Tl* the contact owns a 2013 bmw x5. the contact stated that while driving 75 mph, the contact heard a loud bang and noticed that the driveshaft detached from the vehicle. the contact was able to merge to the shoulder of the road. the vehicle was later towed to a dealer (unknown dealer information). it was unknown if the vehicle was repaired or diagnosed. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v138000 (power train). the contact mentioned that the vehicle was not currently in the usa. the manufacturer had been contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was 92,000.
When we accelerate, the vehicle shudders/hesitates to the point where it feels incredibly unsafe to drive. when we took the x5 to the mechanic, the mechanic said that it was odd that there would be a transfer case problem at such low mileage on the x5, which was at 67000 miles at the time. when i researched online if this was a common problem for our make/model, i learned that there were many other owners who experienced the same kind of problem -- many, in fact, demanded that bmw or the nhtsa recall the vehicle for this problem (http://www.carproblemzoo.com/bmw/x5/transfer-case-problems.php). i, along with other owners for this make/model, believe that this transfer case problem is significant enough to warrant a recall as the vehicle feels very unsafe to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 bmw x5. while driving low speeds, the contact heard a loud abnormal noise under the hood. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact pulled over and had the vehicle towed to bluegrass bmw (3235 park ave, paducah, ky 42001, (270) 444-0660) where it was diagnosed that a hole needed to be repaired in the engine and the driveshaft. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 56,000.
Engine overheat due to water pump failure, car automatically slow down on highway. the car only has 44k mile. also oil filer housing leaking.
Universal joint and drive shaft broke. per technician at bmw dealership exactly the same as following recall although my vin is not covered under the recall: recall number 17v138000 recall date 03/02/2017 component power train:driveline:driveshaft driving on a city street when load bang, followed by increasing load noise. pulled right over. driveshaft slammed into oil pan causing loss of all oil and hydraulic steering fluid
Vehicle was in motion on county road when overheat warning came on advising to slow down. within 10 seconds vehicle overheated warning came on and car shut down forcing vehicle off the road. no apparent other warning, no symptons such as steam from blown hose or hole in radiator. vehicle 4 years old w/69k miles; water pump & thermostat went bad. $1500 repair. apparently bmw knowingly manufactured x5 with inferior water pump w/50k warranty. this is only coming to light to customers now since x5's are overheating after warranty. very dangerous and scary with vehicle just shutting down enroute in the middle of road. for a luxury vehicle manufacturer this is a major fail and should be corrected.

I don't know why bmw would take so long to fix a recall on my car. it's been 6 months and they don't have the parts. it doesn't make any sense, the drive shaft is a safety issue. i took my car to bmw and they can not fix the recall yet because i have to wait for the final notice.

Takata recall & front driveshaft recall recalls were issued, but repair work never done. it became a pattern that manufacturer just published recalls to meet the government requirement but not really offer actual work to resolve the safety issues.
