1 Engine Oil Leaking problem of the 2009 BMW 535

Failure Date: 12/23/2019

BMW 2009 535 xi owner. Out of all of the times taking the car for service for various reasons, I decided to look for information regarding my latest issue. Twin turbo. I was told the rear turbo was bad and it is recommended to do both. I had the car serviced in October, they told me the oil smell was due to the spring from oil cap missing. Before oct 2019 I complained about the oil smell and was told it was a leak from a hose (I never saw any fluids on ground) this last incident, I was on the road when I exited the highway I got an engine warning to shut off the engine immediately. Oil was low. I took it back to BMW and I was told the rear turbo was bad. They now want $6,900. I read in a few posts that the twin turbo issue was ext. To 10 years or 120,000 miles. My car was first purchase in may 2009. I am assuming I am out of time. I was never notified of a recall. My VIN number does not come up with any recalls, even though most of the issues are the same as other 2009 BMW owners. My car does not have 120,000 miles yet. I took the car to BMW for vanos solenoids in oct 2019. And another time in oct because the car over heated suddenly in less than half a mile. It was the fan. Recently I learned that some of the 2009 BMW 535 had a recall but I never received anything. I questioned the dealer but he said he had nothing on file. Further reading I found out that the company I believed called vanos was doing the recalls. In October 2019 I spent about $3,000 in repairs. I now believe I could have been covered by a recall or ext. Warranty. Overall on different issues I think I have spent over $13,000 in repairs (including transfer case and differential that the warranty did not pay because the car did not have specified 17� tires: but I bought with staggered 18� tires). I still owe approximately $7,500 to the bank. I take it to be serviced all the time, so I'm baffled.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem of the 2010 BMW 535

Failure Date: 06/24/2019

My BMW 2010 5 series gt ( campaign 10v446000 ) has had issues pertaining too a check valve of the break vacuum pump that leaks a small amount of lubricating oil. Over time this has contaminated my brake booster, and also there has been issues with the power assit braking performance that has led too loss of power assist braking which I've done research and that could potentially increase a risk of an accident. My fuel guage has also displayed a larger amount of fuel than was actually in the tank, which could also increase my vehicle too stall and increase a chance of me being in a accident.

5 Engine Oil Leaking problem of the 2009 BMW 535

Failure Date: 03/07/2016

Takata recall, I bought the car back in late August, at a dealership called deluxe auto located in linden, new jersey. The dealership offered me a warranty, 30 days free and 90 days to decide to get the warranty or not. The initial offer was about 60$ monthly, at 79k miles. After having the car for a month driving on the highway late at night the car starting shaking and turned off on the highway. Fuel pump errors. Car was towed off the highway. After a few hrs car started and ran normally. Went to the dealership, got warranty. The offer now was at 120$ a month. They did the job, car ran normally. Happened again in brooklyn, sent car back to dealer they said nothing came up on the computer, nothing they can do. After a few months same thing happened. This time in connecticut, sent it to the nearest mechanic shop, bill came to 850, not including towing 138$. Now back to my dealership, when I went to them to pay for the warranty, my father used his credit card, since then I figured it would charge it monthly automatically. That is not the case, as I found out the dealership said nothing they can do. Other problem, car started leaking oil, on oil housing unit, engine oil valve. Got them both fixed at about 500$ at a local mechanic shop. Now a week later, at 1am of March 7th of 2016 I'm starting the car, it turns on and gives an error "engine reduced power" and "engine pressure too low, shut off engine immediately ". I'm about to be 22, gonna start college soon, I have been making payments to a 20k car, on top of all the maintance problems that this dealership sold me and tricked me into. I dont know if me writing all this would help me in any way but this sucks, on top of me being trapped on a highway until a tow truck comes, in nyc, 2 times where cars fly by you I want that when dealership sell cars to be sure that the customers are safe driving them. I hope it helps.
