general problems of the 2006 BMW 750

The contact owns a 2006 BMW 750li. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. Additionally, there was oil leaking onto the ground and also onto the engine. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.

The doors from inside don't open up when the car loses power you are locked inside also the engine smokes even when the gaskets and seals have been replaced. The car suspension in the rear is terrible also air bag light goes on and off even when the dealer ran diagnosis on the car car is parked.

In 2009, we bought this 2006 BMW 750li as pre-owned and certified warranty from BMW of tenafly, new jersey. We have registration address maintained in new jersey, and have not updated, even though we moved to chicago, illinois in summer of 2011. BMW issued 6 recalls for 7-series manufactured between 2005 and 2008. The recalls on manufacturer defects on electric and transmission in 2012 and 2013, and again in 2017. We missed all of the notices for these recalls. The vehicle was driven for less than 50,000 miles, from 2009 to 2019. The vehicle was inspected, and in good mechanical conditions, as well as body, since the vehicle has been garaged most of times. Since 2019, the vehicle has been in shops for repairs for electric and transmission and engine. It has been more than 3 years for our vehicle in the shops, and over $21,000 spent, there is no sign that the vehicle can be driven. Thus, we checked the online and found out the BMW recalls on this vehicle in 2012 and 2013. We called BMW customer relations & services, multiple times. BMW denied the recalls. We checked with the attorneys, including the ones who filed class action suits against BMW with billion dollars win for the customers on BMW defects. All said BMW shall honor their recalls. Further, the recalls will never be expired. Now BMW has declined taking calls, responding email, and recently shifting the failing repair to a BMW dealer. What shall we do? we have sent letter to their legal department. A shop who tried to repair over 2 years reported to us that this 2006 BMW 750li has a very bad reputation on electric and transmission. He said this is a common agreement among BMW dealers. Since BMW customer relations and services now shut us out, what department within BMW shall we go to. Shall we find an attorney for another class action suit, which occurred already?.

My 2006 BMW 750li was parked in my drive on Friday 7/5/2019 around 11:00 p. M. And remained there. On Sunday morning 7/7/2019 around 8:45 a. M. My car alarm sounded and when I look outside my car was on fire. The blaze from the firs not only burned up my BMW but also my damaged my SUV and damaged my other car. The car was parked for over 36 hours before the fire began.

The transmission drive fault light and engine light are coming on and the car does not want to switch gears. On some occasions park becomes neutral, also it hesitates to start. Sometimes the only gear that will work is reverse. The car was just started, in motion on the street and highway when these problems have occurred.

The car transmission will not engage. If you try to put the car in reverse or forward gear nothing happens. The gear goes to neutral and does not let parking gear or any other gear angage. If gear stays in drive mod and when you are wondering what to do gear suddenly engages itself and car shoots itself if brake pedal was not pressed. I contacted the dealer who notified that they could not assess the problem for a week because of busy schedule. The car is in non dealer shop currently.

2 separate issues 1st, the vehicle when in park cannot switch to drive or reverse, it will only switch to neutral. Happen on countless occasions. Brought the vehicle to russell BMW who told me I have to pay to replace the transmission. Recall 93562 is now posted on BMW website detailing the same issue. Spoke to a rep who dismissed my vehicle complaint because the VIN # does not fall under the luxury package therefore not included in the recall. 2nd issue. . The vehicle brakes when applied does not stop. Twice it's happen when I tried to slow or stop resulting in scaring me half to death and near accidents. I also address the recall 87903 with the rep who once again told me the VIN is not covered in the recall even though the year and model is included as part of the recall the question I pose is why is the VIN determining the qualification of the need to have BMW responsibly fix the 1st year model of their trial and error vehicles. I paid way too much to be told that because I did not have the comfort package my vehicle is not included in their recall? is it going to take an accident for BMW to be fix the necessary problems?.

. While driving I came to a intersection I depressed the brake pedal but the brakes did not respond. I continually applied pressure to the brake pedal until the brakes responded. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing where the mechanic replaced the front brakes and rotors. The mechanic found contamination in the brake booster and notification of NHTSA campaign id number: 10v446000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum) the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer changed the valves & then told me I had to pay for diagnostic cause the breaks weren't working which I did paid $149 plus tax. After the diagnostic the technician stated that the brake booster would have to be replaced. Per the recall, the brake booster could become contaminated over time due to the recalled failure. The manufacture advised me that the repairs would not be covered.

Took my car in to be serviced and was informed of this leak in the vacuum pump and steering switch. Consequently, I seen there was a recall for 2006 Bmws with a NHTSA campaign id number of 10v446000 with a recall date of 2012-10-01 for the vacuum pump. I called the dealership and they told me my car wasn't included. . . . . But I believe it should be.

When I first bought the car I had problems with the air conditioner, since then my car has been in the shop almost monthly for problems with the engine and the transmission and steering. BMW writes on the yellow sheet that they have you sign with what you tell them but when you go back the invoice that you are given is different that what you signed for. I recently learned that when I noticed that the invoice does not have the information that was written when I was in front of the service advisor. Which means that when you are asking for copies of you repair order the information is different than your original complaint.

2006 750 li engine runs rough and jumps at a cold start. ***** the consumer was told by the dealership, the vehicle couldn't be fixed because the new software for the engine needed to be updated.
