Casually picking up from a stop light when my car just randomly decided to turn off on the middle of the road and go into neutral. I lost power steering and brakes. I was able to manage to pull over and restart the car and I was welcomed with a bunch of check engine lights and many other malfunctions. Got the car towed and comes out that the timing chain has failed as well as the oil pump and resulted in damage to the camshaft and cylinder head of the motor. This is just insane how all of this happened in just a few seconds. I took care of my car did oil changes on time, coolant, brakes, transmission fluid. I took care of my car. BMW put me in a very unsafe condition that day and I’m very upset because that could have ended very bad for me. The n20 motor has been very well known to fail at any time without any warning and BMW has yet to recall this motor. It became very bad to the point to where they even got sued but only limited the warranty up to 100k miles. Many people experienced this problem before 100k and some experienced it earlier. Their is no given time when this timing chain can fail on you. In my case so many things were damaged in the engine and I even contacted BMW na and they didn’t even care to help. BMW put me in a very bad spot and they want me to replace the engine and pay labor and pay more than what the cars worth! BMW is crazy for this and I hope all of these engines get recalled and get replaced free of charge without worrying about how many miles you got on the car.

Picked up from a stop light no aggressive but normally and a few seconds after going around 20-30ish mph the car stalls and goes into neutral. I was really confused and panicking of what happened, the cars behind me almost crashed into me and I was trying to manage to pull the car over to the side of road and thankfully I did. This could have caused a serious injury to me and others. As I was able to pull off to the side of the road I try to start my car back up and it cranks and cranks for a few seconds which it normally never does and finally when it starts back up the car just starts miss firing like crazy and the check engine light comes on and the car is throwing codes all over the place like drive train malfunction, engine malfunction, low oil pressure, check engine oil, auto stop start malfunction. I was super confused so I shut it off and tried to start it again but it didn’t help at all. I drove slowly into a parking lot and got it towed to a independent repair shop to which they diagnosed the timing chain guides breaking and falling into the oil pump, clogging the oil pump then causing further damage due to no oil going to the top of the motor. I was very confused how all of this could have happened since I took care of my car . If the car had given me a service warning light I would have went and got my engine serviced for this job. Now the thing is these timing chain jobs aren’t cheap and replacing the oil pump chain is even more expensive since it requires lowering the sub frame. Now in my case the timing was so bad to where the engine did something to the cylinders as of what my mechanic said. So my engine is toast and I need a new engine. Car has a hunk of metal parked in my driveway now that I’m still paying off. Good job BMW. I really want to sue BMW for this bs. The car is poorly designed and I’m super thankful this issue did not occur on the freeway because I could have died. I looked into the BMW warranty and it’s only covering up to 100k.

Warning for chassis stabilization is on, I encountered not being able to accelerate and had the car towed. I was on a main road and I got rear ended immediately after I was not able to accelerate and I had my hazard lights flashing.

When I'm at a stop my car suddenly jumps forward when I have my foot on the brake this is a ongoing issue. It's scary cause I feel like I'm going to hit something or someone if I'm at a stop light and someone is crossing the street my car could jump and hit them. I do not drive this vehicle no more cause of this. It also happens when I'm driving it picks up speed on it's own. This happens when ever the car is driven anywhere.

Vacuum pump; epdw, vacuum lines - a vacuum pump is used to supply a vacuum for teh vehicle components that require this, such as the brake booster.

Takata recall,, 12-20-2017 I was in a collision. My vehicle rear ended a vehicle while trying to stop. I was alone in my vehicle. The driver side steering wheel and knee airbags deployed. The passenger front and rear side curtain airbags deployed. The driver side front and rear side curtain airbags failed to deploy. BMW upon my request and complaints had the vehicle checked my one of their engineers. Who I was told said that the driver side curtain airbags should not have deployed. When I asked them why would the passengers if I was alone and was told OH that's a safety precaution don't worry about it.

I had been driving my 528i (BMW 1999) this past winter when I noticed the power brakes were no longer working. I had to depress the peddle with no assist, and while the car di eventually stop, it could have been unfortunate if my wife or daughter were faced with this condition suddenly. Power brake booster apparently went bad, water leaking in and freezing, fortunately no on e injured.

Common abs asc+t electronic control unit failure disabled odometer, speedometer, cruise control, automatic door locks, and alarm disabled, anti-lock brakes disabled, and stability control disabled. The car can no longer be locked to keep out intruders, the odometer is disabled and an unknown amount of mileage is being added to the vehicle(also a violation of California vehicle code cvc), the anti-lock brakes and stability control will not work and the car is out right dangerous to drive in bad weather. BMW is aware of the abs control module problems in these cars and has done nothing to rectify the situation except offer a very expensive replacement part with no upgrades to prevent future failures. My personal vehicle has had the module fail at only 94k miles. There are many others out there with the vary same complaint. If I was the original owner I would be talking with a lawyer about californian "lemon laws". The abs system, automatic locking system, and lock system are all major safety hazards. The odometer not working I believe falls under a cvc violation possibly a federal mandate violation.

Asc control unit failed. This resulted in failure of anti-lock brakes and traction control and speedometer on my 1999 BMW 528i. BMW has a service bulletin out on this issue for 5 series cars 9/98 to 9/00 (mine was built 10/98). Bulletin info: vs-23/weintuch baugruppe/group:32 32 01 00 (646) dated 11/2000. The repair instructions code is ra 24 52 515/ 34 52 516. After unit failed, I was involved in an emergency situation in which I had to brake heavily and all four wheels locked up. However I managed to stop within 2 feet of the car that pulled in front of me. . Read more...
