2008 BMW 750LI Complaints

TAKATA RECALL.I WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WHICH 100% OF FAULT WAS ASSUMED BY THE HITTERS INSURANCE FIRM. THE OTHER DRIVER RAN THROUGH A REDLIGHT, AT INTERSECTION OF LEGACY AND HEDGCOXE IN IN PLANO, TX ROUND 6:40 PM.THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY TO PROTECT ME. THE AIRBAG ATTEMPTED TO DEPLOY MERE INCHES AND EXPLODED IN MY FACE CAUSING HOT AIR AND METAL TO BE RELEASED AND BLOWN INTO MY FACE AN EYES,THE FIREMAN ON SCENE HELPED ME OUT OF CAR AND STATED THAT AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT DID NOT PROTECT YOU BECAUSE YOUR INJURY IS APPARENT. SUBSEQUENTLY FOLLOWING SURGERY, MY LEFT FOREARM WAS REPAIRED WITH PERNMANT SCREWS AND PLATE HOLDING MY BONES TOGETHER. I SUFFERED NECK, BACK BILATERAL KNEES, AND TWO FRACTURES IN MY ANKLE. MY LEFT HAND HAS EXTENSIVE PAINFUL NUMBNESS AND SHOOTING PAINS ONE YEAR AFTER SURGERY. I AM STILL GRAPPLING WITH LIMITATIONS AND DISABILITIES TO THIS DAY. I AM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MAN TODAY AFTER THIS ACCIDENT AND MY DOCTORS CONCUR, THIS IS A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT IS OF CHRONIC DURATION.I HAVE ALL OF MY DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING POLICE REPORT,HOSPITAL BILLS PICTURES OF BOTH CARS, INSURANCE DOCUMENTS. .. UPDATED 08/21/17 *BF *CN

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR CLOSE FORCING ME TO DRIVE TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND LEFT ME STRANDED DUE TO ME NOT BEING ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. DOOR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE AND VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

A SUV TRAVELING AT 20 MILES PER HR HITS PASSENGER SIDE OF A 750 LI TRAVELING CROSSING A 2 WAY INTERSECTION SPINS THE CARS IN A CIRCLE WITH SKID MARKS ON THE HIGHWAY DAMAGE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DOOR AND THE LOWER PANEL OF CAR AND ONLY THERE BUMPER WAS LOOSE AND IT WAS DRIVEABLE HOW IS THAT A SUV TRAVELING AT SUCH SLOW SPEED AS I BEEN TOLD CAN DO SUCH DO AS MUCH DAMAGES TO A 750 LI AND THE CAR IS TOTALED

THE "TRANSMISSION FAULT DRIVE MODERATELY, DRIVE TO THE NEAREST BMW DEALERSHIP" IS THE MESSAGE THAT I GOT WHEN I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY A FEW WEEKS AGO, I HAVE 77,000 MILES AND I HAD JUST HAD A TUNE UP. OF COURSE I TOOK THE CARE TO BMW IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER TRAIN WAS BAD? THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $7000, I KNEW THERE WERE SOME ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH SOME OF THE BMW YEARS BUT I DIDN'T THINK 2008 SHOULD'VE HAD ANY PROBLEMS AS FAR AS THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AT 77,000?

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AT TIMES DOESN'T CLOSE, WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED, I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOMETHING WAS BLOCKING THE DOOR PREVENTING IT FROM CLOSING BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO BOUNCE BACK OPEN, I TRIED TO CLOSE IT AGAIN, I WAS EXITING MY CAR AND AGAIN IT WOULDN'T CLOSE AND BOUNCED BACK OPEN. I JIGGLED THE DOOR HANDLE AND ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT THE DOOR CLOSED. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I HAD EXITED MY CAR AND THE DOOR BOUNCED BACK OPEN. I DIDN'T JIGGLE THE HANDLE THIS TIME BUT ATTEMPTED TO SHUT IT AGAIN, AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE THIRD TIME THAT I TRIED TO SHUT IT AGAIN THAT IT FINALLY CLOSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AND BY THE THIRD TIME, I STARTED GOOGLING DOOR PROBLEMS IN 750LI AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005 - 2007 FOR THE "SOFT CLOSE" FUNCTION MALFUNCTIONING? THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING WITH MY 2008 750 LI, WHY WASN'T 2008 INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I HAD MY CAR INTO THE BMW DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BUT I KNOW THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR DOOR?

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. THE SUCTION MECHANISM DOES WORK AND THERE IS NO BACKUP SYSTEM TO ENSURE THE DOOR LATCHES. IT IS A MOST SEVERE SAFETY FLAW. THERE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR BMW CARS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL ISSUE AND THE GROSSES OF SAFETY NEGLECT BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY FLAW WHICH IS JUST COMPLETELY ABSURD. GIVEN THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A 2008 VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BMW 750LI. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE "TRANSMISSION FAULT DRIVE MODERATELY" MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR UNEXPECTEDLY UNLATCHED. THAT DOOR HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN OVER A WEEK AND THE DOOR APPEARED TO BE CLOSED BEFORE THIS INCIDENT.

MY 2008 BMW 750LI IS LEAKING OIL THEY SAY ITS THE PRESSURE SWITCH THEN THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BUSTER PUMP LEAKING. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL BMW BUT IT DO NOT COME UP UNDER MY VIIN NUMBER IN THE RECALL LIST OF VIIN. THE VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED SEARCHING FOR TRUE ANSWERS..

SYMPTOM WITH ENGINE STALLED AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING ON BUSY INTERSECTION.. THE TRANSMISSION AUTO TO P AFTER FULL STOP, COULD NOT CHANGE GEAR, BREAKS HARDENED. STEERING TIGHT! BATTERY WORKED BUT NO MESSAGE ON IDRIVE / DASHBOARD. ABOUT 6 TIMES TO RE-START BUT COULDN'T! WAITED 15 MINUTES LOOKED UP ISSUE ON THE WEB BY CELL PHONE. CAR STARTED, COLD START; SYMPTOM WAS CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON; REDUCED DRIVING POWER; CAR VIBRATION; IDRIVE MESSAGE "?TRANSMISSION FAILURE; P, N, R, 3, 5, 6 ; DRIVE MODERATELY TO NEAREST BMW DEALER ! PUT ON HAZARD LIGHT, DROVE HOME 1 MILE AWAY CAR VIBRATION SOUND NOTICEABLE. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE VEHICLE FAILURE ABRUPTLY WITH NO RESOLUTION OR WARNING?. MY 2008 BMW 750LI WITH 57,000 MILES STARTED NEXT DAY WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED FOR A FEW HOURS THEN OFF. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED WELL MAINTAINED NOT TO MENTION CALIFORNIA GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS NOW HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THIS BMW VEHICLE TOO FAR OF DISTANCE OR ON HIGHWAYS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE INCIDENTS. MAJOR DEFECT.! VEHICLE BECOMES RESISTANT TO DRIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALMOST GOT IN A MAJOR COLLISION DUE TO THIS MECHANICAL DEFECT PROBLEM. SHOULD I BE KILLED OR INJURED BY AN UNFORESEEN ACCIDENT DO TO THIS WOULD BE TRAGIC!
