general problems of the 2012 BMW X5

My battery was weak and the time came to change it. I changed the battery, the car starts beautifully. However I have a light system and restraint system malfunctions. My internal lights do not work, my indicator lights do not work. I have been told that my frm needs to be replaced. After doing some research online I have learned that this is a common problem in the X5 series. The vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it and I only drive it on the weekends. This is the second major malfunction this year. The water pump needed replacement in February. I purchased this certified pos in 2016 from the mamaroneck dealership with 26000 on the vehicle. Oh I forgot to mention less than 6 months after purchasing the case there was an oil leak in the engine. I can't wait to finish paying for this car so I can go back to the more reliable Mercedes Benz that I was accustomed to.

The rear reading lamps in the vehicle have no protective cover over the halogen bulbs and are located right next to the on/off switch making it far to easy for children in a moving vehicle to accidentally touch an extremely hot bulb. Their either needs to be a protective cover or the bulbs need to be replaced with some like an led that generates far less heat.
