Transfer Case problems of the 2014 BMW 328

Was experiencing an abnormal noise from the middle of the car while accelerating and DE accelerating, brought to BMW dealership and was told I needed a new transfer case, was also told this issue was abnormal with my car having less miles than intended for what year it was. They also said eventually my awd function would no longer work if not replaced in my 328i xdrive.

BMW failed to repair the recall work on the cv joint and transfer case. Failed to reimburse repair expenses.

Sudden failure of the transfer case while making a left turn. Lost of all power to the wheels.

I lost drive fuctions while driving my 2014 BMW 328d xdrive. I was making a left hand turn when I heard a loud noise as if I hit something. My display showed drivetrain malfunction and put itself into neutral. I narrowly missed getting t-boned by on-coming traffic. I managed to let it roll to the side of the road imediately after the turn. I could not move the car and had to have it towed to a shop. The main cause was the transfer case. The rear drive line lost it fuction turning the car from awd to fwd and would not move. This is a major concern and issue that BMW must address. I narrowly escaped serious injury or death. If the oncoming cars did not slow down or if I took the turn 1 second later I would have been hit on the passenger side.

Driving straight on flamingo road at 45 mph in sunrise FL and experienced major power loss in driving power with no transmission control. Pulled on the side and able to drive very slowly 10 mph. Had to be towed to dealer. Transfer case and transmission were replaced. Such component failures should not have occurred. Vehicle has only 58,000 miles. I was given a reason of premature component failure/manufacturing defect from the dealer. After the repair, a major improvement occurred on the efficiency indicators that proves to the fact that I had this problem since the I purchased the vehicle new and it had deteriorating conditions. There may impact on other vehicles in the same category that could point to a recall. Major costs incurred from towing and repairs that were out the warranty that expired in Dec 2014. Dealer declined to absorb such costs. A complaint was also was submitted to the manufacturer corp office.

We were driving our BMW 328d xdrive wagon and accelerating straight to enter the interstate when there was loss of all drive power and the engine began to rev high. No error messages activated. We were fortunate to be able to drift out off traffic as no other cars were coming close. Vehicle was towed to dealership and determined to be defective transfer case.
