general problems of the 2012 BMW X5

Water entering into the vehicle, causing vehicle to reduce power in traffic, due to traction control issues. . Not able to drive vehicle when it’s raining. , along with other issues, pls see first report. .

Ever since the rain starter my aux water pump don't work and brake light too. And it seems like something has been draining my battery because battery discharge comes up. And I think the idle idle pulley issue affects almost most of that year BMW X5 because my serpentine belt only installed 10,000 miles ago and already see threads being worn out. Unless that's how long they last. I had to bring the car back in multiple times to get it adjusted because kept making squealing noise. They blamed it on water pump and didn't change the thermostat. Water even leak into front passenger side where all the fuses were. When I connected the battery charger I could hear the pump all of sudden working and the radiator tank sputter water out. I don't want to bring it to dealership and get charged for things that they should fix with charging me but they tell me it's some other issue and have me pay for it. The way they act are worse than gangsters because if you get it fix elsewhere they say it's not covered by them them. And the driveshaft issue, even alot of the cars not in recall are affected and how are they to assume which car need replacing and which dont? I think the v8 engine is just too much power for the other parts to handle and they don't want to admit it. Because how many BMW X5 owners complain about these issue ??.

Drive shaft malfunction. Was driving this morning and made a normal left turn and I heard something pop and as I continued to drive something front passenger wheel well was banging. I got the car towed to my mechanic and they discovered there was an actual recall on this same part. I never received any mail notification about this part and I am constantly receiving mail about an airbag recall that BMW has said they have already repaired. BMW did some repairs on my vehicle (and held it for week) less than a year ago and never mentioned repairing the recalled parts. This is horrible! the BMW dealership was BMW of annapolis, in maryland. If photos are needed my repair shop can provide them.

The contact owns a 2012 BMW X5. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 16v071000 (air bags) and 17v138000 (suspension). The part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. BMW bellevue in bellevue, washington was made aware of the recalls, but did not have parts available for the repair. The dealer stated that the contact would receive a second letter once the parts became available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I was hit by a car turning left in front of me. Left front side and door hit. Wheel knocked at angle under car. Steering wheel airbag burned my right hand when it deployed.
