I got an engine malfunction warning light on my 2011 bmw x5. i brought it to a mechanic who told me the issue is the high pressure fuel pump. there is a recall for other bmws although mine is not on the list. the mechanic indicated this is an ongoing issue for my bmw and should be covered by a recall.
Upon starting my car at a friend's house, i heard a brief electrical buzzing noise that then stopped. it sounded like the radiator fan, but the fan wasn't moving. i drove my car approximately 15 miles home and parked it. about 2.5 hours later, from inside my home, i heard the sound of what seemed to be a small explosion. i looked outside and my car's engine compartment was engulfed in flames. it had parked, unused with the motor off for more than two hours on a cool day with temperatures in the 40s with no warning indicators lights or messages. i later learned bmw had issued a recall for electrical fires, however, i never receiveda recall notice. press reports note that more than 90 such fires have been reported to your agency, and i can still find no documentation on your website of this problem.
I have received an engine code 4bcc " passive tank fill sensor" for my 2011 bmw x5d. this is in the the emission system def tank. this appears from my research that it is a frequent problem.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2011 bmw x5. the contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a dealer (bmw 6655 coliseum blvd, alexandria, la 71303 (318) 445-6678) to be serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 19v017000 (air bags). after the recall remedy was performed, the vehicle was towed back to the contacts residence however the check engine warning light was illuminated along with a note from the dealer indicating that the engine was at a 50% capacity and that the vehicle needed to be returned at the dealer. the contact called the same dealer when it was informed that the drive shaft needed to be replaced under an extended warranty but after calling on a later time the dealer then informed the contact that they would be responsible for the cost of repairs. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that they would investigate the issue however then declined to cover any repair costs. the failure mileage was 107,000.
The vehicles oil was change at the bmw mechanic. shortly after driving away, the engine started to malfunction. returned vehicle and they stated that the vanos were damage and needed to be replaced. this was a previous issue for the bmw vanos systems and there decision was to extend the warranty another 10 years. i have not received such letter stating this and the bmw facility wants to charge me.
After receiving an oil change, the check engine light came on code 88624 which caused the engine to loose power. after inspection the fault was for exhaust camshaft stuck which is an error due to the timing/vanos system. no visible damages where found to the camshaft solenoids that are accessible. please advise if there are any other issues with consumers for these problems, thank you!
Oil was changed and shortly after the engine lost power. then displayed an engine light. took to bmw and stated the fault was for exhaust camshaft stuck and this error was due to the timing/vanos system. the camshaft solenoids had no visible damage and where cleaned. they stated further research needed to be done which would be over $1000+.
After having the oil changed and driving for several miles, the vehicle lost power. it had a code which was diagnosed as the exhaust camshaft stuck, this was an error due to the timing/vanos system. there was no visual damage to the camshaft solenoids but were cleaned yet still having issues. are other consumers having this type of issue?
After having that oil change the check engine went on the engine power reduced turning the whole car off during driving over 45 miles. bmw found error code which showed exhaust camshaft stuck, this is an error due to timing/vanes. after cleaning the camshaft solenoid and no visible damage present they stated further research would need to be conducted. cost would be over 1000.00. are other consumers having issues with the vanos system?
