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.
As I was driving on a bridge my car completely went into a stop. Breaks instantly locked and my car would not drive, turn on, or go on neutral the breaks stayed in lock. Police offerup even tried to see if it's a simple break button. Nothing worked I was in the middle of a bridge lucky the car behind me swerved right away and myself and my daughter were safe. I called my sister who lived down the street, she came right away and parked behind me with her emergency safety lights on. The car went into shock I couldn't even put it in neutral so I can move it from the middle of the bridge. Towed it to BMW now they say it's the computer system and the wires of the car that connects to the computer. Cost to fix is over 3,500 I can not afford to fix. I have 4 teenage kids and now no car because I cannot afford to pay for the car services. In the past 3 years I have paid over 8k in repairs by BMW dealership services. This is not fair.
The car loss power and shutdown with me twice while driving on the highway. (95 north)error messages "electrical system malfunction continue driving is not possible. Have the system checked by the nearest BMW center", "transmission malfunction"," restraint system malfunction", "fault in passenger-restraint system" the second time that happened to me , I had the car towed by aaa at 5am after work. The car parking brake was luck , so aaa had to drag the into the flat bed, this is a serious issue BMW makes a lot of money therefore should be held accountable and fix the issue before someone get kill. The cause is water getting into the trunk and socking all the electrical wires in the truck of the car causing everything to go crazy. BMW is aware of the issue. I saw a few class action case against BMW for the issues I have here.
The contact owns a 2010 BMW X5. While driving 50 mph, the engine lost power and the vehicle would not move forward. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tranmission had to be changed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Park distance control issue. Upon selection of reverse, park distance control (pdc) seem to function properly, giving correct visual and audible alerts to objects. Upon transition to drive, however, pdc malfunctions in the following manner: 1) visual alert on control display indicates in red, alerting me to an object in close proximity, even when no object in near 2) continuous audible tone corresponding to red display. This continuous tone/alert is displayed for up to 20 seconds, upon which time both indications cease.
