2015 BMW X5 Complaints

MY VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY INJECTOR, SHORTLY AFTER GOT ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION TO FIX THE EXHAUST GAS NOX SENSOR, THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN THE RECALL I RECEIVED FOR ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING : EXHAUST SYSTEM: EMISSION CONTROL: GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE ( EGR VALVE ) DID THIS TRIGGER NEW PROBLEMS FOR MY CAR? IT SEEMS LIKE THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS FAILING FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 4YRS OLD.

TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES AN HOUR THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED, SHOWERING US WITH GLASS. WE WHERE ON CLEAR ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND US AND A TEMPERATURE OF 35 DEGREES. THE BMW IS NOW BEING REPAIRED AT THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING MY BMW X5 ON I-195 WEST BOUND IN FALL RIVER MA. ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 2019, DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IN THAT SECTION OF HIGHWAY. THE ROADWAY WAS LIGHTLY TRAVELED, MID-MORNING. THERE WERE NO OVERPASSES OR TUNNELS IN THIS SECTION OF ROADWAY. I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD "BOOMING" NOISE. THE LARGE, PANORAMIC, MAIN SECTION OF MOONROOF EXPLODED, RIPPING AWAY A SIGNIFICANT SECTION OF GLASS, BLOWING OUT INTO THE AIR AND SOME IMPLODED INTO MAINLY THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT AND BACK SEATS OF THE SUV. I WAS THE SOLE PASSENGER AND WAS NOT INJURED. AT NO TIME WAS THERE A LOSS OF CONTROL. I PULL OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO REVIEW THE DAMAGE TO THE MOONROOF AND REST OF THE CAR. IT APPEARED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS CONTAINED TO THE CENTER SECTION OF THE MOONROOF. TO PREVENT ADDITIONAL SHARDS OF GLASS FROM FALLING INTO THE VEHICLE, I CLOSED THE INTERNAL SHADE OF THE MOONROOF, WHICH HAS BEEN OPEN WHEN THE GLASS BROKE APART. I DID NOT DETECT ANY EXTERNAL OBJECT HITTING THE VEHICLE AND CAN ONLY PRESUME THAT THE BREAKAGE WAS TOTALLY SPONTANEOUS. ALSO, WHILE THERE IS A BMW ROOF RACK ON THE CAR, I WAS NOT CARRY ANY SPORTS EQUIPMENT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THERE ARE TWO SADDLES ON THE RACK FOR CARRYING A KAYAK. I DID NOT CONTACT ANY EMERGENCY OR POLICE. I HAVE NOT SEEN A NEED TO FILE AN ACCIDENT REPORT WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES. I CONTINUED ONWARD TO AN APPOINTMENT AT A NEARBY LOCATION OUTSIDE OF FALL RIVER AND THEN RETURNED HOME ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. MY REASSESSMENT OF THE DAMAGE WHEN I GOT HOME WAS THE SAME AS THE INITIAL INCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND AM AWAITING A REVIEW BY AN ADJUSTER. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL BMW DEALER TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION. FOR NOW, BMW HAS INDICATED THAT THE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED. THERE ARE TWO PHOTOS SHOWING A KAYAK. IT IS NOT ON THE CAR, BUT ATTACHED TO A NEARBY WALL IN THE GARAGE OF MY CONDO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 BMW X5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THREE SECONDS AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

HAVE A 2015 BMW X5. PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND PICKED IT FROM FACTORY. THE SUSPENSION HAD BEEN MAKING A NOISE AND IT'S FOUND THAT THE CONTROL ARMS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER REPLACING AND A FEW THOUSAND MILES, THE SAME ISSUE RECURS IN THE NEW CONTROL ARMS IN THE FROM SUSPENSION. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE CONTROL ARMS THAT BMW IS PROVIDING/SUPPLYING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DIAGNOSING COSTS $145, PART AND INSTALLATION COST $800 EACH TIME FROM THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 BMW X5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V755000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THREE WARNING MESSAGES APPEAR (I HVE TO CLICK "OK" TO REMOVE THEM) EACH TIME I START THE CAR. THE MESSAGE IS ABOUT THE AIRBAG, THE BELT TENSIONER, AND THE BELT FORCE LIMITER. THIS FOR THE BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR, BUT NOTICE THROUGH EXPEIMENTATION,THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I GIVE A RAPID TUG ON THE SHOULDER BELT IT STOPS AFTER A FEW INCHES (AS IT SHOULD) AND SOMETIMES IT GOES FORWARD A COUPLE OF FEET WITHOUT ANY REISTANCE. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY OTHER EXPERIMENTATION. THIS IS TRUE FOR THE VEHICLE BEING STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. SINCE THE DEALER WANTS $185 JUST TO LOOK (I AM A FEW MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY), I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEIR IS THE REALISTIC POSSIBLITY OF A RECALL. THIS WOULD SAVE ME ANALYSIS AND SUBSEQUENT REPAIR EXPENSES.

AS THE VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP USING THE BRAKES. THE CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THE MALFUNCTION WAS REPORTED TO BMW AND WE HAVE INSISTED (ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS) A REPORT UPON THEIR INSPECTION OF THE CAR - HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING TO DATE. INSTEAD THEY OFFERED A NOMINAL SUM TO RELEASE THEM FROM ANY LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENT. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THE MALFUNCTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I-15 SOUTH NEAR CAMINO DEL NORTE, MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE CAME FROM THE INSIDE, BACK, DRIVERS SIDE FROM THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! AS I ENTERED THE 15 A FEW MILES BEFORE, I NOTICED ALL OF THE PRESET STATIONS WEREN'T WORKING AND THEN THE CAR GAVE AN AIR BAG WARNING. AFTER THE AIRBAG WARNING, THERE WAS A PARKING BRAKE WARNING. THAT IS WHEN I PULLED OVER, GRABBED MY PURSE, AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. I CALLED 9-1-1.THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT.
