2006 BMW 7 SERIES Complaints

BMW OF NASHVILLE IS TELLING ME I NEED A NEW MOTOR IN MY 2006 750I BMW; THE ENGINE ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT. THEY SAY THE ENGINE BLOCK IS BAD. I AM 9,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY ARE SAYING IS ALL ON ME. I HAVE HAD ALL SERVICES REQUIRED AND NOT ONCE WAS IT BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY ENGINE WAS GOING BAD AND NOW IT'S GONE FROM BEING GOOD TO NEEDING ANOTHER ENGINE? DUE TO THE MILEAGE I HAVE ON THE ENGINE AND I FIND THIS TO BE A DEFECTED ENGINE AND WOULD ASK FOR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

VEHICLE SLAMS INTO FIRST GEAR UPON DECELERATION AND "SLIPS" IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY, AS IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. WHEN TRANSMISSION GETS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IT WILL SLAM INTO GEAR BEFORE ACCELERATION OCCURS. CAR WAS AT BMW DEALER FOR SEVEN DAYS WITH ALL SOFTWARE UPGRADES THAT DEALER SUGGESTED WERE PERFORMED AND STILL SAME PROBLEM. NO CALL BACKS TO DATE. SPOKE WITH BMW OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALER. UNWILLING TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ISSUED INTERCOMPANY TECH. BULLETINS REGARDING THE EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST LOCATED THE FAILURE AS THE BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION, BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT RECALL 10V446000 SERVICE BRAKES HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST VACUUM REMEDY WASN'T AVAILABLE; THEREFORE, THEY COULDN'T REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 95,826.

I PURCHASED 2 PIRELLI ROSSO TIRES FOR THE REAR OF MY 2006 BMW 760LI. I WAS DRIVING ON I-24W IN NASHVILLE, TN ON THE NIGHT OF 10/24/10. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND I COULD NOT KEEP MY CAR ON THE ROAD IF I WENT OVER 40 MPH. WHEN I CHECKED MY TIRES THE NEXT MORNING, I NOTICED THEY WERE COMPLETELY BALD. THEY ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES, USUALLY LASTING 15,000-20,000 MILES. THESE TIRES ONLY LASTED 3,500 MILES. I PURCHASED THESE TIRES ON 09/30/10. I AM A 36 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH 2 CHILDREN. I DO NOT HOT-ROD MY CAR OR DRIVE IN EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES MY CAR. I CONTACTED PIRELLI CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN ROME, GA. I WAS TREATED VERY RUDELY BY A WOMAN CALLING HERSELF "SANDRA". I WAS ONLY OFFERED 40% OFF A NEW SET OF REAR TIRES. NEVERMIND THAT THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THE TIRE. I CLEARLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE WOMAN ON THE OTHER LINE WOULD NOT HELP ME. SHE WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH TO ANYONE WHO COULD. SHE HUNG UP ON ME ONCE AND PUT ME THROUGH TO A STRANGE VOICEMAIL ANOTHER TIME. SHE BASICALLY TOLD ME I COULD TAKE OR LEAVE THE 40% AND THEY WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO DO ANYMORE. I TOOK MY CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN MURFREESBORO, TN. THEY CALLED CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND GOT THE SAME REACTION. IT'S GOING ON 3 DAYS NOW, AND PIRELLI HAS NOT FAXED OVER THE 40% DISCOUNT AS PROMISED OR ATTEMPTED TO HELP ME IN THIS SITUATION AT ALL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND ASKED THE WOMAN ANSWERING THE PHONE FOR ANOTHER NUMBER WHERE I MIGHT GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. SHE WOULD NOT HEAR MY COMPLAINT. *TR
