Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2013 BMW X5

The egr system in my 2013 BMW X5d has failed. There is a recall notice for the egr system on the 2014 BMW X5d with the same engine and exhaust system related to a fire warning. It would seem to make sense to include the my car in the recall under the circumstances.

There is an open recall on BMW X5d and other BMW diesel models due to a fire hazard, the recall warns of an egr code warning on the vehicle. My 2013 BMW X5d 3. 5 has that warning code, however BMW claims that there isn’t a recall on it. My VIN is 5uxzw0c57d0b95714, and for the last 5 or 6 years I was told by the guy who was my rep at the dealership there was a possible recall, but BMW was having issues keeping up with demand for the parts. Now I have this warning, the dealership is denying the warranty. Yet I’m still at risk.

The contact owns a 2013 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with selective catalytic reduction (scr) passive reservoir failure. The scr passive reservoir was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and diagnosed with egr module failure. The contact was informed that the egr module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was 104,370.

The egr cooler has gone bad and I have been driving around with carbon monoxide in my car causing extreme headaches and nausea. I did not know that was the problem and it took 2 visits to the dealer to figure it out. The egr cooler was dirty and blocked before we purchased the vehicle and there have been a couple other indicators that this was an issue. Also the car did not have an engine light on to show there were any issues. I could have passed out if I wasn't driving with the windows open for the last couple months! I took to an other mechanic before taking it to the dealer which told me to take to the dealer because they thought there was a major issue. There may be other issues with the manifold that haven't been exposed yet either. There are other vehicles made during this time that had a recall but not my 2013 X5 d35! there are many others out on sites complaining of the same issues. Seems like this make and year got missed and could have caused major health issues and/or death!.

Engine failed because the crankshaft got so hot it fused the crankshaft and the bearings causing the complete failure and replacement of the engine. BMW has had numerous claims of engine failures in the X5 but they will not do anything to repair the vehicle. The engine only had 84k miles and then without warning, no oil leaks, no hot engine red lights, nothing at all to speak of in the middle of travel, the engine completely shut off and I have to do everything to get to the shoulder of the road. The BMW dealership in bay shore NY had the vehicle for three weeks and really didn't open the engine up to find the cause. After Bmwusa said they would do nothing to resolve their latent defect in the engine obviously metal parts which we came to the conclusion were inferior, I had the engine taken out by a certified trained a mechanic. He stated he has never see a meltdown of parts which welded together from the extreme heat of the engine. No leak were detected for either coolant or oil yet the engine seized simply for the fact, the metal used internally is inferior. For the price you paid for the "ultimate driving machine", Bmwusa needs to step up and be honest above the problems that have plagued their engines and their cooling system. I have spend over $15,000 to get this vehicle repaired and Bmwusa should reimburse me because of it's known history. I have owned Bmws since 1992 and the vehicles lasted passed 175k miles. To have a major engine fail at 84k speaks volumes to the lack of integrity for the engine. BMW is using steel and metal that have significant strength problems as documented by all the complaints I have read above. To have the engine seized like this is the middle of traffic endangered me and my passengers and totally unconscionable.
