I was driving my car on the freeway at around 70 mph when suddenly the sunroof "exploded" with a loud noise and the glass came down. the sunroof was closed at that time. there was no obvious cause or impact and i was not aware of any prior damage to the glass.
I parked my x5 on an incline, put the car in park, set the parking break and turned the vehicle off. locked it and went inside. there were workers outside for about 10 minutes before coming in to the house that witnessed it sitting there for that amount of time. after being inside for about 5 more minutes or better, i went to leave and found that my car had rolled and hit a tree. the parking break worked seeing that there was snow built up on the back tires, however, you can see from the pictures that both front tires rolled. bmw looked into it and said the car diagnostically checked out fine and that it is normal for both front tires to roll while in park???
Bmw has in my opinion delivered cars with a safety risk due to distracted driving risk due to their poor software. the method for connecting to and operating an iphone (and perhaps other phones) via the radio and speakers is clumsy and distracting. for example, the software demands six or seven interactions with the phone screen and car control rotary selector and car screen to achieve tuning an am station. (there is no am band in the radio because the brakes on this hybrid would affect the am signal.) in my opinion, bmw has no excuse for this distracting and annoying software and it shows a careless disregard for ensuring the safest driving experience for its customers and clack of concern for other road users. the dangers of distracted driving are well known. i drove a rental ford on the weekend - it worked intuitively and flawlessly via apple play and did not create any distractions. in my opinion bmw should be made to retro-fit that software to their affected products.
While driving, all of sudden, dashboard becomes blank. i brought this point to bmw bellevue dealer. it was confirmed that there was no issue identified. however, it occurred a couple of times in a year. since i was driving 35-speed limit road, i pulled the vehicle and stopped the enginer and then restart. the issue disappread. i'm not sure what would be the consequences of it when i'm driving at highways or at high speed.
Upon first service, based upon whirring noise in front of car, service advisor advised that the front tires were badly cupped on the inside and outside edges and needed to be replaced. a second service advisor advised that the bmw x5 with the sports package naturally cupped the front tires and most people choose to replace the tires before 18000 miles due to noise. this is an 80,000+ dollar car. does that seem normal, or acceptable. bmw's only response after several contacts was to have a lady from public relations call me and tell me bmw wasn't going to pay anything. i never asked them to pay anything. if the car is defective, it should be recalled. knowing they have produced a car that with the sports package excessively wears tires, expensive tires, means they should not put the sports packages on the x5, 50i. since bmw refuses to even recognize the problems, where should i turn? one dealership has offered to sell be two front tires for $700, but should i have to buy them. we're talking new tires every 15-18000 miles.
The attorn. gen of fl suggested i reach out to you to express a concern i have for our x5 edrive. we bought this vehicle at reeves bmw in tampa. since we have had the vehicle, it has been a major issue and now that we have a newborn, it has become a safety concern of ours that the car automatically shuts off when the driver's door opens. not only can we not pre-condition the car when we are trying to put him in the car seat, but anytime we get out to grab something, it leaves him with no a/c and in winter the heat will shut down. i also cannot sit in the car with my child and wait for my husband to come outside or if we are away from home and he has to run in somewhere, the car shuts off and we are left in the heat. we live in florida and it is dangerously hot when a car is not air-conditioned. i literally have to crawl from the driver's seat and exit another door, if i want to keep the air on, or i have to crawl into the driver's seat, if i am a passenger. we can't even turn on the car to cool it off before we leave the house or another destination, because the car shuts off if you are not in the driver's seat. the most dangerous thing, is that if you get out of the driver's side, the car remains on in all other aspects (radio, lights, etc.) and appears to be running. this may confuse someone to think the car is safe and the ac or heat is running. i believe this may cause a major accident with this or even a death, if all customers are not educated. there is a pre-condition feature the car has, but it only works if it is charged enough. anytime we are not at home or with enough battery (which is often), we do not have this option and it is very inconvenient and dangerous. ...
