While driving to the store my husband notice the vehicle began to over heat. After only driving less than 2 miles the vehicle was parked at my home, it suddenly burst into flames from the engine an hour later. Gratefully, no one was in the vehicle during the incident. We are a family of 5 so that would have been a disgrace. The vehicle was inspected by BMW who claim they can not find cause and deny responsibility. It is unfortunate, our insurance canceled for non-payment a short time before this. Therefore, we have no resource to make us whole again. The vehicle is being temporarily held at BMW of coconut creek as this is where it was purchased. Meanwhile, my husband continues to make payments to BMW finance to protect his credit. Research has shown over hundreds of thousands of like make and models BMW x 6 have been recalled for the same incident from 2012 - 2018 and I can' t help but believe the 2019 should be placed on recall as well before someone is hurt. I can use any advise and guidance on my situation. As I am seeking legal counsel f or the damages.

Car goes into limp mode on highway. Shakes very bad and I lose power to my car speed going from 65-70mph to 30-40mph forcing the car trying to get to a safe area to see why my car suddenly lost power. After dodging all the close call accidents from me trying to pull over I come to a complete stop and car is shaking out of control so I turn it off and turn it back on but my car still shakes out of control. After sitting on the side of the road with traffic zipping past me for about 30 minutes I turned my car back on and the shaking went away. Days later the car did it again but I was in city streets I pulled over and turned off the car and waited 30 minutes again. The next day I took it to a mechanic shop and told me the high pressure fuel pump has gone out and there is metal shaving in the gas tank and in the lines. To repair my car it would cost me near $3,500!.

Fuel pump stopped working almost died on highway after car stalled and wouldnt let me drive while it turned off . I cant believe a fuel pump is bad at 107 k miles . Ive read multiple forums on same issue w other X6 this needs immediate attention someone could die .
Car is jumping forward when im coming to a stop at lights. Almost hit the car in front of me one time. It also shivers when turning slow or backing up and slowly acceleration. I can feel it in the steering so thought it might be a bad tire but realized upon research it could be drive train or power steering. Noticed smoke coming out of the front grill after arriving home from work a week ago. Lifted the hood and looked around. Saw fluid baked onto a nozzle but couldnt read what fluid compartment it was. . Just researched issues im having online and saw it is the power steering nozzle, which actually had a recall back the year my car was made for power steering fluid leaking onto the engine and causing fires! scary stuff considering I had smoke coming out of engine grill last week. . My car has been at BMW service dept half of the time ive owned it because I notice it not feeling or driving correct for the engine I have and when I had warranty so many issue's were ignored and made worse by the horrible tech's they have. My turbo's have been leaking for a while causing my car to not perform 100%, they never advised me and always said car drove fine. My coolant was leaking badly and after dropping my car with them, they gave it back stating it was fixed. I drove for almost 2 weeks and realized the tech never put coolant back in and the list goes on. .
Low pressure fuel sensor was said to be replace, BMW has record of this known issue. I went to get my vehicle checked out first because the water pump was bad and BMW knows this as well. Then they stated I need to change the low pressure fuel sensor for $900+ dollars. I just replaced the water pump costing $1,199 dollars , BMW is aware of these ongoing issues in these cars and are doing nothing about it!.
I was recently on a highway driving and my car suddenly came to a halt, shaking and vibrating whiles other cars were behind me. I almost lost my life in accident with a trailer truck who quickly maneuvered from behind me. I drove the car to a BMW dealership and I was told that the fuel injectors created that problem. The car has less than 90k miles on it and BMW is refusing to accept the fact that this is safety issue which could have ended my life. I am requesting at this point for bwm to open a campaign for these fuel injectors or the government issue a recall on them. I need all of my BMW X6 fuel injectors replaced by BMW . A service advisor told me , it is best to get all the injectors replaced because this is a common problem with the n63 engine and they have been fighting hard for BMW na to issue a recall on them because it is costing them tons of money in civil suits. Again I need this fuel injectors replaced on my car as quickly as possible because I have no means of transportation to school , work or clinical rotation and this is severely affecting my grades. If no action is taken by BMW , I am very prepared to retain an attorney to file a class suit against them with every dime I have.

My BMW X6 is experiencing electrical issues. The passenger rear view mirror no longer folds in and I can't adjust it to a perfect position. Also my wiper speed will not adjust. When in reverse the camera flickers badly. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. Very inconsistent.
On 10/02/2015, I was driving my kids to school. Suddenly, there's this loud explosion noise coming from the engine compartment. At the time of the incident, the vehicle was in motion on a city street. The road was very smooth, the vehicle did not collide with any potholes or any road objects. I pull over to the side of the road, did a quick inspection, didn't see anything. So I got back onto the car and continue driving. During accelerations and going above 40mph on the freeway, the vehicle started to vibrate and I started to lose control but managed to slow down and pull to the side of the freeway. After doing research and asked several mechanics, it turns out that the front drive shaft of the vehicle is going bad, and this is a very common problem with the BMW X6. I was advised to have the front drive shaft replaced as soon as possible or else if the drive shaft happens to break on the freeway, it could cause a major accident which me and my kids could have been killed. Additionally, at 54k miles, the vehicle's valve stem seals has already gone bad, (they usually don't go bad until 120k miles) the engine oil is leaking towards combustion chamber and burn off through the catalytic converter. The vehicle is emitting an extremely toxic, sulfuric smell from the exhaust, you can smell it from far away while the vehicle is started. I had several neighbors complained about the smell. Not only that this is bad for our health due to the cancer-causing carcinogen it is also bad for the environment. BMW has long acknowledged the problem and issued a "customer care package" which they refused to call it a recall. In fact, they replaced many different components on my vehicle, but the customer care package did not fix the toxic, sulfuric smell from the exhaust. This is extremely unacceptable that that falsely advertise and sold us an unsafe vehicle for nearly $85,000.

Upon on starting the vehicle and dropping into drive or reverse the vehicle accelerates on its on , the the tachometer jumps to 1000 and even up to 1500 without touching the accelerator. I have brought the vehicle three time to different dealerships and they could fix the issue. I have almost collided with multiple vehicles in parking lots and almost ran into our building, I have to step on the break very hard to reduce the car lunging forward, the car still travels with my brake on, if there were a child or person in front of me they would be injured severely, this is very unsafe. I have video of the tachometer going from 0-1000 almost coming to a stall, it has stalled two times in the past.

Engine malfunction. Engine operating at reduced output. Engine has malfunctioned numerous times. Shuts down to reduced output, without warning and without allowance for traffic conditions, only allowing for 4-5 mph travel. Extreme danger! BMW has a "customer care package" that is a recall, although they are not calling it a recall. However, all parts of recall have been replaced on vehicle and now having to drive a vehicle that has not been fixed, that I am afraid to drive in traffic and do not trust to have enough power to merge onto interstate. BMW is simply throwing parts at a serious problem that has the potential to harm thousands of people.
