Upon triggering the trunk release, the integrated hydraulic dampeners failed to mitigate the tension of the lift springs. The trunk lid swung open with enough velocity to over-extend the hinges and strike the rear windshield, causing the tempered glass to shatter.
Engine light stays on. Had it looked at by mechanic. Told the issue is the valtronic actuator. Car cuts off when idling. Starts back up and drives, when I come to a stop light/stop sign car cuts off again. Have contacted BMW north America and a dealership, keep getting the runaround. Refer me back to each to contact.
My car is doing exactly as said in the recall that is not available. I'm not driving my BMW due to this problem. Please help.
I found out my 2015 BMW 528i has a recall on the engine coolant pump, and it’s causing some serious issues. The pump can fail, leading to engine overheating, which could even result in a fire. The car’s performance has dropped, and there’s a risk the engine might shut down while driving. I’m stuck waiting for the parts to come in, which means the car’s out of commission for a while. On top of that, this recall is likely going to hurt the resale value, and I’ve had to figure out alternative transportation in the meantime.
Driver side front door handle/actuator freezes in cold weather. Door will not open from inside or outside. This is a safety issue as it could trap a person inside. This seems to be a problem with the cables that connect the handles to the mechanism itself, not the actual door latch as it can be moved with fingers when the mechanism is frozen.
While I was driving on the highway I heard a loud bang and had glass rain down on me from my just exploded sunroof. I thought it might be from a rock being ejected from the truck in front of me but I followed the truck until they stopped and their load was empty.
My name is tomas j. Peribonio, I am living in buford - georgia, USA. On Thursday, April 12, 2018, at 17:00 p. M. , 75� f average temperature of the environment, I was driving my 2015 BMW car, model 528i sedan, VIN: wba5a5c5xfd519160, on I-75 in the state of georgia, USA. The speed of travel was around 70 miles per hour and I was 200 miles south of atlanta. At that time, 17:00 p. M. , I felt a very loud noise on the roof of the car and then a flurry of strange elements that hit the roof and back of the car. When I parked, I noticed that it was the sunroof of the car that, for no apparent reason, exploded into millions of pieces. When I was driving, there was no one in front nor the side, so I rule out that a stone hit. The next day I took it to the dealer where I bought the vehicle, they are checking it for repair. They gave me a replacement car until the repair is ready. In addition to the fright and high risk that I had on the highway, I am fine, but very worried that this will happen again. I travel normally every 60 days approximately 1,000 miles and I do not want to go through this high risk to my integrity, companions and cars nearby. Glasses scratched the paint on the back of the roof and the trunk. I hope you can assure me that this will not happen again in the car. I was very lucky to be driving with the inside window of the roof closed, otherwise I would be telling a very serious tragedy. The car is currently in the service department of BMW of gwinnett place, 3264 commerce Ave. Duluth, GA 30096, waiting to be repaired and to inform me about what happened.
On September 22, 2016. My 2015 BMW 528i vehicle had a drivetrain malfunction. The car died on the 95northbound and I was in the speedlane in motion going over 70 miles an hour and the car when into a dead stop and almost caused over a 30 car pileup. I was almost killed! this car is 1 years old and should have not happened. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and cannot get back in it. BMW is insisting that it is safe and they fixed the problem. I cannot put my families life's or my life in jeopardy. BMW is insisting that they fixed it and will not switch out this car for a different model. I do not want to keep this car I am in a lease with them and they will not do anything to switch out this car to a different model or vehicle type to ensure my safety. I have also researched and read online that BMW has had several incidents with the engine stopping for no reason and now my car did the same. This car was also serviced with the BMW dealership 5days prior to the incident. Can you please assist me? I am putting my life in danger as well as the other drivers on the road. Thank you so much in advance for your assistance to this matter.
