WAS GOING TO LUNCH APPROX. 3-4 MILES FROM MY HOME AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, THE COMPUTER GAVE A PANIC WARNING TO IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE ENGINE AS IT WAS OVERHEATING AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE. I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND WAS CONFUSED AS THAT WAS THE ONLY WARNING AND IT APPEARED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD. AS I WAS DOING SO THE EXPANSION TANK EXPLODED AND THE HOT WATER SHOT PAST ME AND JUST CAUGHT MY RIGHT SHOULDER. NEEDLESS TO SAY IF THIS CAUGHT ME DEAD ON I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED BADLY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL ANOTHER DEALER AS THEY MAY HAVE BETTER INFORMATION. I HAD THE EXPANSION TANK REPLACED AND THEY REPLACED THE COOLANT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A AIR POCKET IN THE ENGINE AND THE COOLANT NEEDS TO BE TOPPED OFF AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE. IF NO RECALL, WHY NOT? *TR

I OWN A BMWX6 2009 AND UNDER 30,000 MILES I HAVE TO CHANGE TIRES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE OWNER MANUAL INDICATED THAT TIRES NEEDS REPLACEMENT AFTER 6 YEARS THE MOST. THE TIRES THREADS UNDER 30,000 ARE UNDER SPEC. AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THEM BY BMW SERVICE CENTER. I REPLACE THEM AND I FOUND OUT THAT MICHELIN IS NOT GIVEN A WARRANTY FOR TIRES INSTALLED ON BMWX6 2009 EVEN THAT ON THE OWNER MANUAL IS A STATEMENT THAT THE TIRES ARE WARRANTED BY THEIR MANUFACTURER. WHY A BRAND NEW CAR IS SOLD WITH TIRES WHICH ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY? NOT TAKING A CHANCE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT I REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AT MY COST OF OVER $1700 AND BMW IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE TIRES ARE WEARING OUT TOO SOON AND TO INFORM ALL THE OWNERS OF A POTENTIAL DANGER DRIVING THE CAR WITH TIRES WHICH ARE NOT EVEN WARRANTED BY THEIR MANUFACTURER. *TR

VEHICLE WASN'T DRIVING PROPERLY, CONSTANTLY PUTTING 1 QT OF OIL IN VEHICLE EVERY 2 WEEKS BECAUSE I WOULD GET A MESSAGE ON DASH SAYING LOW OIL. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOT SHOWING A PROBLEM. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND STILL NOTHING. SAME ISSUE HAPPEN AGAIN AND MORE TEST WERE RUN AND FINALLY THEY SAID IT WAS FUEL PUMP SYSTEM AND IT WAS FIXED. THE OIL ISSUE CONTINUED ON UNTIL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YET AGAIN AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS, TOOK ENGINE APART, TALKED TO THEIR MASTER TECH AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I FEEL ITS A LEMON AND DON'T WANT THE VEHICLE BACK. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT AND THINK THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD GIVE ME A NEW VEHICLE AND REIMBURSE ME FOR A CAR RENTAL, MILEAGE, TIME AND ENERGY WASTED BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY AND THEY DID NOTHING,. I'VE CONTACTED CORPORATE AND ALL IM TOLD IS GIVE THE DEALERSHIP TIME TO FIX THE VEHICLE....ITS BEEN 3 [XXX] WEEKS AND STILL THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. CUSTOMER SERVICE TREATMENT IS HORRIBLE, I WILL NEVER BUY THIS ANOTHER BMW PRODUCT AGAIN! I ADVISE PEOPLE TO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE AT ALL A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY--- INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
