DRIVING THE FOR 18 MILES UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD TO A SKY RESORT ON SNOW COVERED ROAD. NEVER EXCEEDED 20 MPH BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS.

WENT TO OUR ROOM. 20 MINUTES LATER THE SHERIFF CALLS AND SAID MY CAR IS ON FIRE. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

OUR BMW X5 2014 HAD A SUDDEN SPONTANEOUS FIRE WHICH ENGULFED THE ENTIRE CAR WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY.

SUNROOF MOTOR SHORTED AND KILLED BATTERY AT 45,000 MILES. CAUSED DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. DOOR MOLDING ON REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SEPARATING. FUEL INJECTORS FAILED (CYLINDER 4 AND 6) CAUSING DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION AT 55,000.MILES

THIS 2014 BMW X5 HAS A DIESEL ENGINE. THE FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED TWICE IN NINE MONTHS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND COMPLETELY STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT BOTH TIMES. HOWEVER, THIS CAN OCCUR WHILE IN MOTION AT ANY TIME. THIS DIESEL ENGINE FUEL PUMP FAILURE IMPACTS ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH REQUIRES A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT (PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT FOR FIRST REPAIR. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT BMW SERVICE}. THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN BECAUSE THEY KEEP USING THE SAME PARTS. I AM SURE WITH SOME INVESTIGATING YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS IS AN UNREPORTED PROBLEM WITH BMW. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS AT STAKE AND BMW IS BEING COMPLETELY EVASIVE AT THIS POINT.
