Wheel Problems of BMW X5

My relatively brand new BMW X5 with only 7,500 miles was parked in an enclosed parking garage with valet service. The car only had its warranty service about 7 weeks ago and was in fine condition. There were no issues with the suspension or steering. There was no accident and the car has never gone over a hard bump or pothole. The lower right front control arm snapped cleanly as if from metal fatigue as a valet attempted to retrieve my car. The car was rendered inoperable, and thankfully this accident did not occur on the road. The car was towed to the dealership where they informed me the damage would require $16k - $18k of repairs to the axle, steering column and a host of related systems.

Vehicle shudders and hesitates when making a hard left of right turn from a full stop. (ie. Turning right on red or pulling out of a place of business onto an active highway. ) I read about 30 other complaints about the same issue - all pointing a faulty "transfer case". My vehicle 2011 bwm X5 35i has 76,000 miles. I do see a power train recall for the 2011 X5's but mine (for some unknown reason is not included and it is a 2011 (recall 17v138000) my mechanic said it was the transfer case and will cost $3,000 to repair.

Drive shaft malfunction. Was driving this morning and made a normal left turn and I heard something pop and as I continued to drive something front passenger wheel well was banging. I got the car towed to my mechanic and they discovered there was an actual recall on this same part. I never received any mail notification about this part and I am constantly receiving mail about an airbag recall that BMW has said they have already repaired. BMW did some repairs on my vehicle (and held it for week) less than a year ago and never mentioned repairing the recalled parts. This is horrible! the BMW dealership was BMW of annapolis, in maryland. If photos are needed my repair shop can provide them.

Sir, BMW installs runflats on all their cars. On this X5 I've replaced these tires 3 or 4 times at my own expense as runflats either get puncture or leak and one can't replace @3/32 oly one. These tires are defective and have not served this SUV well. In fact, my wife's bm@ 535xi I did the same and threw out oem tires with new michelin and spare. Bridgestone has a warrranty if within 3yrs they will replace @ very large prorated discount. I've spent $270 each time plus headaches of breaking down in phila or in nyc on way to pick up wife from jfk @ midnite. File size is over 5gb so how do I load it???.

I bought 4 run-flat bridgestone tires from a BMW dealership: dueler h/l 400 [36110427162] on June 21, 2017 with my SUV mileage of 169,318. Yesterday, 1/15/2018, I found out my two rear tires were almost bald after driven 10,384 miles due to summer road trip. Several times these past few days I felt the SUV was slipping and sliding even thought no ice around. The two rear tires have markings of dot h491 dje0716 and dot h491 dje0216]. The front two tires [dot h491 dje4015 and dot h491 dje3160] look new compared to rear - please see images.

The vehicle started smoking from under the hood while driving in town to the post office. Upon parking the vehicle at the post office, it caught fire under the hood and the fire dept. Had to be called to force open the hood to put out the fire. The entire front of the vehicle was damaged in front of the fire wall. The usps moved employees/customers to the rear of the building for precaution of explosion and smoke inhalation of the burning plastic, rubber and related parts. It was fortunate I could quickly park rather than being on the highway.

Our 2011 BMW X5d (diesel) started having steering issues in Jun of 2012. Multiple repair attempts have been unsuccessful. Later it was involved in a low speed crash, injuring the driver in Dec 2012 due to a sudden loss of power steering. This was just months before issuing a recall for the identical problem although BMW identified problems before the initial problem was noticed. The vehicle still to this day has a problem with the sudden loss of power steering, difficult low speed maneuvers and unusual tire wear. We do have a recording of a BMW of north America master technician admitting to the problem that BMW refuses to correct. In fact BMW refuses to even perform work on our vehicle even though it's advertised as "no maintenance for 4years/50,000 miles" this is at any dealership we have gone to due to a note in the database from BMW of north America. Also vehicle service history has been fraudulently erased from their database and BMW refuses to further investigate the safety of this vehicle which was purchased new in 2010 and is still under full factory warranty. They insist the vehicle is safe to drive officially, while unofficially admitting that it is dangerous.

Original equipment alloy wheel developed a full thickness crack on the support spoke. This was under routine driving conditions and not found after an accident. Found on routine owner inspection. Car has 49,000 miles. Suspect this was a manufacturing defect given normal local and highway driving conditions. The alloy wheel was replaced with BMW replacement at my expense. Not covered under warranty. Photos and original wheel available.

The contact owns a 2005 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 55 mph, the two front wheels locked. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for a diagnostic test and possible repairs.
