general problems of the 2012 BMW X5 - part 1

I received a message of restraint system malfunction and when I called the local dealer I was told the part is not availabel anywhere in the USA. What am I supposed to do with this. I was told the air bags and seatbelts may malfunction. The vehicle only has 85k miles. Its a 2012. At this point who will take the car as a trade? it's not safe and they don't have an answer except to say I'm [xxx] and I guess you need to get a new vehicle!! can you believe this? I have to get a whole new vehicle because they don't have a part! you can't make this stuff up. I spoke with BMW USA and was told they only honor 4yr and 50k miles and after 10years they are not responsible for parts to be made. The I was told to get it further diagnosed to the tune of 250. 00 so they can "maybe" have the parts manufactured. What the heck! this company is saying our cars are garbage after 10yrs! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

We hit a deer while driving at 55 mph. We were wearing seatbelts and not injured, it was a major frontal impact, the car is probably totalled. When we stopped we noticed multiple warning messages on the display: * restraint system failure * passenger airbag failure * pre-tensioner failure it appears that the car detected the collision and tried to activate the restraint systems, but nothing activated. No air bags deployed, and we did not feel the pre-tensioners activate.

Vehical randomly shuts off, it all safety systems warning lamps come on l, like abs, airbag, and traction control. Found wiring harness laying in a pool of water in the rear right cargo compartment. Rain water leaking from sunroof collected in compartment. The harness contains wires for the the vehicles can buss systems the water causes corrosion in the harness, which causes all sorts of problems that could happen at any time like the vehicle shutting off or the airbag or abs warning light coming on.

Takata recall NHTSA recall 16v071 has status that remedy parts are available. Despite of this, my local BMW dealer (peter pan BMW in san mateo, California) says parts are not available and that it still will take several months due to parts being shipped from europe. I don't find it acceptable that BMW is delaying such repairs and would expect BMW to use expedited shipping solutions to complete this critical fix.

My wife & I purchased this 2012x5 2 years ago,last year the vehicle was being driven off the driveway where there was a loud snap&ban. The car didn't move. We called a tow and had it brought to jupiter BMW FL . We found out that the drive shaft snapped. Mileage was 45-48k miles. We called BMW na it was a warranty recall part and the dealer stated it was replaced. After that in the last 10 months we have experienced many strange movements in the rear and in turns. We called the dealership and spoke to a tech where they stated it was tires in the rear. We recently replaced the tires & it remained to be there where it was mild but there. During this time period we had many serious obstacles with cancer & family in pr devastated. We received a recall notice airbag, we called the dealer to replace it. While there we failed to mention it being in a rush & still only one of the two airbags still unavailable. After we left during the month we felt it more so, at that time I try to reach the service advisor & failed to reach her in several attempts. After driving this week it got seriously worse while my family little children in car, we pulled over called our local mechanic and he said bring it if possible or tow. So we did! at that time we never discussed we replaced any recall drive shaft (make note). The mechanic called us in shop said the shaft is broke and leaking grease has a lot of play in it, also do to that is directly related & cause to be a issue with transfer case!!!. We took a video of it and the mechanic & us called BMW na discussed it & they recommend to take to BMW under extended warranty. Upon arrival we provided the service tech a video of the discovery . 6 hours later they claim the shaft is fine & video & inspection was not issue, &transfer case having issues. They said our bill 9000$. There is over 300 claims exact issue #17v138000see attached pic & compl.

After receiving 3 recall notices in the mail regarding air bags early 2017 and most recent August 2017 recall regarding front driveshaft's universal joints, I have attempted to contact my BMW dealer in hollywood about the defected parts being replaced.
