2011 BMW X5 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL LETTER 11 MONTHS AGO FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE 2ND RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE IN MAY OF 2016. I AM STILL BEING TOLD THERE IS NO RESOLUTION AS OF YET.THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON WAY TO LONG AND MY SAFETY IS AT RISK. I AM UNABLE TO SELL THE CAR DUE TO THIS OPEN RECALL AND NEED RESOLUTION ASAP.

IN-TANK FUEL PUMP. BMW HAS NOT SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO RESOLVE ISSUE. RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-746 , THEY CLAIM NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND STILL BMW SAYS IT DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW X5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V364000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE PARTS WITH THE SAME PART AS AN INTERIM REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V071000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT EXPECTED THE MANUFACTURER TO SUPPLY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE RECALL TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE RECALL AND THE PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE WHEN THE REMEDY REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED FOR BOTH RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL....NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY FASHION. SPOKE WITH BMWNA, EXPLAINED THAT I'M LOOKING TO SELL THE VEHICLE, THAT I PAID CASH AND THE TRUCK IS DEPRECIATING.. LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE A TRADE IN...WANT THE VEHICLE FIXED ASAP SO IT IS SELLABLE... I HAVE SEEN BMW CPO VECHICLES FOR SALE THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE SAME RECALL AND SAME REGION THAT WERE CLEARED OF THE ISSUE... I WOULD LIKE THE SAME TREATMENT...

DRIVING IN THE CITY, 20MPH. I FELT A SLIGHT BUT NOTICEABLE VIBRATION. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, TURNED RIGHT, ACCELERATED TO 10MPH. AT THAT TIME THE FRONT U-JOINT BROKE CAUSING AN YET TO BE DETERMINED AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN AND WELL REPORTED ISSUE WHICH THE BMW X5. I URGE THE NHTSA TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO INVESTIGATE THE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FILE WITH YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW X5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND SMOKE EMITTED UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL DIESEL HEATHER FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V339000 (FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS 80,886 MILES AND JUST HAD OIL CHANGED AT BMW DEALERSHIP, FIELDS BMW WINTER PARK FL. I REQUESTED A CHECK ON THE VEHICLE AS THERE HAS BEEN A GRINDING/VIBRATION NOISE ON TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT AT INTERSECTIONS OR MOVING FROM A PARKED POSITION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANSFER CASE IS FAILING AND TO REPLACE IT WOULD BE $6,666.40. I AM SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS DIAGNOSIS FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 81,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE GEARBOX FAILING WHILE DRIVING AND THIS COULD BE A HIGH SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND THE FAMILY. I CERTAINLY THINK THAT BMW GEARBOX SHOULD LAST LONGER, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER SAID I REALLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY ANOTHER ~$7000 AND WONDERED IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE?

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COOLANT PUMP SPEED OUTSIDE THE TOLERANCE RECALL (CODE: 3792) MY CAR WAS OVER HEATING, SO I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE ON THE HIGHWAY 202. AFTER THAT I LET ME CAR COOL DOWN, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, THE ENGINE STILL OVERHEATED.
