Coolant Leaking Problems of BMW 528

Turbo charger system is affected due to the engine oil filter housing failing which caused oil to transfer through out the turbo system into the coolant reservoir resulting in black sludge that caused my car to stall and not run and have to be towed. Every since this recall issue my car gives the drive-train malfunction warning which when diagnosed indicates low turbo boost pressure which I'm certain has to do with the black sludge that ran through the turbo system and coolant system because of the engine oil filter housing failing. A software update was recommended that BMW is not willing to pay for or I need to pay $3660 to replace the turbo charger which I truly believe is the result of the oil filter housing fail and oil leaking into the turbo system and the coolant system.

While driving my vehicle at around 50-60 miles per hour, the engine low coolant warning lamp came on and instructed me to go immediately to the nearest BMW dealer for service in order to avoid engine damage. I went to dealer and reported the problem. At the time of this incident, my car was still under full manufacturer bumper to bumper warranty. The vehicle was put into service and the service advisor stated that a pressure test was done and no issue was found and that it was probably air bubbles. Sounded strange to me of course but you try and trust your BMW dealers service department when it comes to diagnosing the problem. Well, approximately 85 days later, the same issue has come up again. I have been told that there may be a coolant system leak because they had to add coolant. This is an ongoing issue with the 2011 528 series and malfunction with these cars and BMW needs to issue a recall notice immediately to fix issues. You can smell an odor in the car occasionally and when the malfunction light comes on. We need the nhsa to intervene on behalf of the consumers of these vehicles.

Apparently, this is an ongoing malfunctioning issue y with the 2011 528 series and several complaints have already been filed. A recall notice should be issued immediately by BMW. All consumers of these vehicles are in need of the nhsa intervening on our behalf and demanding that bmm issue an immediate recall for repair.

Purchased a brand new 528i BMW and within months I had a coolant signal indicating low coolant. Subsequently, the coolant signal came on every six weeks, despite having it topped off at dealership. Car had inadequate power and felt like it dragged. BMW service center repeatedly failed to identify a problem. Eventually, the signal came on and an intolerable fuel odor emerged upon turning on the car. Fuel and chemical odors remain. I have read of other similar complaints online and believe there is a manufacturing defect that makes the car unsafe. The exposure to carcinogenic coolant fumes and the gas fumes are dangerous. Coolant may be leaking into the engine. Other mechanical issues may be causing the drag and continued loss of power. In one instance I left the vehicle at the BMW service center with a full tank and when it was returned to me, the fuel level had dropped significantly despite having been driven a very small amount of miles by the service people. I am very concerned that these problems pose a safety hazard to not only myself, but the general public and other BMW owners who may be unaware of these issues. I feel the car is compromised by the manufacturing defects and that efforts to repair the problems continue to exist. I feel the car is unsafe and poses a safety and health hazard and that BMW is unwilling to investigate how pervasive the problem may be. I want an investigation and feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive. This is not "the ultimate driving machine. " please investigate these problems and help prevent others from being unnecessarily subjected to toxic fumes and chemicals which may compromise the public's health and the safety of people on the road.
