2011 BMW X5 Complaints

VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND HESITATES WHEN MAKING A HARD LEFT OF RIGHT TURN FROM A FULL STOP. (IE. TURNING RIGHT ON RED OR PULLING OUT OF A PLACE OF BUSINESS ONTO AN ACTIVE HIGHWAY.) I READ ABOUT 30 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE - ALL POINTING A FAULTY "TRANSFER CASE". MY VEHICLE 2011 BWM X5 35I HAS 76,000 MILES. I DO SEE A POWER TRAIN RECALL FOR THE 2011 X5'S BUT MINE (FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON IS NOT INCLUDED AND IT IS A 2011 (RECALL 17V138000) MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE AND WILL COST $3,000 TO REPAIR.

I AM HAVING AN EXHAUST LEAK INTO MY CABIN. I ALREADY REPLACED THE EGR COOLER AND IT WENT AWAY, BUT NOW THE SMELL IS BACK.

THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND SUDDENLY INCREASE IT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT ALSO JERKS STEERING FEELS LOOSE LEAKING OIL FROM THE ENGINE. COMPUTER ON THE DASH READS TO ADD A QUART THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY OTHER DAY SINCE I GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND ADVISORS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OIL ALL LIES. THEY DISMANTLED MY ENTIRE ENGINE THE VEHICLE NEVER DROVE THE SAME AGAIN PLUS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLICKERING. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY DRIVING SLOWING I PULLED OUT OF THE HIGHWAY INTO AND EXIT AND FROM THERE I HAD IT TOW TO BMW AFTER THEY SO CALLED FIXED IT AGAIN

DROVE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE BMW DEALER FOR COOLANT LEAK/WATER PUMP SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORM ME THE CAR STALLED DURING A STANDARD TEST DRIVE AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. THE WERE UNABLE TO SPECIFY WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL AND DID NOT RELEASE DIAGNOSTICS TO ME BUT TOLD ME THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. NY STATE DEPT OF VEHICLE FORWARDED A REPORT STATING VANOS FAULTS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY BMW RECALLS FOR ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRIC AUXILIARY WATER PUMP FAILURE, AND AN UNSPECIFIED RECALL FOR VANOS BOLTS UNIT THAT LOOSEN OR BREAK OVER TIME CAUSING THE ENGINE TO HAVE REDUCED POWER OR STALL. MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THESE RECALLS BUT SHOULD BE.

THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT OCCUPANCY SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. I AM CONCERNED IF IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. ALSO, THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT CHIMES EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED.

I GOT AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2011 BMW X5. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE ISSUE IS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER BMWS ALTHOUGH MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR MY BMW AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL.

I HAVE RECEIVED AN ENGINE CODE 4BCC " PASSIVE TANK FILL SENSOR" FOR MY 2011 BMW X5D. THIS IS IN THE THE EMISSION SYSTEM DEF TANK. THIS APPEARS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT IT IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM.

UPON STARTING MY CAR AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE, I HEARD A BRIEF ELECTRICAL BUZZING NOISE THAT THEN STOPPED. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE RADIATOR FAN, BUT THE FAN WASN'T MOVING. I DROVE MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES HOME AND PARKED IT. ABOUT 2.5 HOURS LATER, FROM INSIDE MY HOME, I HEARD THE SOUND OF WHAT SEEMED TO BE A SMALL EXPLOSION. I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND MY CAR'S ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. IT HAD PARKED, UNUSED WITH THE MOTOR OFF FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS ON A COOL DAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S WITH NO WARNING INDICATORS LIGHTS OR MESSAGES. I LATER LEARNED BMW HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL FIRES, HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVEDA RECALL NOTICE. PRESS REPORTS NOTE THAT MORE THAN 90 SUCH FIRES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO YOUR AGENCY, AND I CAN STILL FIND NO DOCUMENTATION ON YOUR WEBSITE OF THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE AN 2011 X5 DIESEL. I GOT ENGINE LIGHT ON BECAUSE OF PASSIVE TANK PROBLEM. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THIS CAR HAS SO MANY SES LIGHTS AFTER I GOT IT. I FIXED ACTIVE TANK OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BEFORE THEY HAD EXTEND WARRANTY FOR ACTIVE TANK. ITS LIGHTS ON AGAIN AND THIS TIME UNDER COVERED. BUT AFTER COUPLE OF MONTH THE PASSIVE TANK GOT PROBLEM. I CALLED BMW BUT THEY SAID IT'S NOT COVERED. IT'S $3000 AGAIN. I TALKED TO DEALER, DEALER SAID IT WILL NOT EFFECT MY DRIVE BECAUSE IT'S A BACK UP TANK (ONLY BE USED IF ACTIVE TANK BROKE) BUT IT WON'T PASS EMISSION TEST. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SES LIGHT ON AND I DID LOTS OF RESEARCH ABOUT PASSIVE TANK. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM AND SOME GOT COVERED BY BMW. I TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH BMW ABOUT THE SCR TANK. PASSIVE TANK IS THE SAME COMPONENT AS ACTIVE TANK AND IT'S BACK UP TANK. YOU ALREADY KNOW THESE TANKS HAVE PROBLEM WHY COVER ONLY ONE AND LET COSTUMER PAY THE OTHER ONE. AND WHY SOME COVERED SOME DON'T? THIS IS REALLY NOT FAIR AND I CAN'T PASS EMISSION TEST WITHOUT FIXING THIS ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT'S ALSO REALLY BOTHER'S ME (ENGINE LIGHT ON) WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY WITH MY KIDS AND DON'T KNOW IT THERE IS ANY OTHER PROBLEM EXCEPT PASSIVE TANK. PLEASE HELP ME ON ANYWAY YOU CAN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME!
