  I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS RECALL, I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS AND THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL! MY CURRENT MAIN CONCERN IS THERE IS A BURNING GAS LIKE OIL ODOR IN MY CAR. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SAYING REMEDY IS UNAVAILABLE! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN LIFE IS IN DANGER. BMW SHOULD PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION!! WHEN I START THE CAR I SMELL BURNING SMELL AND SOMETIMES SEE SMOKE COME FROM HOOD OF CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO BMW 2 MONTHS AGO FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD ALL WAS WELL WITH MY CAR. TWO OTHER RECALLS WERE CORRECTED HOWEVER, I STILL HAVE THE SAME GAS ODOR WHICH WAS DUE TO ANOTHER RECALL DEALING WITH THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD DRIVING THIS CAR, AND ITS AN INSULT FOR BMW TO SEND A LETTER STATING THE ISSUE BUT STATE THERE IS NO REMEDY WHEN THE RECALL CONSEQUENCES CAN CAUSE A FIRE! AND YOU TELLING ME THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE REMEDY!! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS, I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER.

  CAR HAD 56000 MILES ON IT, AT 99500 MOTOR WENT, THEN AIR SPRINGS, PARKING BRAKE, TAKATA RECALL,WHEN THE TRANSMISSION, VACUUM PUMP, AND HOW THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. TODAY THE I DRIVE WENT OUT IN TOTAL MYSELF AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY HAVE SPEND OVER 24000. DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT PER BMW IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE, MORE LIKE JUNK!!! AND NO PARTS IN SIGHT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAGS OR THE FUEL PUMP. I THINK A CLASS ACTION SHOULD BE FILED. I'M 58 YEARS OLD NOT 18 I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS. THE CAR VALUE ON KELLY BLUE BOOK IS ONLY 12000. WE NEED HELP TO MAKE BMW STAND BEHIND WHERE QUALITY NOT THEIR HAND IN OUR BACK POCKETS, NO CAR THAT COST 77500.00 IN 2007 SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. A FORD OR CHEVY WOULD DO BETTER. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT BMW KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2010 X5 WITH THE 4.8 I ENGINE AND I DRIVE BUT NEVER MADE IT GOOD, JUST ASK ANYONE THAT OWNED ONE. MY LAST ONE I THINK KIA WOULD HOLD UP BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE WAY THE CAR HAS 125200 NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, IT JUST QUITS WITH NO WARNING. *TR

  2007 X5 4.8 WITH PANORAMIC SUNROOF, SUNROOF TRAY OVERFLOWS AND LEAKS INTO INTERIOR ELECTRICAL, AIRBAGS, AND CARPET DUE TO DEFECTIVE DESIGN/ASSEMBLY (BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION). SUNROOF DRAINS BOTH FRONT AND REAR HAVE DRAIN TUBES WHICH ARE PRONE TO KINK AND BACK UP WATER INTO THE SUNROOF TRAY, WHICH THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE TOPSIDE OF THE HEADLINER AND FROM THERE ONTO JUST ABOUT EVERY ELECTRONIC ITEM IN THE CAR INCLUDING AIR BAGS AND CONTROLLERS, LIGHTING CONTROLS, AND ELECTRICAL BOXES ON THE FLOOR AND TRUNK AREA. SOME HAVE REPORTED ARCS AND CAR FIRES DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE; BMW SAYS IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE ALTHOUGH HAS ZERO LISTED FOR SUNROOF MAINTENANCE, AND NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING IS GOING TO FIX THE SUNROOF DRAIN LINES THAT I FOUND TWISTED...LIKELY BEEN THAT WAY SINCE INITIAL ASSEMBLY, BUT ROUTING DOWN INSIDE THE APILLARS MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO TRY TO FIX IT, MUCH LESS SEE IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DEFECT HASN'T INVOLVED NHTSA RECALL SINCE IT CAN VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN IN-USE ELECTRICAL FIRE AT WORST, OR AT BEST FAILURE OF AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED DUE TO WATER/CORROSION ISSUES, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ELECTRICAL DAMAGE FOR EACH OCCURRENCE.

