2012 BMW X6 Complaints

CAR IS JUMPING FORWARD WHEN IM COMING TO A STOP AT LIGHTS. ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ONE TIME. IT ALSO SHIVERS WHEN TURNING SLOW OR BACKING UP AND SLOWLY ACCELERATION. I CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING SO THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A BAD TIRE BUT REALIZED UPON RESEARCH IT COULD BE DRIVE TRAIN OR POWER STEERING. NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT GRILL AFTER ARRIVING HOME FROM WORK A WEEK AGO. LIFTED THE HOOD AND LOOKED AROUND. SAW FLUID BAKED ONTO A NOZZLE BUT COULDNT READ WHAT FLUID COMPARTMENT IT WAS.. JUST RESEARCHED ISSUES IM HAVING ONLINE AND SAW IT IS THE POWER STEERING NOZZLE, WHICH ACTUALLY HAD A RECALL BACK THE YEAR MY CAR WAS MADE FOR POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSING FIRES! SCARY STUFF CONSIDERING I HAD SMOKE COMING OUT OF ENGINE GRILL LAST WEEK.. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT BMW SERVICE DEPT HALF OF THE TIME IVE OWNED IT BECAUSE I NOTICE IT NOT FEELING OR DRIVING CORRECT FOR THE ENGINE I HAVE AND WHEN I HAD WARRANTY SO MANY ISSUE'S WERE IGNORED AND MADE WORSE BY THE HORRIBLE TECH'S THEY HAVE. MY TURBO'S HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE CAUSING MY CAR TO NOT PERFORM 100%, THEY NEVER ADVISED ME AND ALWAYS SAID CAR DROVE FINE. MY COOLANT WAS LEAKING BADLY AND AFTER DROPPING MY CAR WITH THEM, THEY GAVE IT BACK STATING IT WAS FIXED. I DROVE FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS AND REALIZED THE TECH NEVER PUT COOLANT BACK IN AND THE LIST GOES ON..

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN, AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (BELLEVUE BMW, 13617 NE 20TH ST, BELLEVUE, WA 98005) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE WAS 79,000.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE "STABILITY CONTROL INACTIVE" MESSAGE DISPLAYED BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY AND THE WARNING INDICATOR AND MESSAGE NO LONGER DISPLAYED.

MY TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND BMW OF CATONSVILLE SAYS THAT MY TWO AUXILIARY WATER PUMPS NEED REPLACING. THEY SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT A RECALL ITEM, BUT WHEN I GAVE THEM REFERENCE NUMBER 12V-161 WHICH IS A OLD RECALL NUMBER I WAS TOLD IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY CAR! ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THEIR TELLING ME THE TRUTH BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IN MY TRUCK HAS VALVE STEM SEAL PROBLEMS FOR THIS SAME YEAR. IF THERE TELLING ME THE TRUTH, THEN I FINE WITH MAKING PAYMENT FOR REPAIRS, BUT IF THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE I'M TRULY "UNSATISFIED!" CAN YOU LOOK INTO THIS MATTER,PLEASE? BE ADVISED, MY VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVABLE.

I WAS RECENTLY ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY CAME TO A HALT, SHAKING AND VIBRATING WHILES OTHER CARS WERE BEHIND ME. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE IN ACCIDENT WITH A TRAILER TRUCK WHO QUICKLY MANEUVERED FROM BEHIND ME. I DROVE THE CAR TO A BMW DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS CREATED THAT PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 90K MILES ON IT AND BMW IS REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED MY LIFE. I AM REQUESTING AT THIS POINT FOR BWM TO OPEN A CAMPAIGN FOR THESE FUEL INJECTORS OR THE GOVERNMENT ISSUE A RECALL ON THEM. I NEED ALL OF MY BMW X6 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED BY BMW . A SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME , IT IS BEST TO GET ALL THE INJECTORS REPLACED BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE N63 ENGINE AND THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING HARD FOR BMW NA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEM BECAUSE IT IS COSTING THEM TONS OF MONEY IN CIVIL SUITS. AGAIN I NEED THIS FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED ON MY CAR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I HAVE NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL , WORK OR CLINICAL ROTATION AND THIS IS SEVERELY AFFECTING MY GRADES. IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN BY BMW , I AM VERY PREPARED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO FILE A CLASS SUIT AGAINST THEM WITH EVERY DIME I HAVE.

LEAK POWER STEERING FLUID. IF THE FLAMMABLE LIQUID SPRAYS ONTO HOT ENGINE EXHAUST PARTS, AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE MAY OCCUR. ACCORDING TO NHTSA, THE LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID IS A RESULT OF A "MACHINING ERROR" IN THE STEERING GEAR SURFACE DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE BMW X5 AND BMW X6 "ACTIVITY VEHICLES."
