I OWN A BMW X5 DIESEL 2009 MODEL YEAR, SOMETIME 2012 THE DEF ACTIVE TANK WAS REPLACED AS COVERED BY RECALL. NOW IT HAS STARTED TO GIVE THE SAME CEL CODE ( ACTIVE TANK TEMP SENSOR FAILURE). THE REPLACEMENT FOR THIS ISSUE IS VERY COSTLY. THIS IS PART OF EMISSIONS AND BMW DOES NOT WANT ANY REPLACEMENT WITHOUT ANY COST TO CONSUMERS.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THREE OPEN RECALLS FOR EXTENSIVE PERIODS OF TIME, THERE IS NO END DATE TO WHEN BMW IS PROMISING TO COMPLETE THE WORK BY, AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSELLABLE AS A RESULT. FOR OVER 18 MONTHS, THERE HAS BEEN A DRIVE AIR BAG RECALL OPEN AND OUTSTANDING WITH NO END DATE. A SECOND AIR BAG RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR AROUND A YEAR, AGAIN WITH NO END DATE. A THIRD RECALL RELATES TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, AND AGAIN THERE IS NO END DATE PROVIDED BY BMW. I HAVE RAISED A COMPLAINT BEFORE WITH NHSTA AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WE ARE STUCK WITH OUR VEHICLE; NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH OPEN RECALLS AND NO END IN SIGHT. BMW DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BMW NOT TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. THEREFORE WE CANNOT EVEN SELL THE CAR BACK TO BMW FRANCHISES. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNFAIR, ESPECIALLY SINCE BMW HAS BEEN AWARDED A LARGE SETTLEMENT FROM ITS AIR BAG MANUFACTURER BUT TAKEN NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THE VEHICLES AT ALL. WHY IS NHTSA NOT HELPING CONSUMERS SUFFERING LOSSES AT THE HANDS OF THIS TERRIBLE CAR MANUFACTURER?

THIS SUV HAS 3 SAFETY RECALLS. BOTH THE AIRBAGS ARE IN THE TAKATA AND THE FUEL PUMP CREATES AND EXTREME RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BMW IS AS A COMPANY IS KEEPING THESE FAULTY CARS ON THE ROAD. EVERY TIME I GET IN IT I AM NERVOUS AND AFRAID FOR MY LIFE. NOW MY WIFE AND KIDS DO NOT DRIVE WITH ME IN THE CAR. IT HAS BECOME A HUGE BURDEN. IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT BMW BUT EVEN MORE SO THAT OUR GOVERNMENT WILL ALLOW THESE UNSAFE CARS ON THE ROADS. EVERY TIME I TALKED TO BMW THEY TRY TO DOWN PLAY THE ISSUE. BUT I SIMPLY CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND IT'S UNFAIR TO ME BECAUSE DEALERSHIPS WON'T EVEN TAKE IT DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALLS. I KEEP SMELLING FUMES FROM THE CAR AND I BELIEVE THESE CARS ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL DEFECTS WITH THE RADIATOR TO ADD TO THE ISSUES ALREADY EXPLAINED ABOVE. TODAY THE CAR STALLED AND I SAW SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP SITUATION BUT IT'S SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING THAT BMW IS WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY DIE BEFORE THEY WILL ADDRESS THESE DEFECTS IN THEIR CARS!!!! UNREAL!
