general problems of the 2015 BMW X5

Oil leaking from the valves cover onto the manifold and could cause a fire. I have replaced the valve cover on 11/03/2022 miles 107698 I pay 1493. 21 for the repair. Last week 12/23/2025 the same thing started again. The oil is leaking again on manifold the car is smoking I am afraid to drive the car. I believe I should not be paying again for the same problem.

My 2015 X5 decided it was not going to start. The vehicle was was looked at by a technician only to determine thay the cam sensor was not active and the car would not start. Moving forward with diagnostics the sensor was ruled out as good. Moving forward the valve cover was taken off for inspection only to find that the cam side bolt was hanging only by the wall of the valve cover. The gear is still in place it has nkt jumping timing but the end of the cam bolt is and has been broken off at the end inside the man approximately a half inch of the end of the bolt is in the hole. I stopped the technician from moving forward with anything else. I recently looked up for a recall but do not see any for the X5 but open recalls on other models. Please let me know if this is a problem with the six cylinder turbo and it under sized cam bolt thank you for your help and time.

The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle began to lose automotive power and reduced speeds and smoke was present coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was driven to the home and while parked in the garage the temperature gauge indicated that the engine temperature was extremely hot. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the coolant pump and coolant pump connector was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 151,000.

Vehicle stalled in the middle of the road when in drive mode displaying "drivetrain malfunction". Couldn't start the engine or shift the gear. Vehicle was at the dealership one week before the incident for 'drivetrain malfunction'. Fixed bad fuel injector and was tested. My safety and safety of others was at risk if it had happened at higher speed. Suspecting fuel pump failure. Vehicle is with the dealer and the component should be available for inspection.

When I research by your making model, it shows that there are multiple safety recalls for my vehicle. However, when I put in my license plate urban number, it says that there is zero, because I believe that that is some sort of redacted information that’s not true because my vehicle continues to have concerning safety issues and engine issues and the manufacture is refusing to repair. Also, there are suspension issues and under body, rest, and emissions issues that my state ohio does not test I purchase this vehicle from carvana and I believe they shipped the vehicle to a state that does not require a mission passing, because that would have been a flag for my vehicle, and it was very difficult for me to register my vehicle and my state due to a clouded title but it’s very hard for me to get information from dealerships because they don’t want to perform the work at cost as a service customer service, and then the seller, of course is hiding this information I need oversight, or some sort of enforcement how I can take my vehicle somewhere and have it inspected for safety, and then enforce the recalls and enforce the warranties that are on them because as I mentioned, I am not I’m getting out bro blocked and I don’t wanna take accountability and responsibility. I did have a stop at a muffler shop and they said that my underbody is is the scripture is not installed properly, and there are things that are detach to avoid the emissions smoke and those are hidden from the seller I am a nervous buyer. This is my first time having a vehicle such as this and I believe I have a lemonade and sweet lemon. How can I get it? inspected it inspected.

BMW replaced my egr in 8/22 under the recall and now 23 months later my intake manifold melted. Luckily I stopped the car when I smelled melting plastic and a fire didn’t start. Scary stuff. I guess the ege recall didn’t fix the problem.

There is a service bulletin out for this vehicle to extend the warranty to 10 years, 120k miles on parts of the emission control system. The engine trouble light is lit. The vehicle was sold in canada, but has been resold and transferred to the us. BMW has all the warranty / owner records updated, except that the service bulletin for the diesel particulate sensor does not show up on the us BMW system! I called a canadian dealer and had them check. The service bulletin pops right up! called BMW and they said if I want BMW to fix it, I have to take my car -back to a canadian BMW dealer-!!! that is ridiculous!! identical models of these vehicles are sold on each side of the border!! why doesn't the service bulletin apply no matter which country they are sold in?.

My wife was driving with my kids on the highway here in san diego. When the vehicle stalled and luckily she was near the shoulder and was able to pull over. We took it to the shop and they stated it was a fuel pump failure. I have never had a car do this it was crazy dangerous for my kids and my wife. I have read so many complaints on this and yet BMW will take no fault for this. Then they want to give me a repair bill of 17k because when these fuel pumps fail they destroy the whole fuel system that touches diesel needs to repaired. I am so upset this is crazy that’s this legal to produce a car like this and there is not a class action lawsuit.

