Equipment Problems of BMW 750 - part 2

Own 2008 BMW 750 w/ soft close doors. Having the same issue as the 2005-2007 750s that have been recalled. At 35 mph, door flew open and I couldn't close. Sometimes it latches and sometimes it doesn't. Cpo just expired 1 month ago. Dealer wants $ 1800 to fix. I know other owners w/ soft close doors - nothing but headaches. Considering the 2008 has the same doors as the 2007, I cannot imagine why the recall didn't extend to the 2008 also.

I own a 2008 BMW 750li with soft close doors. The passenger side front door will not close properly. The soft close does not work at all anymore and 9 times out of 10 the door will not close at all. I have to repeatedly try to close the door over and over and over. If this is the same problem as previous models, why is this not part of a recall.

My vehicle has a drivers side defective door latch leaving the door to occasionally not close properly and unexpectedly open. This is a critical vehicle component that is not serving its purpose causing potential loss of vehicle control or injury to persons inside and outside the vehicle. Due to extremely poor design my vehicles navigation/audio components are inoperable. Leakage of fluid from the trunk hydraulic shock down onto the navigation system has resulted in wiring system problems that may result in fire and or loss of lighting. I have maintained my vehicle since purchase with the most attentive and prestigious service. I am extremely concerned and disappointed that I am having these safety and poor design problems due to BMW defects and flaws. Last week I called BMW of north America regarding these 2 safety issues. I was advised to take it to by BMW service center for inspection and contact them upon doing so. Yesterday I contacted them in an attempt to forward the diagnosis/action plan and to my surprise not only was I refused the right to forward the paperwork but was also refused any remedy by BMW.

I unlocked my vehicle to open the driver side door so that I may enter. The door opened as it normally should, I entered the vehicle and attempted to close the door. The door would not latch on to the rest of the car. The door will swing open and in the close position properly, but the latch itself would not operate, therefore it is impossible to drive the car in a safe manner. Upon research and consulting with a german car mechanic, it appears that the "soft close" function of the door failed, causing the latch to seize and become inoperable. The 2005-2007 models for this exact vehicle were recalled on October 28th, 2012 for the same exact issue, however my 2008 model was not included as part of the recall. The 2005-2007 models are identical to the 2008 model, and use all of the same exact parts, including the door latch. The 2008 model should have been included in this recall, as the same defective door latch mechanism is used in this car as well. A simple google search of "BMW 7 series door not closing" also yeilds several hundred reports of other people having this same issue. Door latches should be designed to last the life of the car, as it is a major safety issue to drive with your door open.

Two continuous issues: 1. When depressing the gas pedal the vehicle would hesitate, rpm's would shoot up, and would take 3-10 seconds to regain power and for car to accelerate. I know this doesn't make sense but this happens regularly when car sits in the hot sun during the day. Does not happen during cooler days. 2. When coming to a stop sign the vehicle makes a hard jerk and feels like someone slamming into the back of the car - hard. The car then jerks into gear. The dsc indicator light then flashes several times until I resume normal speed and then the light goes out. I'm very surprised this hasn't caused an accident or injury to my neck, it's that hard of a jerk. I've had the car to the local dealership and they can't find anything wrong. It's to the point where I don't want to drive my BMW for any unnecessary errands and thought I would upgrade to a newer 750li in the near future but not sure if I want to purchase this model again. BMW, please step up and fix this issue - there are too many complaints out there for this to continue to be ignored.

The contact owns a 2007 BMW 750i. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph, the driver's side door erroneously became unlocked and opened independently. The contact also stated that the "soft close" feature on the driver's side door would intermittently malfunction, causing the door to remain open and not close. The contact had the latch replaced and continued to have the same problem. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number 12v504000 (latches/locks/linkages). The contact indicated that the vehicle exhibited the same defect that was listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 73,000.

Back wheel rim broken and two front tires showed bulges. Looks like there was an issue with model. Two of my friends car (same make and model) has same issues.

BMW 2006 750li in 2013 the doors open up after driving to wife job to drop her off, after doing so left the parking lot made a left u-turn, front passenger door open up unexpected! second time my mother was in the rear passenger side lucky all had the seat belts on! I took the car to BMW dealership in bayside they told me its wasn't the software it was the hardware in the door, and that this recall wasn't for my problem. Cost $1345. 00 now in 2015 they blame it on the door handle malfunction, which this part is not in the recall, some say latches, locks, linkages are covered but not door handle so I had to pay again for the second time this was $1645. 00 for the rear door! funny have two more doors to go! so BMW decided to come up a part that is not named in the recall so the customer will have to pay for it! my opinion! the door don't smell of new paint! just saying! if the door open up while in motion with the locks activated how is not coved by this recall when it clearly says door latches, lock, linkages,.

Vehicle drive moderate warning is display but reading some of the complaints on this sight I have encounter some similar problems with the shifting of the transmission but I took my car to BMW of columbus GA. And they found nothing wrong. The transmission slams very hard and sounds like a loud a crash.

Own a 2007 BMW 750li. I started having problems with my driver side door several weeks ago. My driver door would not shut. Yesterday, I was at the work, went back to my car, used the remote and the door opened. Got into my car and my door would not shut. I tried to use the automatic lock and it did not work. I used the key on the driver side and waited until I heard it catch, this reengaged my lock so I was able to close the door. Update comp code to latches/locks/linkages. Very dangerous not having the door lock. Need to be a general recall on this defect.

On said date I was sitting idle while talking on my cell phone. The car was in park. It was cold in car so I went to turn the heat up and when I did the vehicle went into neutral and started to roll. I then stopped the car and turned it off. I then restarted the car and went to turn the heat on once again and the vehicle once again went into neutral. I then called BMW and advised them of what happened. The vehicle was already scheduled for a routine service the following week. On 2/22/13 I was parked in a parking lot and was exiting the car to step out for just a moment when the vehicle began to roll. I looked and the vehicle was in neutral. I had to turn vehicle off to get it into park.

Door mechanical/electrical problem - door will not lock/unlock. Dealer replaced lock mechanism under warranty. It happened again in June 2014, dealer fixed it for $1200. Starting August 2014 I have again this issue. Paying $1200 to fix a problem fixed 3 months earlier is not fair.
