My 2011 BMW X5 3. 0 sav was exhibiting rough starts on ignition and it stalled after a while and wouldn't start back up again. We had it towed to the dealership the first time and the vanos system was replaced( recall extended warranty). The next time it stalled and wouldn't start back up we were advised it was the starter so we had that replaced( $1163. 36) along with the battery( $ 260) and then the driver side window wouldn't go down and the dash board lighting went out and the alarm wouldn't engage, the dealer advised us that it was a footwell module problem covered under extended warranty until 125,000 miles. All in all the car is rigged with problems. I have decided to look up all the NHTSA recalls and have them done before anything else breaksdown. Nhtsa has the vehicle down for both front driver and passenger air bags and also the in-tank fuel pump in addition to all the ones I mentioned above.
On 21 oct 16 at approximately 3:10 pm, while driving on route 30 in hampstead, MD and approaching a roundabout at 30 miles per hour, the vehicle stalled without any warning lights on the dashboard. Lights were operable, but the vehicle would not restart or disengage out of park to move the vehicle from oncoming traffic. The vehicle was towed to the BMW dealership. If this had happened just 30 minutes before, we would have been on an interstate 795 traveling at 60 mph. There was not collision. At the BMW dealership, the service department stated it was the starter. The starter was replaced but the vehicle still would not start. The service manager stated that the ¿engine has seized up¿ and the cost would be $17,000 to take out the engine and replace the engine. The vehicle was less than two months out of an extended warranty. We are contacting BMW as the vehicle was traded because of the prohibited cost of repairs. The symptoms displayed match the part 573 safety recall report 16v-746.

Oon Friday, may 2, 2014 I was doing about 75mph on the expressway in atlanta heading home form a movie at around 1120pm and immediately without any warning or a engine light within my 2011, BMW X5 began to go into safe mode decreasing my speed from 75 to 0 in less than 60 seconds ¿ eventually stalling and unable to restart. The car took over and went into neutral by itself and I was unable to accelerate or control the speed on my own. Atlanta¿s 285 expressways has multiple lanes and though traffic was not as heavy as it generally is during rush hours, I had to frantically navigate myself over six lanes to the shoulder road (avoiding the main lane by the exterior wall out of fear of someone hitting me from behind). I began to cry uncontrollably and immediately hit the sos option within the car and explain what just occurred to the representative on the phone. The lady was extremely pleasant and did her best to put me at ease and assured me assistance was on the way. I then called my husband and had him meet me there as well. Within an hour a towing company had come and asked me if I wanted them to take it to the nearest BMW dealership and I stated sure ¿ that dealership was nalley BMW.
