2014 BMW 535I Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR LOCK WAS JAMMED INTO THE LOCKED POSITION AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITHOUT ACTUATING THE ELECTRIC DOOR UNLOCK SYSTEM. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THIS INSTANCE HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES TO OTHER BMW VEHICLES.

THE BRAKES ON MY BMW 535XI 2014, WERE REPAIRED AND THE BMW SHOP ON A SATURDAY AND BY TUESDAY, WHILE TURNING THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND FAILED, CAUSING ME TO HIT ANOTHER VICHICLE.

DRIVING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY 85 SOUTH. VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. ALL POWER LOST. POWER STEERING LOST. WARNING DISPLAY INDICATED DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER SHUTTING DOWN ON HIGHWAY AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO SAFETY AND THEN TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 535I. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES RUPTURED AND CAUSED NUMEROUS FLATS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE TIRE INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,200.

WARNING ON DASH BOARD TELLING FLAT TIRE. NO SIGN OF ANY RUPTURE OR NAIL BUT END UP REPLACING IT. A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON AUGUST, SEPT AND NOW IN OCT.I STRONGLY BELIEVE THOSE RE DEFECTIVE TIRES. REPLACED FOUR TIRES IN LESS THAN A YEAR WITH REPLACEMENT COST OF $2000 PLUS. BMW REFRAIN TO HELP AND SO IS GOOD YEAR THE MANUFACTURER. TIRES BURST EVEN YOU PASS A ROUGH BUMP. IN OVER 30 YEARS OF DRIVING NEVER HAD AN INCIDENT LIKE THIS. SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
