My engine is being effected by the recall. There is smoke and a burning smell coming from my engine. The recall was issued March 2 2002 and today is January 11, 2022. My truck is driving worse daily and I can not get it inspected because it will not read my system.

I own a 2009 BMW X5 diesel. BMW has recognized an issue with a sensor in the selective catalytic reduction (scr) active tank. The tank stores diesel fluid. Diesel fluid is added into diesel to reduce the amount of emissions that is released from the vehicle. BMW extended the warranty for this part but it is unknown how they determine the amount of this extension. My vehicle is over the extended warranty by 4 months but under the mileage limit by 40,000 miles. This issue should be a recall call and not an extended warranty with limited time to repair the issue. I attempted to resolve this with sean s. At BMW customer relations by informing him that this is my commuter vehicle and I have to drive this car every day. I also informed him that if not resolved this will lead to a large amount of pollution released to the environment. Sean s. Acting as a representative of BMW north America stated they are only concerned about their business and their bottom line and only will assist me if I'm a loyal customer. They viewed me as not a Smart business move to fix the issue and indicated they are not concern for the environment and ok for me to continue to drive this car that is putting out 10x the amount of pollution as gas. Researching the internet there are many BMW X5 owners driving their vehicle with this defective sensor and many using hacks to trick the ecu and many using alternative non oem parts and forcing a fitment. All of this is due to the limited time BMW is offering to fix this issue and the extreme cost of the repair at a BMW service center.

Then went to the BMW dealer (patrict BMW) in schaumburg IL for diagnostic and found out there was a problem in the fuel system electrically. The wiring harness were melted , blew fuse and relay and they said the motor also burned out. I will attached document from the BMW dealer for moe info.

Driving through the neighbor hood after some rain, ended up driving through a few inches of rain water, while the opposite traffic struck the same puddle, it caused the front of intake system right under the hood to suck in water causing the BMW SUV to light up multiple sensors, loose alot of power and 4x4 traction stability to act up. The rainwater that got ingested almost causing the engine to hydrolock or sieze up. The SUV became undepedable due to all the error codes acting lighting up and causing the SUV to run at low power.

This issue is for a 2009 BMW X5 3. 5d (diesel) SUV. When slowing down to a near or rolling stop at approximately 2 mph and then attempting to accelerate quickly while turning, the vehicle continues to roll without power for up to 3 seconds. Scenario: pull up to an intersection for a right or left turn, slow to a near stop, then accelerate. The vehicle just rolls forward when crossing traffic or attempting to pull away quickly. Meanwhile, traffic is approaching you at speed and an accident could easily occur. Volkswagen diesel vehicles had a similar problem with their dynamic stability control (dsc) system recent. The key factor may be operating under these conditions while attempting a turn, which invokes dsc. I have experienced this several times since purchase of the vehicle in August 2009.
