Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2015 BMW X5

On 11/26/2025, I was driving on the NJ parkway, southbound, in the left lane. The drivetrain malfunctioned warning light came on and within second my car began loosing power. I did not notice any smells. My car stalled as I stopped along the left side of the roadway. I did not have time to maneuver safely to the right, onto the shoulder of the roadway. I maneuvered my vehicle to the left side of the road. My car was pinned against the guardrail to avoid being struck by southbound vehicles. The warning light disappeared. I attempted to restart my car, it sputtered a few time with black smoke coming out of the exhaust. I called 911 and state police responded to protect my vehicle from being struck. About an hour later, a tow truck responded and my vehicle was towed to the BMW dealership, 500 route 37, eaton town, NJ. I believe this catastrophic failure is connected to my vehicles egr’s system. I had my vehicle serviced at sterling BMW, sterling, va, in early 2025. During that visit I was told that my vehicle’s auxiliary egr cooler needed to be replaced. In October 2025, I took my vehicle to BMW of westbrook, maine, after I received a notice from BMW that they had extended the warranty on my auxiliary egr cooler and it could be replaced if needed. I provided the dealership with the information that sterling BMW provided me about the need to have my auxiliary egr cooler replaced. Westbrook BMW examined my car and said there was nothing wrong the my auxiliary egr cooler. My vehicle will be looked at tomorrow by eaton town BMW. I suspect, I will be told the failure will be related to the egr system.

I have a recall notice for an egr cooler in my 2015 BMW X5 diesel. At first there was no part available, for at least a year. Now a part has been available since September 2022. I sold the vehicle to my son in roanoke, va in September 2022. His dealer claims he can't get the part. This is a safety issue. My original dealer in California had the part, but is telling my son he no longer has a part and in order to get a part from the warehouse, my son's roanoke dealer has to be part of the penske auto system. The roanoke, va dealer was sold around September 2022 and has been totally inept, can't get the part, made some other repair which was incorrect and now my son is driving a safety defective vehicle. This may not be the proper place to make a report, however the recall notice says to make a report, gives a website and says I can get information at the website, but not true. Additionally, the printed phone number does not work.

There was a recall on my 2013 BMW in January 2022. In the recall letter it was mentioned that the they would notify me when the recall repairs were available. I called my local BMW service center in July 2022 to ask if the part was available. It was stated that the part was not available. The representative stated what was in the recall letter, which was. "this time. We will notify you with a follow-up letter as soon as we are able to perform this safety recall. What could happen? the engine’s exhaust gas recirculation (egr) cooler could develop an internal leak. Cooling fluid could mix with typical diesel engine soot deposits. With high temperatures normally present in the egr module, this might result in smoldering particles. In some cases, these particles could contact the engine intake manifold and create small holes due to melting. If this occurs, it would increase the risk of a fire. Your vehicle may be experiencing this issue if one or more of the following occurs; a reduction in engine power, a warning symbol indicating a loss of engine coolant, an unpleasant odor (e. G. , exhaust) and/or an unusual noise from the engine. If this occurs, carefully move away from traffic and pull over to a safe location as soon as possible. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive the vehicle. Sample if you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information. " my daughter was driving the car an almost home when she started to smell burning and minutes later saw smoke and flames. She got out of the call and called 911. The care was a total loss, due to this recall and BMW is taking no responsibility for the loss. She is still recovering from the incident and I would like to take action against BMW. I have the police and fire department report from the town of milton.
