TAKATA RECALL- MY 2007 BMW X5 AFTER START UP AND PULLING IT IN GEAR (RATHER DRIVE OR REVERSE ) WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO BACK TO PARK. EVEN STOPPING AT STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS IT WOULD GO BACK TO PARK. I CALLED THE BMW SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO REACH BACK OUT TO ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS IN CINCINNATI A FEW DAYS AGO AND NEARLY GOT IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WENT INTO PARK AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO GO ON GREEN.

16V-071 : DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE RECALL - CALLED BMX ON LEMMON AVE IN DALLAS, TX TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AND THEY SAID THE DID NOT HAVE THE PART NOR KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM. I WROTE TO BMW AND THEY REPLIED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO DO SO UNTIL SPRING 2017.

VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND ACCELERATING SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING MAINLY IN THE CITY I COULD B TURNING OR DRIVING STRAIGHT AND SHUTS OFF AND TAKES AWHILE TO RESTART...ELECTRICAL WIRING KEEPS SHORTING OUT SUNROOF SHORTS OUT AND TAIL LIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT...I TOOK IT TO DEALER PAID $5000 AND SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER THE GAS CAP IS OPENED WHEN RE-FUELING AND A NOTICEABLE BURNT SMELL IS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP SERVICING BMW NEAR ME. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED. I INCURRED ABOUT $2230 IN REPAIR CHARGES. FROM THEN ON, THE PROBLEM HASN'T RE-OCCURED.

THIS IS INVOLVING THE RECALL ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE INVOLVING THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP...BMW STILL HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE, I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER IN CICERO, NEW YORK AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER 6 MOS AGO AND MY VEHICLE'S INSPECTION WAS DUE IN MARCH AND THEY WILL NOT PASS IT BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS ISSUE CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. SO I KEEP GETTING TICKETS BECAUSE I AM AN ATTORNEY AND NEED MY CAR TO DRIVE ALL OVER FOR WORK. ITS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN OVER 6 MOS AND I KEEP GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE FROM THE DEALER. ALSO, THE AIRBAG RECALLS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED EITHER PRESENTING ANOTHER DANGER IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE 2008 - 2014 BMW X5 ENGINE TROUBLES ARE THE SAME ISSUES MY 2007 ENGINE ARE HAVING, YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THE 2007. THERE SHOULD BE SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUES.

RECENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SMELLING OF GASOLINE. THE CABIN FILLS UP WITH THE ODOR. THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS WHEN IT IS RUNNING OR SHORTLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE SMELL HAS GOT WORSE. I ONLY RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF A RECALL SPECIFYING SIMILAR ISSUES. I WANTED TO MAKE RECORD OF MY ISSUE AND COMPLAINT REGARDING MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE GOING DOWNWARD ON THE RAMP WITH MY 2007 X5. MY TIRE BLEW OFF THE RIM CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND EVENTUALLY STRIKE THE SIDE WALL. WAS WEARING SEAT BELT DURING ACCIDENT,SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN ME AND HEAD HIT WINDSHIELD. DEBRIS FROM AIRBAG IN STEERING WHEEL CUT ME IN VARIOUS PLACES. NOT ALL OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, ONLY STEERING WHEEL AND CURTAIN. SECOND ACCIDENT WITH A BMW TRUCK WHERE EITHER ONLY A FEW DEPLOYED OR NONE AT ALL. THIS ISSUE REALLY CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT AND WASN'T FULLY PROTECTED AT ALL. BMW ARE TOO GOOD OF CARS FOR THIS MAJOR FLAW. ALSO, I CONTACTED BMW AROUND DECEMBER 2015 IN REFERENCE TO RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART CAME IN. CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES AFTERWARDS AND WAS TOLD BMW STILL HASN'T SENT PART OUT. ...UPDATED 06/13/17 *BF UPDATED 09/19/217*JS

RECURRING "PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTIONS" SINCE SUMMER 2012 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT LEADS TO FAILURE TO ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT IN PARK INCREASING RISK OF "ROLLING" AND IN SEVERAL INCIDENTS RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE WHEN PLACED INTO DRIVE REQUIRING MANUAL RELEASE OF PARKING BRAKE AND LATER "REPAIR" BY BMW SERVICE CENTER WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM .

I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT ANOTHER OWNER MADE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10621394, PERTAINING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V564000. IN MY CASE A REPAIR SHOP HAS INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE'S FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT IS DEFECTIVE AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

MY X5 BMW 2007 6 CYLINDER 3.0 WITH 74,605 MAKES A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHEN IN COLD I RECENTLY PURCHASED IT ON MARCH 9,2007 AT THE AUTO WEST BMW OF FREMONT.I HAVE TAKEN IT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO THE DEALER FOR THAT SAME REASON AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEN THAT THERE IS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW EVERY MORNING I START THE CAR IT MAKES THE SAME NOISE AFTER I RUN IT FOR A COUPLE MILES IT STOPS BUT THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS NORMAL AND I HAVE ONLY RAN IT MAX 3,000 MILES SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I ALSO BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR IT BUT THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG THAT IS NORMAL FOR IT TO MAKE THAT NOISE . *TR

REPLACED REAR SWAY BAR LINK TWICE WITH BECK-ARNLEY PART NUMBER 1017108. THIS PART WAS DIRECTLY SHIPPED FROM THEIR SMYRNA TENNESSEE LOCATION. BECK ARNLEY IS A MAJOR SUPPLIER OF AFTERMARKET PARTS. THE PART FAILED 2 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A DAY OF INSTALL. THE LAST TIME, AFTER REPLACING THE FIRST FAILED PART. THE BALL JOINT SNAPPED IN TWO WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE PART FAILED THE NOISE MADE A LOUD BANG AND THE CAR JERKED TO THE LEFT. I BELIEVE IF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT DRY, YOU COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I INSTALLED, THIS PART SEPARATED FROM THE BALL JOINT WITH A LOUD BANK, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP LIGHT CLOSE TO HOME. DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED TILL I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW THE FAILED BALL JOINT. I NOTIFIED THEM, AT FIRST THEY WERE RESPONSIVE, BUT NOW THEY DON'T RESPOND TO EMAILS. *TR

IN TANK FUEL PUMP THAT CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND A OBVIOUS BURNT RUBBER SMELL TO PERMEATE INSIDE THE VEHICLE CABIN AFTER FUELING AND DRIVING THE CAR HOME AND PARKING IT IN THE GARAGE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS LOWERED OVERNIGHT, BUT ONCE YOU START THE VEHICLE THE SELF-LEVELING MECHANISM PUMPS THE AIR INTO THE SUSPENSION AIR BAG (MY VEHICLE USES AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM). THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. BMW FORUM SHOWS HUNDREDS OF BMW OWNERS WHO HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY BY BMW. *TR

THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP HAS CONSTANTLY FAILED EVEN AFTER REPLACING IT AND CAUSED ALSO DAMAGE TO FUSE BOX AND THERMOSTAT MOST OF THE TIME. BMW MUST BE FORCED TO RECALL THE 2007 X5 3.0I AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. *TR

I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT ANOTHER OWNER MADE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10483182. THE PLASTIC ROCKER SWITCH FOR THE ELECTROMECHANICAL PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE BROKE DURING THE COURSE OF NORMAL ACTUATION AND REQUIRED THE ENTIRE "EMF SWITCH" ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESUME OPERATION OF THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE.

WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE SWITCH DESIGN THAT MIGHT ADDRESS THE MATTER GOING FORWARD I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE DESIGN OF THE REPLACEMENT PART.
