMW forums.
While driving our car the dash lights will come on and the car will loose all power. We have to pull over and turn car off wait a minute with key completely out of the ignition and restart the car then all lights are off and car is completely drivable. This happens multiple times a day no matter what speed is being driven. Also within the same month the locks will not unlock when car is stopped and shut off or by the power button inside the car. As well as our 4 way indicator which is on same switch as the power lock button no longer works.

While traveling down the interstate at approximately 75 mph with the cruise control on, the car suddenly veered left and the abs engaged and slowed the car suddenly to about 40 mph. My immediate thought was that I had blown a tire, but then recognized the abs was causing the car to judder. The dsc and abs lights illuminated and remained on. The mil light did not illuminate. I took the car to a repair shop that diagnosed a faulty rotational rate sensor (yaw). The system recognized that it received erroneous data, but I believe failed in an unsafe manner. I purchased this car for my soon to be 16 year old daughter and cringe to think how she would've reacted to this situation. This failure put the car in the precise situation where you would want the dsc to be working.
Had just parked the car and a few minutes later it caught on fire. Everything under the hood is burned. Surveillance cameras caught the hole thing.
Abs, brake lights warning indicator constantly on. Possible dsc inop. Potential crash issue. Original owner with approx. $13,000 in maintenance and repair receipts. 95k miles on car. No notification/recall from BMW.
Abs and brake light on. According to dealership it is the szl (steering angle sensor).
02/19/2014 on a dry day,while driving in the center lane on I-4 around lakeland-FL, with 70mph a fedex vehicle's right rear tire blew off in front of me. I hit the brakes to avoid collision. Abs did not work and my brakes locked, my car has started spinning (3-4 times). My car went from the middle lane to the left lane then to the most right lane and off the road. Luckily I did not hit any other vehicles or the metal/concrete barriers while spinning out of the road. After the incident,while driving I have noticed a lymping at slow speed and high vibration at higher speeds. All 4 tires were damaged . 3 warning lights appeared on the dashboard: dsc + abs + brake(red color). On 02/22 I took my vehicle to my mechanic. All 4 tires were found were because of the braking. The diagnostcis tool read: 5df5 - control unit internal failure. I needed 4 new tires and my tires had 9/32 thread depth and were almost new. On Sunday - 02/23/2014 - I took in my vehicle for the tires. The tire shop declined to replace the tires under warranty because they were damaged by braking. They were nice enough to give me a discount and replaced the tires for $350. Teves dsc mk60 has been a problem not only in Bmws but other brands such as vw and Audi. Just google it. If you are lucky the issue surfaces itself while the vehicle is under warrantyif not, the abs pump unit is over $2300+labor and dsc module is over $1100+labor. I already spent $500 for the tires and brake flush. I have to pay one of the above prices to get my abs fixed. I did not have any warning lights before my abs (if dsc does not work abs does not work) failed. The lights came on for a few days and now they are not on this is very dangerous and needs to be investigated by NHTSA and fixed by BMW USA with a recall. I could have killed myself or hurt/kill other innocent people on that highway. Abs/dsc are very important safety components.
My vehicle has the same incident about a dozen of times in the last 4-5 years. The vehicle suddenly had check engine light, abs light, traction control light, and brake light on, engineer started to knocking, speed forced down to less than 30 mph within in seconds. It was quite scaring when the vehicle was on the highway with speed at ~50-70 mpg. My dealer has made several repairs, changing everything in this speed controlling system multiple times according to the book, including throttle body twice, electric harness three times, and control computer unit once, but the problem recurs. Occasionally, resetting the system and/or restarting the car, and sometimes reconnecting every parts of the system can avoid the problem for a while (from a days to 1-2 years). Although it is unpredictable in when, it would come back. The problem seems to come more often when the weather become more wet. This mimics the behavior of the poor electric connections controlling the tails and turning lights of the same model, which was recalled by BMW a couple of years ago. It seems that the same electric connectors are used in this speed controlling system. Obviously, this problem is more dangerous than the signaling light issue since it is more likely to lead to severe accidents/crashes in the highway; I might be dead or severely injured if I did not responded quickly enough when was in I-95 for example.
Faulty dmtl now needs a third component at 49,000. Miles. Just replaced defective wiring harness in trunk that caused some lights to fail and burnt up a relay faulty design. Transmission cable gets stuck when shifting out of drive & n. Needs cable re aligned or replaced for the second time in 49,000. Miles very dangerous. Door lock actuator has failed . Again. Some happen while driving others affect passengers saftey.
