5 Equipment problem of the 2007 BMW 750

Failure Date: 07/08/2021

1) the electrical section of the dashboard for speed, checking gas levels etc. Is no longer visible. It is available for inspection! 2) for the obvious reason: unable to determine all safety measures such as speed, driving safety such as gas level, warning signals etc. ! 3) the problem was the result of numerous visits to the dealership regarding the rain leaking into the car. Which they said they were unable to find a leak or leaks. Advised the of possible recall car latch issues where the water leaks into the car via trunk etc. They finally realized their error. But failed to repair. Said it was a recall issue. 4) as mentioned. . . Has been inspected numerous times by the dealership in willoughby, OH! 5) of course there were warning signs that there was a problem or would eventually be a problem when water starts getting into your car: when it shouldn't (doors closed, windows up sunroof closed etc. However, as I said previously, the dealership inspected the car enough times to find what the problem was and avoid the damage cause: (unless it is/was an issue that warrant a recall of the car's sealing, sunroof, latch etc. That was deffective!!! note: the dealership indicated that the water was getting in to the car, but couldn't stop it from getting in didn't have the knowledge to fix? wouldn't that be a recall matter? my safety & others is at stake if you don't take responsibility of a defect in this BMW.

7 Equipment problem of the 2017 BMW 750

Failure Date: 04/10/2021

On 4/10/2021 around 10:45 am I was on east indepndance blvd at a red light. As I proceeded to drive my front panoramic sunroof blew out. As a retired navy vet I thought I was getting shot at and slowed the car down maintain course and realized the air russhing from my sunroof. On this day I already had a scheduled maintaince at the BMW dealsership. I proceeded to pull in and the notice I was really frantically alert showed them the sunroof and explained. They can't figure out how that occured. The vehicle is a 2017 BMW xi drive with only 22000 miles roughly and I only had the vehicle since August 2020. I'm hoping bmy pays for this and not hit my insurance. I could of caused some serious injuries if I wasn't focused due to my military training. I failed to take pictures of the glass. The vehicle is currently at 6550 e independence blvd charlotte n. C hendrick BMW.

8 Equipment problem of the 2007 BMW 750

Failure Date: 09/08/2020

Took in for repair for water getting into car several times to dealer. Told they could not find a problem or where any water was getting into car. The last time I took it in, told that they cleaned water lines etc. So, should be ok. However, after driving it home & once a good rain came, it got wet inside the cabin/car again! they had the car, worked on it etc. However, when it was picked up again, told that the dash screen was damaged. But rather than blame it on the water getting into the car etc. ; they blamed it on something else which cost an unbelievable price to repair. Or they failed to admit their unbelievable car care and customer care/service. Subsequently, the lost of being able to see the car dash, screen etc. : all of the systems information: gas level, speed, lights, navigation etc. Has been lost.

9 Equipment problem of the 2010 BMW 750

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

I purchased the 2010 BMW 750 li in oct 2017. In April 2018, I began to have issues and messages constantly popped up concerning engine temp drive moderately and drivetrain malfunction. I kept the car's maintenance up, however, even a week after an oil & filter change, I'd get the low oil warnings & needed to add oil constantly. Oil was leaking bad. The car would get up to 35-40 mph (between 1 & 2 rpm) & start shaking or wouldn't shift over. I'd have to press accelerator down to accelerate to atleast 70 mph so the shaking & vibration could stop. The car was taken to a BMW repair shop in 08/28/2018. Ignition coils, spark plugs, oil change, filters, all were replaced. Brake fluid was flushed as well. The oil issue never stopped. After months of adding oil every few days, the car was taken back to the BMW shop (April 2019). At that point, I was told to take to the BMW repair shop dealership, where they diagnosed & they performed the n63 engine recall repairs in may 2019. The smoking subsided, but in July 2019, the car was back in BMW's repair shop because it had now gotten the same readings but it had also begun to smoke badly, upon starting, stopping at traffic lights or stop signs. Along with engine temp lights, and drivetrain malfunction. The car was repaired again. Engine temp light came on every day as soon as I crunk the car. The service manager told me it would go off in July 2019, after the repairs. December 2019, engine temp light is still on. Again, several lights are now on. Drivetrain malfunction also and the car is not shifting properly, as before. It's vibrating at 35 mph. Because it's the holidays, the BMW dealership and service department are closed. First thing tomorrow, I will be back there. I have to work and afraid that the car will eventually give out on me. It's all I have. I'm basically working to fix the car!.

