I own a 2010 BMW X5 xdrive30i (VIN: 5uxfe4c52al277208) with two active recalls: the vanos bolt recall (23v-707) and the pcv valve heater recall (22v-119). Despite these being federally mandated safety repairs, sharpe BMW in grand rapids, mi refused to perform the work without a paid diagnostic and potential full repair payment upfront, stating reimbursement would be decided afterward. I was sent home in an unsafe, recalled vehicle that visibly and audibly shakes at startup and frequently stalls. Other engine components have now failed due to the vanos issue and the vehicle is now inoperable. BMW na has acknowledged contact, but has only redirected me back to the same dealer without offering resolution. This has created financial hardship and an ongoing safety concern.
The contact owns a 2010 BMW X5. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 22v119000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated while driving approximately 35-40 mph, the vehicle started overheating and an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact veered to side of the road and turned off the vehicle until the engine cooled down. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the pcv valve heater needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
My valve cover and crankcase are manufactured bad the crankcase it's cracked and licking, which it damage my valve covers, my car was driving good all of the sudden it doesn't drive smooth.
