1 Rear Suspension Springs problem of the 2012 BMW X5

Failure Date: 07/01/2017

Was driving at 60mph on the taconic state parkway with my family on flat pavement when I heard a loud pop from the rear of my sav like tire blew out. Pulled over thinking a tire popped. Saw nothing so I kept driving, I immediately noticed something wasn't right with the suspension in the rear of the truck. Had the truck towed to a shop, both of the rear springs broke in different locations. The passenger rear spring sheered off at the bottom of the spring. The driver side sheered off at the top. I have not taken any pictures yet because it is in the shop but I can get them later this week.

Sudden failure of water pump at 72k miles without warning while driving at 35 mph. Vehicle lost power steering, became impossible to drive. Pulled over. BMW said well known issue but BMW not willing to provide any assistance. Very dangerous defect. Takata air bag recall - listed on Bmws website as available but BMW service center said still not available. Want to sell the car but cannot because buyers are aware of the recall and do not wish to purchase the vehicle. BMW also refuses to purchase the vehicle as a trade in. Will owners be compensated? rear air springs failed at 72k miles. BMW said known issue but not willing to provide any assistance.
