2001 BMW X5 Complaints

ENGINE WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY, BECAUSE HAS TO STOP CAR TO START IT AGAIN. *AK

FRONT DOORS LOCK OCCUPANTS INSIDE OF VEHICLE AND CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. OCCUPANTS MUST CRAWL OUT OF REAR OF VEHICLE TO EXIT. DOOR LOCKS APPEAR TO UNLOCK, AND HANDLES PULL, BUT THERE IS NO UNLOCKING OR RELEASE OF THE DOOR LATCH. *AK

BMW HAS A STALLING PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2001 3.0 LITER ENGINES ESPECIALY IN THE X5 SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE. SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS A MODIFICATION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM (WHICH OUR VEHICLE HAS HAD) BUT OUR VEHICLE STILL STALLS. I KNOW WE ARE NOT THE ONLY OWNERS WHO HAVE MADE THIS COMPLAINT. MAYBE A RECALL IS IN ORDER!*AK

THE BRAND NEW X5 HAS DANGEROUSLY DESIGNED FRONT DOORS. THE JAMB OF THE DOOR SWEEPS BACK TO A VERY SHARP METAL POINT. WHEN YOU OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR, THE TOP CAN STRIKE YOU IN THE HEAD CAUSING INJURY. THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU GRAB THE HANDLE YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT THE TOP SWEEPS FURTHER BACK NEAR YOUR HEAD. I HAD POKED MY EYELID ON AUGUST 14TH AND CALLED BMW. I NOW HAVE SEVERELY INJURED MY EAR. GETTING 11 STICHES. I CALLED BMW ON 10/13/00 TO FILE ANOTHER REPORT. IF ONE IS SIX FEET TALL, THIS CAR WILL INJURE THEM. *AK *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*734326
