My vehicle has a faulty injector, shortly after got another recommendation to fix the exhaust gas nox sensor, this all happened within the recall i received for engine, engine cooling : exhaust system: emission control: gas recirculation valve ( egr valve ) did this trigger new problems for my car? it seems like the whole system is failing for a car that is only 4yrs old.
The vehicle started to collect water without my knowledge in the car. it was only until a unnoticeable noise came from the rear of the car. i inspected it and the rear area was soaked with water. so bmw thinks it is a good idea to store alot of electronic equipment in the rear were the water was. they first claimed that it was possibly clogged drains and that if they were clogged, that nothing would be covered under warranty because it was "an outside force". after the inspection, they tell me that a leak was discovered and that it was fixed. but nothing was covered under warranty because water got into the car. they had the same problem with older models and due to it being a bad design of the car, refused to acknowledge that it was their problem. i read that there was a settlement back in 2010 area and that they were found liable. the car has not changed since then and they are still using the flawed car design in the x5. i was told that to avoid further leaks, that i should not park it anywhere near trees or bushes and preferably inside. a car in the 21st century should not have to be kept inside to prevent leaks from occurring. a lot of people dont have the privilege to keep their car in a garage 24/7. some people have to use their cars on a daily basis.
While driving at highway speeds will doors locked, the front left drivers side door opens by itself. this has happened twice in the last week. this could be life threatening if it happened to the back seat doors and a child was not buckled in and leaning on the door.
Exhaust egr cooler leak which cause exhaust to enter the passenger compartment of the vehicle. nauseating exhaust fumes leading to severe headaches
I recently received a takata auto airbag notice i contacted my local bmw dealer. they confirmed the automobile which i have had serviced there in the past, stated that my automobile was not part of the recall. later that day i went online to check on the www.autoairbagsettlement.com to confirm that my car had not other recalls. the site confirmed that my automobile was on the recall. i am at a loss as to what to do. please advise. my bmw x5 vin: [xxx] thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Purchased as a new car (bmw x5) and 6-months later the underbody splash shield fell off. when i went for oil service the dealer stated that it had to be replaced ($392). the car is used for very light use so i believe this is a manufacturer issue. in this case there was no accident.
My husband was traveling on the highway at night. he stated that the car in from of his was stopped in the middle of the highway. he was unable to stop in time to avoid rear ending the other vehicle. we have a new bmw x5 suv and he hit a lexus suv- both substantial vehicles. both cars were not drivable following the accident. there is major front end damage- possible the car is totaled. i'm not sure yet. the air bags did not deploy. the impact fractured his sternum. he developed pneumonia 2 days later because of the pain in breathing- the accident was wed. night but the fracture was not diagnosed. i took him back to the er fri afternoon, when the fracture and subsequent pneumonia was diagnosed. he was admitted to the hospital and is still there. the car was towed to the dealership. they want to take it apart to see what needs to be repaired or if it is totaled. i want to understand why the airbags did not deploy and am afraid if they start taking the car apart i will never know. i was told the nhtsa would help me with an investigation into this. please help me and let me know what i should do next. husband won't be released for several days possibly.
