2015 BMW X1 Complaints

AT AROUND 8000 MILES THE CAR WOULD HESITATE UPON HARD ACCELERATION, (MERGING INTO TRAFFIC) THE CAR BECAME UNPREDICTABLE, SOMETIMES IT WOULD PREFORM AS DESIGNED OTHER TIMES IT WOULD PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE COMPLAINT FROM OTHER OWNERS AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE A FIX. I CALLED BMWNA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AFTER A FEW OF TRYING TO GET AN APPOINTMENT UNSUCCESSFUL THE CAR ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, I TOOK IT BACK IN AND AFTER A WEEK THEY HAD DECIDED TO REPROGRAM IT, UPON DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED IT WAS MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE AND DROVE LIKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CAR. HOWEVER IT DISPLAYED THE PROBLEM ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS JUST NOT AS SEVERE. I CALLED BMWNA AND UPDATED THEM, THEY SENT A FIELD ENGINEER OUT WHO LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND TOLD ME "JUST DRIVE IT IN SPORT MODE", I DONT FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD DRIVE IN SPORT MODE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I CALLED BMWNA AND TOLD THEM OF THE RESULTS AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, THEY REFUSED. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE.

I CRASHED MY CAR ON 11/10/2015 AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I DROVE THROUGH A HEAVY RAIL FENCE AND STRUCK A TREE WITH THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE BUMPER. A LARGE SECTION OF THE FENCE PENETRATED THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND LODGED IN THE VEHICLE. CAUSE OF ACCIDENT I BECAME UNCONSCIOUS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HEART PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL. BMW DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERRING MY LEASE TO ANOTHER WILLING PARTY WHEN BMW NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL ISSUE AND BLOCKED THE LEASE TRANSFER WHICH THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO. THEY ALSO WILL NOT LET ME PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. BOTH THESE ISSUES BREACH THE LEASE AGREEMENT I SIGNED WITH THEM. THE CAR IS UNUSABLE WITH SUCH A DEFECT AND IS LIKELY TO TAKE 6MONTHS OR MORE TO FIX. THEY OFFER NO TIME LINE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND REQUEST THAT I SIGN A WAIVER ACCEPTING AN INFERIOR RENTAL CARE DURING THE PERIOD IT TAKES FOR THEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND ASSUME THE COST AND LIABILITY OF STORING THE UNUSABLE BMW. I EITHER WANT BMW TO FIX THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, LET ME CANCEL MY LEASE WITH NO PENALTY.

ON FEBRUARY 7TH, 2016 AT 3:15 AM, ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN FOREST HILL AND MILITARY, A DRUNK DRIVER TRAVELING WEST BOUND WHILE I WAS HEADING EAST DROVE INTO MY LANE, HITTING ME DIRECTLY. AFTER THIS HEAD-ON COLLISION, THE DRIVER DECIDED TO FLEE THE SCENE, LEAVING ME STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN PAIN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALIVE. THE AIRBAG INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY LEAVING ME WITH EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY NECK, CHEST AND KNEE. I COULD NOT BREATHE OR TALK, I WAS RUSH TO THE WELLINGTON REGIONAL HOSPITAL. I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT AND I WAS GOING TO TURN LEFT ON MILITARY TRAIL, THE GUY WHO CRASHED ONTO ME WAS COMING FROM THE NORTH ON MILITARY TRAIL TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT ONTO FOREST HILL BLVD, BUT TOOK THE LANE HEADING EAST INSTEAD OF THE ONE HEADING WEST. HE WAS DRIVING REALLY FAST WHILE I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT TO TURN LEFT.
