2011 BMW X5 complaints

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND EVERY TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE ARE NO PARTS. NOW TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THIS IS GETTING ABSURD. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS FIXED?

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FRONT AIRBAG AND I'VE HAD A REQUEST TO FIX IT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. BMW KEEPS TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS IN. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND BMW IS NOT PROVIDING THE PARTS TO FIX THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW X5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V071000 (AIR BAGS) AND 17VV138000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (GLOBAL IMPORTS BMW IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW X5. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE ABS AND FOUR WHEEL TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND HAD TO BE MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH, AND NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED A U-SHAPED PIECE STICKING OUT OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE SHIELD. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE AND HAD TO CUT THE CABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BMW OF ARLINGTON IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, AND ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT AND TRANSMISSION WERE GOING TO BE REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL, BUT THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT GOING TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WELL LAST YEAR AT THIS EXACT SAME TIME THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT BROKE CAUSING A DOMINO EFFECT OF DAMAGES THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT SNAPPED AND SMASHED THE TRANSMISSION PAN AND DENTED THE EXHAUST PIPE. SERVICE ADVISER AT DEALER WAS NOT WANTING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES UNDER RECALL PROGRAM ACTED LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE OR THE RECALL IN EFFECT. AFTER I PRESENTED ALL MY FINDINGS THEY CONTACTED BMW NA AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ,EXHAUST AND THE DRIVE SHAFT AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO ME. HOWEVER I DID END UP PAYING OVER $4K FOR OTHER OIL LEAKS ETC. NOW THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERS WITH POPPING NOISE VERY HARD JERKING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THEY NOW CLAIM THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS BAD AND IT'LL COST $2700 (FOR THE PART ALONE) AND LABOR TO REPLACE THIS TO FIX THE ISSUE. I LOOKED UP ON LINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND BMW IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. SURELY THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AND THE TRANSMISSION ARE CONNECTED TO THE TRANSFER CASE. SO IF THE DRIVE SHAFT HAS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT ONCE THEN THAT MALFUNCTION MUST HAVE DAMAGED THE TRANSFER CASE ALSO OR IF THE INSTALL WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY THIS COULD HAVE DAMAGED THE TRANSFER CASE. WHICH I BELIEVE BMW SHOULD ADDRESS UNDER THE RECALL FOR FRONT DRIVE SHAFT. WHY IS NO ONE TAKING ANY ACTION ON THIS MATTER. A FAULTY TRANSFER CASE IN THE X5 CAN CAUSE LOSS OF DRIVE AND THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH IF THE OCCUPANTS ARE ON A FREEWAY OR IN AN

IT APPEARS THAT THE BMW X5 35I HAS THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSFER CASE ON A HUGE NUMBER OF THE VEHICLES. WHILE THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VIN #'S I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE TO EXTEND IT TO ALL OF THEM. MY X5 HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS EXPIRED BECAUSE OF MILEAGE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH NOTICE WHEN IT GOES OUT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH. DOES BMW OR THE NATIONAL SAFETY ADMINISTRATION REALLY WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ? I THINK NOT ONLY MY VIN # NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED BUT ALL BMW 2011-2012 X5 SHOULD BE INCLUDED. BMW HAS BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND BMW IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX MY PROBLEM. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE HEARD THAT SALT AIR MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE, SO I WOULD EXPECT PEOPLE LIVING BY THE OCEAN WOULD GET TOP PRIORITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW X5. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

TAKATA RECALL: IT WILL BE A YEAR HERE SHORTLY SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND THIS AIRBAG IS NOT REPLACED. I KNOW THAT BMW CAME UP WITH ANOTHER AIRBAG FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AFTER I COMPLAINED. THERE MUST BE SOMEWAY TO FIX THIS SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. .I DO NOT WANT ANYONE IN MY CAR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. FYI THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2016 I WAS NOT SENT A NOTICE UNTIL JULY 2016, POOR NOTIFICATION. I AM SURE THIS LENGTH OF TIME QUALIFIES AS A FAILURE TO FIX IN REASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME.

TAKATA RECALL - DESPITE MULTIPLE REQUESTS AND PROMISES FOR OVER A YEAR, BMW HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. BMW CONTINUES TO PUSH THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE PARTS OUT.

FROM A STOP: UPON DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THERE IS A DELAY IN THE REACTION OF THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. AS IT MOVES, IT LUNGES FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE ADDED GAS SUDDENLY PROPELLING THE CAR. AS A RESULT, YOU CAN EITHER MOVE FORWARD EXTREMELY SLOW FROM THE START OR JUMP FORWARD PULLING YOU BACK INTO THE SEAT. ON THE HIGHWAY: OCCASIONALLY, SUDDEN INCREASED SPEED, AS NEEDED FOR PASSING, IS DENIED AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TRAVELS AT A CONTINUED STEADY SPEED. IF YOU'VE EVER MOVED INTO AN AVAILABLE LANE TO DISCOVER A SPEEDING VEHICLE CLOSING ON YOU RAPIDLY, YOU'LL GET ONE HELL OF A SCARE WHEN YOUR CAR FAILS TO MOVE FASTER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. BEEN THERE AND TURNED WHITE AS A GHOST. I HEARD ON THE RADIO IN MIAMI THAT THE NEED FOR THIS RECALL WAS KNOWN TO BMW BUT REPEATED REQUESTS TO BMW TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL HAVE GONE UNANSWERED EXCEPT THAT THE DEALERS DON'T HAVE NOTICE YET FROM BMW CORPORATE. NOTE: I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF BMW DEALERS AND CORPORATE IN 2011 AND PERIODICALLY SINCE WITH NO HELP. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEY NEVER MENTIONED IT ON ANY REPAIR ORDERS AND ONLY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR ADJUSTS TO THE MANNER IN WHICH INDIVIDUAL DRIVERS OPERATE THE CAR SO AS MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR PRIMARILY, I AS A SECONDARY DRIVER WOULD NEED TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE CAR TO ADJUST TO MY WAY OF DRIVING. IN 2015 MY WIFE BEGAN DRIVING A MASERATI FULL TIME AND I WAS RELEGATED TO THE X5. THE FAULTY ACCELERATION HAS NEVER CHANGED AND MY WIFE, SINCE 2015, HAS NOTICED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM WHERE B

NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM DRIVE SHAFT WHEN TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD.

