Driving my 69 year old wife's 2011 BMW 550ix with m sport pkg. With goodyear run flat's o. E. M. German tire's when the left front tire side wall ruptured for no reason. Car always garaged and 4900 miles on car.
This complaint is concerning my 2011 BMW 550i. I have been having problems with my BMW since about 7000 miles on the vehicle. The brakes keep locking, the rotors keep grinding and grooving, nose coming from the brakes while driving and stopping, and the dealer has changed them more than 4 times and the issues continues to happen. They advised me that they cannot fix it and there is nothing else they can do. Please help me with my vehicle issue. It has been parked from more than a year and a half and I feel that it is a safety issue. I feel like my life is in danger if I drive this vehicle.
I have had to replace 3 right front tires and 3 left front tires because they are constantly getting bubbles on the tires. The last tire was replaced on 8/20/15 and had only 204 miles. The first tire was replaced on 6/10/13 and it has not stopped. Average miles for the tires are 6,000 to 8,000. They are good year excellence 245/40 r 19. Two times I have had blow-outs. I have had 5 BMW's and never experienced this before. They just told me this car is to go to the store, etc. , not for long trips. I have not used this car for a long trip yet. But I feel something is wrong and should be corrected. The tires are unsafe. The tires are $ 500 each, which I spent $ 3,000. So far. Are this tires in a recall? please get back to me with a suitable answer.
Both rear wheels are cracked.
Bulge in sidewall of goodyear tire many complaints online.
Tires - as with all other complaints regarding the goodyear "run flat" tires, I have had no less than 7 bulges requiring 7 new tires. I did purchase an extended tire warranty so BMW covered the tires. The alarming thing is that BMW of north houston refuses to admit there are any issue with these tires. From reading all of the complaints, I have a hard time believing it is the driver or potholes as I have been told. Replaced the rear tires with comparable firestone tires and I have not had one issue. I still have the goodyear tires on the front and just two months ago had to have it replaced. My tire warranty expires November 2015, will replace them with firestone then. Please do something before someone is killed.
