2011 BMW X5 Complaints

DRIVESHAFT RECALL- WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE LOW AND HIGH SPEED, VIBRATIONS CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAR. WHEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC, THERE WAS SOME FOREPLAY IN THE DRIVESHAFT AND COULD HAVE GIVEN OUT AT ANY MOMENT. HAD THE DRIVESHAFT GAVE OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT HIGHER SPEED, RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE ISSUE HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA FOR THE SAME MODEL OF LATER PRODUCTION DATES. MAIN CONCERN IS WHY ARE THE VEHICLES BEFORE THE COVERED PRODUCTIONS DATES AND MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES NOT BEING COVERED? PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION- PARKING BRAKE MOTOR FAILS WHICH CAUSES THE PARKING BRAKES TO BE LOCKED. DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WERE STRANDED. BASED ON INDEPENDENT RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH BMW VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU, BUT INADVERTENTLY SAID MY CAR WAS MFG IN MARCH 2011, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY MFG IN MARCH 2010. BMW PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES MFG FROM APRIL 4 TO NOV 30 2010. DUE TO CONTINUING COMPLAINTS, BMW RECALLED THE ENTIRE MODEL YEAR, BUT ONLY ADDED THE NEW RECALL TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL, SO IT GOES FROM APRIL 2010 TO 2013. MINE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST MFG IN 2010 AND HAS THE SAME ISSUE BUT WAS NOT RECALLED. CAN YOU PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL BACK ONE MONTH TO GET THE FIRST CARS PRODUCED THAT YEAR? MINE IS ABOUT THE ONLY ONE LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL AND HAS ALREADY FAILED AND IS IN THE SHOP BUT BMW DENIES THE CLAIM.
