Vehicle electric windows stick full open and cannot close. I bought the BMW X5 4. 4i new in 2001, I still own the vehicle, and this has happened 4 times since new (2004, 2005, 2006, 2010). Each time it renders the vehicle unusable since it cannot be secured and left unattended. The window motor regulator was replaced twice under warranty and twice I had to pay. This should not even happen once!.

2002 BMW X5 window regulator. Car has 41k miles and already going on 5th window regulator issue. All four window regulators have been replaced and the issue occurred twice on the driver's side window. I have been told multiple explanations from the dealer including lack or use or too much use but this issue occurs on all BMW makes and models. BMW still has no solution that fixes this issue permanently and charges $300 to $600 for each window depending on front or rear. Too much to pay for a bad design.

BMW window regulator fails for no apparent reason in all car models. Car has less than 36k miles and already fixing the third window. BMW service person explanation is due to the lack of use that causes this problem. Yet, driver's side, which is the one with most use, recently failed. This is a repeated problem in almost all BMW cars with automatic windows and BMW is not doing anything about it. This issue is posted everywhere in the internet and BMW charges anywhere between $300 and $600 per window/fix (mine was quoted at around $550).

Driver side front and rear window regulator failure with sixty days, which caused the windows to become stuck in the down postion. In both occasions, knauz BMW dealership replaced regulator and motor . To date, the manufacturer BMW has failed to provide any assistance, last failure and repair mileage was 78,089 .

Window regulators have been replaced by the dealer 7 times since the purchase of my cpo 2001 X5 on 10/03/2001. All regulators have been replaced twice except for the passenger front only once so far. The first 6 replacements were covered by the 4/50 warranty or the cpo warranty at a $50. 00 deductible. The 7th replacement cost me $471. BMW has engineered a defective part and doesn't seem to care that it continues to malfunction. I have contacted BMW USA and they will provide no compensation and say that I must replace all future failures at my cost. This does not seem appropriate for a company that "supposedly" prides itself on quality and customer service.

- the contact owns a 2001 BMW X5. While driving at 65 mph a passenger touched the automatic window control button and the window fell off track, falling into the door. Updated 02/27/07.

: the contact stated while attempting to roll the windows down, the motor failed to operate. All four windows were affected during the past four months. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, who determined the regulators needed to be replaced. Updated 12/28/2006 - the consumer has changed all 4 regulators in the vehicle.

The window regulator failed. As a result, the rear driver side window fell into the door. The consumer stated that the same thing happened with all the windows. The cause has yet to be determined. The consumer was driving on the highway when the rear drivers side window suddenly fell into the door.

The window regulators for all four windows have had to be replaced over a 2 year period. Was told by BMW dealer that this is a common problem but BMW refuses to issue a recall. Each window would make a clinking noise just prior to the window regulator breaking leaving the window stuck in the down position.

My window regulators have failed twice on my 2000 BMW X5 4. 4i. Researching this problem on the web, it is a common occurence. My colleague with a 2000 BMW 3 series has had his failed 6 times. Both times the problem was fixed, but I had to pay.

External mirrors will intermittantly wonder in any direction at any speed. BMW can not fix them. This is a safety issue. Dt.

The contact owns a 2001 BMW X5. The contact stated that the power window devices were inoperative, which caused the windows to sporadically become stuck in the up or down position. He took the vehicle to the dealer and a technician replaced the regulator and the motor. Several months later, the failure recurred. The dealer will not assume any financial liability because the vehicle has exceeded its warranty. The manufacturer was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 55,000 and current mileage was 125,000. Updated 7/3/08 updated 07/03/08.
