3 Water Pump problem of the 2010 BMW X6

Failure Date: 11/01/2017

I started my stationary vehicle in my driveway and I saw white smoke coming from under the hood. After further inspection, I saw a small fire on the connector to the auxiliary water pump. Using water I put out the fire. I took out the pump and harness and took pictures. I contacted BMW north America, who requested me to take the vehicle to BMW dealership, who confirmed that it was the water pump that failed. There already is an active recall for a water pump for my vehicle, but as my vehicle has two water pumps, according to BMW, it is not for this water pump. However the failure happened just as described in the other water pump recall. BMW north America is refused to repair the vehicle under the recall.

6 Water Pump problem of the 2013 BMW X6

Failure Date: 12/08/2015

Water pump issues, dealer supposenly fixed months ago. Car is like new with 40k + miles and already water pump replaced. Then noticed smoke & burning smell like possible fire from engine area a week ago while car in idle, I then took it to dealer next day and something wasnt replaced by dealer during water pump exchange/replacement. I think is a lie, I certainly think vehichle have that steering issue. Also passenger door from inside didnt open anymore which is a serious safety issue. But car like I said is like new to me for it to be 3 years old with 40k miles. Just major faults for such age of car. Bad BMW maker for pricey car and so many engine / electrical issue issues. I see why not many on us roads. 12/2015 something in water pump area replaced agian, driver passenger door from inside didnt open anymore, front cameras didnt operate anymore/corroded supposenly, coolant was gone (but water pump replaced 2014) so either leak or dealer was cheap putting back in, now since all these repairs car drives rough. And yes all was done on 1 visit at dealer. And I forgot to mention to them my seatbelt locks on me so I drive with it clamp already and just duck underneath strap when ready to drive. Windows go up and down on its own (state police witness to that).
