THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING 3 TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE AND KIDS INSIDE THE CAR. I CONSIDER VERY LUCKY THIS HAPPENED ON COUNTY ROAD TWO TIME AND ONES IN THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, INSTEAD OF MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH GAUGES. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 11/13 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH THE DAUGHTER TO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, GAS READING SHOWS ABOVE 1/4 TANK AND 146 MILES REMAINING (I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CLUSTER). BUT THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOP TWITHOUGHT ANY WARNING WHICH WILL BE A DEADLY SITUATION IF HAPPENED IN THE HIGHWAY. THE REASON FOR IT TO STOP WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK THOUGH IT GIVES A READING OF OVER 1/4 TANK 146 MILES REMAINING. MY LAST VISIT TO THE DEALER WAS ABOUT A MONTH BACK AND I WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE SENSOR INSIDE THE TANK WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUES BMW NA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE CAR IS WITH BMW OF ROCKVILLE.

THE ENGINE SEIZED WITH 100,500 MILES WHILE DRIVING AND CAR SHUT DOWN VERY SCARY! AWFUL CAR, EMBARRASSING HOW MANY THO HA GO WRONG WITH THIS SUV THEY SHOULD BAN BMW FROM PUTTING A PRODUCT LIKE THIS IN THE USA MARKET!
