2001 BMW X5 4. 4i caught fire in the engine compartment while parked in a shopping center parking lot.

Parked X5 at a ace hardware store, a person came running in saying a car was on fire! it was my X5 in glen ellen IL total loss allstate insurance claim #0158238170kr.

BMW - vent valve the vehicle is obviously engineered wrong and the company should be liable. The dealership told me it would cost $1,000 to replace and cleanup a frozen vent valve due to condensation from moisture. The extreme weather where I live cause the condensation to freeze causing oil to backup and blow the engine.

The contact owns a 2001 BMW X5. While driving 5 mph, the contact noticed smoke coming from the passenger side front tire. The passenger compartment filled with smoke. She drove to a gas station and observed all of the warning indicators beginning to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was shut off and towed to a local repair shop. A few days later, the mechanic stated that the thermostat control melted, which caused the copper housing unit to melt and rest over the fuel system of the engine. The manufacturer stated that they would investigate the failure. The dealer has not been notified. The vehicle has been repaired. The contact kept the defective parts and has supporting documentation. The current and failure mileages were 58,000.

My 2001 BMW X5 has serios issues with its design that BMW corp refuses to acknowledge or fix. 1st there is a faulty design on the pvc causing the valve to freeze and drain the oil into the engine. This almost caused a fire in my car. And cost me about $1200 to fix. 2nd there is a design flaw with the front doors whereby the either freeze shut or refuse to lock in temperatures below 17f. This is a hazard waiting to happen. Please help us ( consumers) since BMW apparently has no interest in adressing these issues.

Vehicle was parked, consumer started up the vehicle, and it did not not move. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic placed the vehicle on the diagnostic machine. Mechanic could not resolve the problem.

Consumer had just gotten out of vehicle when front end was smoking/sparks flying, and ashes coming from engine. Dealer diagnosed auxillary fan as the cause. Vehicle was part of recall 01v20600, but consumer did not receive a notice.

Consumer states a problem existed where the vehcle would suddenly cut off when in a turn and when first starting. The fan blower motor and the coolant thermostat had to be replaced to correct improper heater operation.