The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled with the drivetrain warning light was displayed. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and it was discovered that the chain connected to the high-pressure fuel pump fractured and bent the valves. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure due to the malfunction. The mechanic notified the manufacturer of the failure and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

Engine and engine cooling: exhaust system: emission control: gas recirculation valve (egr valve)melting intake manifold.

Some engine rumbling at normal operation, and noticed a yellow check-engine light, not filled (meaning not a catastrophic issue). Attached my obdii reader and found error: 24bf00 injector, cylinder 2, zero-quantity adaptation - permitted filtered actuation duration correction too high. A google search confirmed this fault is covered in https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2020/mc-10184567-9999. Pdf with BMW, but my model year and vehicle is not included. I have an f15, 2015 X5, build date 12/2014. This year is covered on other vehicles with the same n57 engine, and so I would suspect that the same issue plaguing the same engine on other models should be applicable here. I would like consideration for additional model years to be added to the sib.

I received a warning light and checked with my obdii reader that the diesel exhaust fluid transfer pump had a implausible reading and was not working. This is a key part of the selective catalytic reduction (scr) system, part of the emissions control system, and will make the vehicle fault to the point where it will lock the car from being driven (no start condition).

The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 21v907000 (fuel system, diesel) however, after the recall repair was performed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the auxiliary exhaust cooler flap was broken and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 151,000.

The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 mph, she began to notice smoke coming from passenger side on the hood. The vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 18v755000( engine and engine cooling) but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that instrument cluster failed to provide safety messages. The contact stated the instrument cluster only notified her of issues when she attempted to open the engine hood door. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 49,000.

Rod bearing failure causing engine to be damaged. The car has 79k miles, fully maintained at a BMW dealership. My wife and toddler were driving on the highway when the car shut off with no warning. We towed the car to the same BMW dealer where we’ve had the car serviced since 34,673 miles. . The dealer documented metal flakes in the oil filter. The dealer confirmed a rod bearing spun causing a catastrophic failure to the engine requiring replacement. Initial quote exceeding price of car at $74k. BMW corporate contacted me and offered a discount on a new engjne. I declined the offer because the repair work was $32,843. This rod bearing issue is a known problem among 2015-2018 BMW X5m owners. This problem in fact existed on a previous generation engine which is referred to as the s65 motor. BMW has released a bulletin to this group of owners guaranteeing replacement based on the amount of miles on a customers engine. In some cases, a free engine was provided by BMW at no cost to the customer. The car only had 79k miles and without BMW na involved the dealer wanted $74,332 to replace and repair vehicle. The BMW supervisor on this case is lindsay and she can be reached at (800) 831-1117 ext. 115. She disregarded this was a safety matter and thought other owners shouldn’t be compensated or warned about this complete loss of power while driving this particular model (2015-2018 BMW X5m). This is an unacceptable outcome for a car with a msrp is over $100,000. I’ve talked to half a dozen other 2015-2018 BMW X5m owners who also had total engine failure due to this same rod bearing issue. All of the cases the engine exceeded the cost or current market value of car.

I purchased the vehicle in Feb 2022. I received a call from my dealer about the recall last week, they said they would perform the repair on 01/26/23. I picked the vehicle up the next day without them having performed the repair because the VIN still shows "remedy not available". The dealer did not even assess the safety issue when the car was brought in. I do not know if the car is safe to drive. Neither the dealer nor BMW have set expectations for when the recall is to be performed. What do I do next?.

I have a BMW X5 and I received a recall notice, recall campaign 21v-907 (possibility of fire due to exhaust gas recirculation cooler issue) 13 months ago. December 2021. BMW is telling me that they do not have the parts to fix this--13 months. This is ridiculous. This is a fire hazard. What can be done? also your hotline does not work when dialed--- the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline 1-888-327-4236.

Coolant continues to leak because of this still unfixed issue. It still makes noises that it shouldn't. Its been eight months since this recall was issued and still not fixed. It's unacceptable. There is a risk of fire and BMW is dragging it's feet!.