TAKATA RECALL.......NO REMEDY YET, I HAVE BEEN WAITING NOW CLOSE TO 2 YEARS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS IN MY AREA, I'M TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN EITHER RECALL WILL BE FIXED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO PARTS.....GAS SMELL IN VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING , FUEL PUMP RECALL, HOWEVER, NO TIMETABLE FOR FIXING.

2011 BMW X5 35I XDRIVE - MY DRIVE SHAFT BROKE (VIOLENT BANGING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR) WHILE I WAS GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING ME TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT LANE BACK OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE. SUPER LUCKY THAT I BARELY MISSED HITTING THE CARS NEXT TO ME! I HAD HARDLY ANY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING WHILE I COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD / DITCH. I LOST ALMOST 7 QUARTS OF OIL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY ENGINE HAS A HOLE IN IT FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. THE MANUFACTURE WILL BE REPLACING MY ENGINE AND SOME HOSES THAT WERE DESTROYED. THE DEALER SAID THIS WASN'T A RECALL, JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SINCE WE HAVE APPROX. 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALER GAVE US A LOANER CAR TO USE UNTIL OUR CAR IS REPAIRED. MY CONCERN IS THAT OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY! HAD I KNOWN, I WOULD OF HAD MY CAR INSPECTED... NOW I'M OUT $325 DOLLARS FOR TOWING EXPENSES, A CAR THAT MIGHT NOT EVER BE QUITE THE SAME, LIVE 1HR 20 MINUTES FROM THE DEALER, AND THE MEMORY OF THE DRAMATIC EVENT.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I HEARD A LOUD FAN NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I DID A QUICK SYSTEMS CHECK TO SEE IF ALL SYSTEMS WERE OK- THEY WERE. ABOUT 1/10 OF A MILE LATER, MY CAR INDICATED THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING AND THAT I HAD REDUCED POWER. I COULDN'T DRIVE OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR. WITHIN THE NEXT 45 SECONDS, AS I'M GETTING ONTO AN INTERSTATE, MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND I LOSE ALL POWER. I NEVER HAD ANY WARNING AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL ENGINE TEMPERATURE ON THIS CAR. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED AND DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE THERMOSTAT, WATER PUMP AND EXPANSION TANK ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THAT ONE OF THESE ITEMS FAILED AND CAUSED THE OTHER TWO TO BREAK WITH EXTENDED USE. THIS COST ME $1990. THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING. I'VE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS.

TAKATA RECALL NOT YET REMEDIED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW X5. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 7 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE BELT BOLT. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER SIX MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS ALREADY PERFOMED AND COULD NOT BE REPEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000.

JANUARY 13, 2017, I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 BMW X5, WITH APPROXIMATELY 77,000 MILES, ON A TWO-LANE ROAD AND I ACCELERATED TO PASS A TRUCK. WHILE GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH MY X5 UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY REV WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS WAS WITHOUT ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR NOISE INDICATING CATASTROPHIC MECHANICAL FAILURE. THANKFULLY, I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO COMPLETE MY PASS BEFORE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC REACHED ME AND WE AVOIDED A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS COLLISION. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD HOPING TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. MOVEMENT OF THE SHIFTER DID NOTHING AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT IDLE SPEED. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE X5, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE STILL WORKING AND THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANY WARNING INDICATORS. THE TOWNE BMW SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $20,000. THE VEHICLE HAD AN ESTIMATED TRADE-IN VALUE $14,000! THIS OUTCOME IS AFTER I PROPERLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE FOR 6 YEARS, HAVING ALL OIL CHANGES DONE WITHIN THE MANUFACTURES SUGGESTED SERVICE INTERVALS. AND SPENT OVER $6,000 WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AT ON NOVEMBER 15, 2016. I EVEN HAD THE OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKETS REPLACED AT A COST OF $572 BASED ON THE TECHNICIAN'S RECOMMENDATION. IT IS UNFATHOMABLE TO ME AND OTHER PRO MECHANICS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

MY 2011 BMW X5 3.0 SAV WAS EXHIBITING ROUGH STARTS ON IGNITION AND IT STALLED AFTER A WHILE AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP AGAIN. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND THE VANOS SYSTEM WAS REPLACED( RECALL EXTENDED WARRANTY). THE NEXT TIME IT STALLED AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP WE WERE ADVISED IT WAS THE STARTER SO WE HAD THAT REPLACED( $1163.36) ALONG WITH THE BATTERY( $ 260) AND THEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULDN'T GO DOWN AND THE DASH BOARD LIGHTING WENT OUT AND THE ALARM WOULDN'T ENGAGE, THE DEALER ADVISED US THAT IT WAS A FOOTWELL MODULE PROBLEM COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY UNTIL 125,000 MILES. ALL IN ALL THE CAR IS RIGGED WITH PROBLEMS. I HAVE DECIDED TO LOOK UP ALL THE NHTSA RECALLS AND HAVE THEM DONE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE BREAKSDOWN. NHTSA HAS THE VEHICLE DOWN FOR BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS AND ALSO THE IN-TANK FUEL PUMP IN ADDITION TO ALL THE ONES I MENTIONED ABOVE.
