The check engine light comes on and i feels a decrease in the engine power. i could still drive, but not accelerate as fast. error code reads p2457. took to dealer who recommend to replace the egr cooler, not covered by warranty. i also have been experiencing foul odor in the passenger compartment when i turn on the fan or heat for a while prior to the check engine light. i think the odor and the egr cooler malfunction may be related. i have read about egr cooler fire hazard in uk in later models of bmw x5 35d diesel. but my car is before those affected models. i think bmw na should extend warranty of the egr cooler to my model (2010, e70) because it is a necessary part of the emission control system and engine air intake system. i have contact bmw na directly by phone, and they have not been helpful at all.
Car at 44k miles reported stalling while driving. dealer diagnosed eccentric shaft sensor failure. i have contacted bmw of north america and my car is presently in the dealerhip for a second recall over 3 months. this is not a maintence issue. i feel it is a product failure. i have requested relief from this massive expensive and have asked to be allowed to purchased an extended service warranty at a discounted price. no response as of yet.
Emission always had problem. i have two bmw x5 35d had same problems. active tank and reductant t ank level sensor and temperature sensor broken and need to replace whole tank cost a lot of money.
While the air conditioner is on hot air blows out through the dash and floor vents. happens while stationary, in motion, highway and city driving. suspect it is the pcv valve.
While air conditioning is running on any speed, hot air is blowing from floor and dashboard.
I'm reporting a quality escaped issue on most of bmw cars equipped with rear view camera system. i'm mild to hot days, the camera starts to flicker rapidly and shortly it blanks off intermittently. it's more noticeable on hot days but normal during cold days. this issue is also on most of bmw cars and yet to be recognized nor recalled by the manufacturer. it's unfair for a consumer to pay so much money and can't can't be reimbursed for the fix this discrepancy. i believe the cost of this problem should be covered by a bmw dealer. i fell like i've been robbed out of my wallet paying so much for all these issues popping up from time to time on scar that was not even 75k miles. this is a serious defect that could lead to crash during reverse driving or during parallel parking
