The auto is unsafe to drive the steering sensor keeps malfunctioning and puts car in limp mode. Happened 7 times in one day, car in limp mode does not have enough power to get out of traffic . Making a left turn in heavy traffic it malfunctioned and traffic behind me came extremely close to collision because car lost 99% of power. Car has active recalls very old now BMW says tey have no parts to repair. This car has 37,186 miles on it , making the operating cost over $2. 00 a mile not including gasoline or maintainence. To reset malfuntioning sensor the battery is disconected to reboot the engine controlls reconected restart then turn hard left and then hard right, normal driving is resumed on this unit it only works untill you slow for traffic or to make a turn making the car and traffic around it extemely unsafe as the auto has sudden power loss. The recalls on auto are old and again BMW say no replacement parts. Phone messages to servicing dealer are unanswered and where I live ther is no dealer. My own search on the internet revealed all 5 series BMW have complaints of this malfunction. I am a cancer patient and using this vehicle to travel to treatments is going to kill me before the cancer. And maybe other innocent people too. I feel that BMW looking in to it is not enough action ntsb should take immediate action and BMW should be made liable for all repairs and responcible for the transportation of affected autos to a repair center as the autos are in fact unsafe to operate.
My wife drives the vehicle along with my 2 year old daughter in the back sometimes. The dealership says they don't have the parts available. Every morning, it takes 10 to 15 mins to start the car. The last week or so, the car doesn't start at all causing chaos for us to go to work. Last week my wife was backup and the car stalled. I am concerned with this as my wife and daughter are in the car the most. This could become a serious issue.

Check engine light comes on whenever the gas cap is opened when re-fueling and a noticeable burnt smell is noticed inside the vehicle. I have to have it towed to the nearest repair shop servicing BMW near me. Please see photos attached. I incurred about $2230 in repair charges. From then on, the problem hasn't re-occured.
The 2008 - 2014 BMW X5 engine troubles are the same issues my 2007 engine are having, yet there is not a recall for the 2007. There should be since I am experiencing the same type of issues.
Recently my vehicle has been smelling of gasoline. The cabin fills up with the odor. The outside of the vehicle smells when it is running or shortly after turning off the engine. In the last few months the smell has got worse. I only recently became aware of a recall specifying similar issues. I wanted to make record of my issue and complaint regarding my vehicle.