Sometimes when I drive the vehicle I smell smoke and there is a strong burning plastic smell. Occasionally, I see see smoke from the engine compartment. When I raise the hood it appears the smoke is coming from the back of the engine unit on the passenger side of the SUV. The problem is intermittent. Since covid I barely drive so I have fairly low trip mileage.

Started my car like normal and ran for 30 seconds after leaving walmart after I picked up a few things then the car shut off out of no where. . Attempted to start again and the car tried to turn over then even stopped doing that after a few attempts. . I had the car towed to my home. . My husband then inspected the vehicle and the high pressure fuel pump has failed causing my engine to lock up. . I have maintained this vehicle like I should because I loved my car and my husband is a mechanic. . This vehicle only with 127000. . This should of not happened I have read BMW is going to recall this but when my VIN is ran nothing shows up. . I owe on this vehicle still and it really has put me in a bind financially with having to miss work and having to find other transportation. . This is ridiculous. I got no warning lights or any noise warnings.

Error related to emission system appeared at 72k miles: active tank scr fluid level sensor: echo recognized as faulty. Check engine light went off. Confirmed by independent service.

While driving on city street the engine stopped, would not restart, then caught fire.

I randomly began smelling fumes in vehicle when stopped at traffic lights. Questioned my da at classic BMW of plano. He said not air or fuel filter, all is okay. A couple months later the car engine stopped at red light in the city of rowlett. I was able to get it started & into a lot, would not crank, had it towed, diagnosed as fuel injectors. My husband advised there was a recall, I questioned BMW USA, said only 2011-2014. I requested escalation to confirm no issues with 2015, was told nothing they could due unless reported by �master� technician. I went forward with $1529 repair of 1 injector although research indicated all 6 should be replaced if 1 is bad. Sa insisted not necessary. Began smelling fumes again Jan 2020, expected another fi bad, diagnosed as catalytic converter, research indicates possibly caused by bad fuel injectors. Want to document because expecting others to have same issues at 85k+. My mfg warranty ended Dec 2020, car is regularly maintained by dealership yet they say no way to prevent. I believe issues are related to the start/stop.

My husband was driving 20-25 mph and heard a loud "boom" - then his engine compartment began smoking. We had the vehicle towed to the BMW dealership. A rod was thrown through the engine compartment and the engine needed to be replaced. We are the original owners of the vehicle and service it regularly. There were no leaks, noises, lights, nor any other indications of trouble prior to the engine blowing up.

The recall was announced on October 25th and a remedy is still not available. I have not received a letter in the mail and the dealer says that there is no recall.

As the vehicle was approaching a stop sign, the car accelerated on its own and I was unable to stop using the brakes. The car went off the road and hit a tree causing severe damage to the car. The malfunction was reported to BMW and we have insisted (on several occasions) a report upon their inspection of the car - have not received anything to date. Instead they offered a nominal sum to release them from any liability associated with the incident. The car was still under factory warranty at the time of the malfunction.

The contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact initially received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 18v755000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The contact then stated that the def (diesel exhaust fluid) warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the engine control module was defective. The contact linked the defective engine to the recall. Once the parts for the recall remedy became available, it was determined that the repair was defective and a second recall was issued under NHTSA campaign number: 21v907000 (fuel system, diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The manufacturer had been notified of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 BMW X5. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed and three seconds after the brake pedal was released.

I parked my 2015 BMW X5 at work at 8. 30 am. When I got into the car at 5. 00 pm all the lights were red and yellow on the dashboard. I tried to see if the vehicle can be driven and I almost got into an accident jeopardizing my life. Luckily, nobody else was driving in the parking lot at the same time as I did not have power in the steering wheel and I was not able to turn off the engine. Next day, my car was towed to the dealership where they told me that I have rodent issues and the rodents chewed the wiring inside the harness. I called BMW to tell them that they are jeopardizing my life and other people's life but they did not care about my comments and they do not want to admit that this is poor design on their side. I also told them that even if I get the wiring replaced , I can experience the same issue again and again. I told BMW that they should do a recall to fix this issue but they did not care at all. The only thing that they are telling me is that this is an "external issue" and the customer have to pay for it. Please help me and the other BMW drivers to have a safe ride as I don't trust the BMW company anymore.