10 Equipment problem of the 2011 BMW 750

Failure Date: 11/08/2019

The driver side door would not fully latch/close after several attempts, which prevented me form being able to drive the car. Several attempts were made by viewing door latch to make sure there was no obstruction and the latch was positioned correctly. The inside door handle also seemed to be working fine. After waiting on a tow truck to arrive the driver manipulated the same pieces I did, one exception being, he let the window down, and then pushed door close and it latched. I am now scared to drive it since I don't know if it will happen again. I drove it to baron BMW (shawnee mission, kansas) and was told there was noting they could do unless it happened again/stopped working at which point I would need to have it towed. I later learned that a friend (similar car, just a year or two older) had the same issue with her right side passenger door. I checked the recall and don't see that my car has any open recalls. I cannot just wait to see if this is going to happen again and I do need to be able to drive my car. Please advise. Chris brown 913. 484. 6725; brownchr@umkc. Edu.

29 Equipment problem of the 2012 BMW 750

Failure Date: 07/15/2016

The engine malfunctioned in my car while driving and is a safety hazard to myself and others on public roads with multiple engine parts identified by the manufacturer to be defective. The car sporadically stops operating with full power and there have been several reports of instant engine failure while driving. BMW issued what they have called the n63 customer care package on Dec. 29, 2014 to address failures on the engine regardless of warranty and mileage, but have denied this service for my vehicle. The defective engine is in the following vehicles: f01 and f02 (7 series sedan)¿ produced from 3/2009 to 6/2012 f04 (active hybrid 7)¿ produced from 4/2010 to 6/2012 f07 (gran turismo)¿ produced from 9/2009 to 6/2012 f10 (5 series sedan)¿ produced from 3/2010 to 7/2013 f12 (6 series convertible)¿ produced from 3/2011 to 7/2012 f13 (6 series coupe)¿ produced from 7/2011 to 7/2012 e70 (x5)¿ produced from 3/2010 to 6/2013 e71 (x6)¿ produced from 7/2008 to 6/2014 e72 (activehybrid x6)¿ produced from 9/2009 to 9/2011 I purchased the vehicle with 40,429 miles and michigan rebuilt salvage title in may of 2016 after it was in an accident in August 2015. The position of BMW is that they will not perform the service on the vehicle now as it was reported as an insurance loss, but likely thousands of these vehicles operate on public roads legally with rebuilt titles. I feel the condition is a true safety risk and should be handled under a recall to require proper correction and ensure public safety rather than a discretionary service from BMW to protect their reputation and expenses. Attached is the michigan rebuilt title and document for re-certification showing the repairs did not include the motor. Also included is the correspondence with BMW and a photos of the vehicle after repair.

31 Equipment problem of the 2008 BMW 750

Failure Date: 05/22/2016

The driver side door will not close shut. This starting occurring intermittently in early may 2016 and took several attempts of lifting the door handle several times before the soft lock would take. Today 22 may 2016, the door failed to close and lock after multiple attempts and extensively exercising the door handles from both inside and outside the vehicle. Fortunately the car was not in motion during the many times the problem occurred, but it should be obvious that the vehicle cannot be driven safely if the door does not close. In reading up and educating myself on this defect, this appears to have been a known issue in the previous year of this same model but for whatever reason, the recall was not extend to the 2008. I love the BMW 7 series particularly this 750, but I will have to end my 12 year marriage of owning BMW¿s if they choose not to remedy this defect in the 2008.

35 Equipment problem of the 2006 BMW 750

Failure Date: 08/21/2014

This vehicle has become a money eating one. The problem started with a jolt. The car would make a jumping forward movement similar to been hit from the back. I took to several mechanics including BMW dealer and made server repairs base on recommendations but the problem continues. Eventually, the car will cut off and shifts from drive to neutral while driving. I took to BMW dealer several times but the problems was not identified so no solution was possible. At one point the entire system died and I was told by a mechanic that I needed a new alternator and battery - this did not stop the problem. Eventually, I was told by the BMW dealer that I needed a new transmission. I took to local transmission person who installed a rebuilt transmission. The car was ok for a few days then another problem occurs. When in parking position the level does not go to p it shifts to n - again! after I spent so much money. I was told by the mechanic that the car is actually in park but he has no idea why the computer is not doing the right thing. I am going crazy with this situation and wish BMW would do something because their cars are extremely expensive but instead of getting the value I ended up getting a money eating vehicle.
