While driving the check engine light came on moments later the steering wheel stiffened up then released mid turn when I turn the steering wheel the tires didn’t respond I hit a curb.

Equipment problem #2

After the car is been driven under a snow storm , when the snow is not clear have to drive to wrk 1 hour away , the next day once all snow is clear the car tends to shake very bad , every time the same when u hit 30mph shakes violently like the car is gonna break apart. But once u take it inside the carwssh and wash it tends to go away? I don't understand it? it's not the snow on the tires cuz I clear all that before , I leave the house the next day.

Equipment problem #3

While in traffic driving around 45 miles per hour at 8a on Dec 7, 2015 on ga400 my 2011 BMW X6 hybrid rear glass sparked with fire and shattered. The sparks were followed by a very loud booming noise. The defrost connector exploded apparently in the rear window causing rear glass to shatter. Pictures attached. You can clearly see where the explosion/spark occurred and where the damage started. Car is at dealer now and they have told me it is not covered. Issue is defrost failure. Car is under full factory warranty. The tint mostly held the glass in place. Problem after problems with this car. Hybrid battery replaced at 18k miles. Engine issues. Battery node issues. 43k miles currently. Purchased in 2013 with 3k miles on it.

Equipment problem #4

Hi my name is kizy kizy I bought a BMW X6 5. 0 2011 I've been having a lot of problems with my SUV! in the last month I've been in the dealership 4 times for coolant issues it's sad because the third time my wife and I were at the movies our eyes started to itch,burning and felt like vomiting. So I brought the car back and they found leaks in the hoses and car was there for about eight days,don the head service manager told me they ran all the test they can and got everything done. On the 3rd of November our eyes started to itch and felt like vomiting again, so I called the dealer this Thursday and told them what's going on,don the head service guy and the head mechanic and the service guy both smelled a sent in my vehicle so for the fourth time my cars in the shop again. I picked my car up this Monday and brought it back to the dealerwith low oil light on and a sent in my car! I love the BMW vehicles but I just don't feel comfortable driving this vehicle anymore I feel like it's not safe or feel comfortable driving it anymore :( my wife is pregnant she's four month in the pregnancy and I'm said that BMW test us as test dummies. I just hope this didn't cause any kind of health issues for us long-term and for the baby,I spoke to betsy from BMW I explained to her that I did not go to the hospital because I do not have health insurance and I did not want to have a hospital bill. Please help I could give you more info you could call me at 586 5576555 I really don't want to put my family back in the vehicle again.