• 11/09/2014· POWER TRAIN

  IT WAS 9:57A.M. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH 2014, STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THAT THE WHOLE DRIVE TRAIN WOULD SLIGHTLY JERK WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING 15-25% OF LOAD, (I BOUGHT A VEHICLE TWO MONTHS AGO, AND FROM THE FIRST DAY - ON COLD - IT WOULD MAKE THE SAME SYMPTOM FOR COUPLE OF FIRST 500-700 YARDS, AFTER COUPLE OF STOPS AND GOES, VEHICLE HEATS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIVE NORMALLY.) AT 10:20A.M, SAME SATURDAY, I MADE A FULL STOP ON A STOP SIGN TURNING RIGHT TO A MAIN STREET. AS MOST OF THE TRAFFIC WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN STREET, I WAITED FOR THE FAST PAS PACED TRAFFIC TO PASS BY, I TRIED TO ENTER THE MAIN STREET BY ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE. SO I APPLIED APPROX. 20-25% LOAD, IT WAS 5MPH WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO ALIGN STEERING WHEEL TO ZERO DEGREES CENTER, I HEARD AND FELT REAR SUSPENSION FREEZING UP, CLICKING AND CHATTERING WITH LOUD GRINDING SOUND (SOUNDED LIKE THE AXLE FELL OUT) ENGINE RPM WOULD INCREASE TO 3,000RPM BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND SOMETHING IN THE REAR WAS STILL GRINDING WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB, BLOCKING RIGHT LANE. VEHICLE HAD NO TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS OR ERROR MESSAGES ON CLUSTER. I DID TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY BMW TECHNICIAN, AND HE TOLD ME THAT I NEED REAR DIFFERENTIAL, REASON INTERNAL FAILURE, I TOLD TECHNICIAN TO MAKE NOTES OF ANYTHING UNUSUAL WHILE TAKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WAS RIGHT AT ITS LEVEL AND NO LEAKS OR EVEN SEEPAGE WAS NOT NOTICEABLE (I OWNED MANY BMWS WELL OVER 200K MILES ON THE CLUSTER, AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH REAR DIFFERENTIALS.)

  Unintended acceleration with loss of braking effectiveness. We hit a tree head on going at least 50 by the time we struck it.

• 11/07/2017· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I HAVE DISCOVERED A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 X5. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, I NOTICED THAT THE TRUNK OF MY CAR WAS FILLED WITH WATER. I REMOVED 3.5 GALLONS OF WATER. I WENT TO START THE CAR BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WITH THE BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS BEING COVERED IN THAT MUCH WATER, IT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ONCE I HAD REMOVED THE WATER AND LET IT DRY OUT I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. WHEN I GOT IT TO START, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. MY ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, 4X4 LIGHTS ALL LIT UP AMONGST SOME OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND HAD TO MANUALLY PUSH IT IN THE GARAGE. THE CAR IS STUCK IN A LIMP MODE/SAFE MODE. AFTER I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR BMW'S. I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A US DISTRICT COURT RULING AGAINST THIS ISSUE AND THAT BMW 5 SERIES CARS BETWEEN 2004-2010 WERE COVERED IN A RECALL. THE RECALL IS DUE TO FAULTY WATER DRAIN TUBES COMING FROM THE SUNROOF AND WHEN THEY GET CLOGGED THE WATER DRAINS INTO THE TRUNK WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED AMONGST OTHER IMPORTANT ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL BMW DEALER AS WELL AS BMW OF NORTH AMERICA AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AS THE RECALL PERTAINS ONLY TO THE 5 SERIES VEHICLES. IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT BMW IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SPECIFIES ONLY 5 SERIES CARS THEY CAN USE THAT AS A LOOPHOLE AND LEAVE OTHERS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

• 10/04/2010· POWER TRAIN

  WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP, THE CAR DOES NOTHING WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN LUNGES FORWARD. THE SUDDEN BUCKING AND HESITATION MAKES HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR ESPECIALLY IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. I LIVE IN A SUBURB OF NEW YORK CITY AND I DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT 5 TIMES EVERY WEEK. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU ACCELERATE, BUT MOSTLY WHEN THE CAR IS HOT, LIKE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR PERFORMS FINE WHEN IT IS COLD. THE DEALER HAS EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, AND THE CAR HAS IMPROVED, BUT IT IS STILL BAD WHEN IT GETS HOT. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE REFUSE TO DO MORE THAN DRIVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND THE LAST TIME IT WAS THERE THEY DROVE IT WHILE IT WAS COLD AND IT WAS OK. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THEM SIX (6) TIMES AND THEY STILL CAN NOT FIX THIS. I THINK THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL IN TRAFFIC AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEDAY I MIGHT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN TRAFFIC.

THE BURDEN OF COORDINATING AN AUTOMOBILE TOW AND REPAIR THAT DAY WAS LEFT TO MY WIFE, THE MOTHER OF OUR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. TO SAY THAT THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE TO HER IS A GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT. WE PURCHASED THE BMW BASED ON ITS PREVIOUS REPUTATION FOR QUALITY, AND WE PAID MUCH MORE FOR THIS VEHICLE THAN WE WOULD HAVE FOR SOMETHING LIKE A HONDA ODYSSEY OR A TOYOTA SIENNA. WE WERE WILLING TO PAY MORE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT, DURING MY LONG AND FREQUENT ABSENCES IN THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTRY, MY WIFE AND FAMILY WOULD HAVE A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS DECISION TO PURCHASE THIS BMW PRODUCT WAS A MISTAKE, AND ONE I NEVER INTEND TO REPEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 6,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY, AND YET NONE OF THE $1,781.31 INVOICE WAS COVERED BY BMW; IT WAS COVERED SOLELY BY MY SAVINGS. I CAN NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE RECOMMEND ANY BMW PRODUCT TO ANY OF MY FRIENDS OR COLLEAGUES.
