ON JULY 31ST 2017, THE BOLT SECURING IDLER PULLEY AND ALTERNATOR SHEARED. BATTERY CHARGE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER STEERING. LOOKING AT MY SERVICE RECORD, I SEE THAT THIS SAME BOLT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL IN JANUARY 2013 WHEN CAR WAS AT 12332 MILES. THE CAR IS NOW AT 63456. ALSO NOTED ON BMW OWNERS WEB SITE THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS E70 SERIES DESIGN HAVE HAD THE SAME REPEAT PROBLEM. BMW DEALER IN CT PERFORMED THE LATEST REPAIR AND OFFERED NO EXPLANATION, EXCEPT THAT THEIR WORK IS GUARANTEED FOR 2 YEARS. ORIGINAL RECALL PERFORMED BY DEALER IN RALEIGH NC WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW HAS ADVISED ME TO POST THIS REPORT AND CALL BMWNA. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM, BUT FIRST DISCUSSION WAS NOT GOOD. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECORD OF THIS AS A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY ASSURANCES THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I NOTE THAT THE PART NUMBER OF THE NEW BOLT JUST INSTALLED IS THE SAME AS THE OLD BOLT INSTALLED IN 2013. WE WERE VERY LUCKY NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND WITHOUT SOME CLEAR ASSURANCES THAT BMW UNDERSTAND HOW TO FIX THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR. AT THE TIME OF THE BOLT FAILURE WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 20MPH THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE TOWN OF STRATFORD CT AND JUST MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD INTO A TRAIN STATION PARKING LOT.

SCR CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE AND NOX SENSOR FAILURE IN DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEM ON A 54,1XX MILE VEHICLE -- MUCH TOO EARLY FOR THESE SYSTEMS TO FAIL . THE SYSTEM ALERTED ME OF A "EXHAUST FLUID INCORRECT" CEL WITH A 200 MIL COUNT DOWN TIMER. THIS COUNT DOWN TIME RENDERS THE VEHICLE IMMOBILE IF YOU DO NOT BRING IT INTO THE BMW DEALER WITHIN THIS MILEAGE. THIS COUNT DOWN TIMER COULD HAVE LEFT ME LITERALLY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE IF I WERE TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON ANY ROAD TRIP OR EXTENDED TRAVEL. I BELIEVE IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL THAT BMW CAN DISABLE YOUR VEHICLE ON AN EMISSION RELATED ISSUE POTENTIALLY LEAVING YOU STRANDED. YES, I WOULD HAVE (AND HAVE) BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR -- IMMOBILIZING THE VEHICLE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED AND IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME AND MY FAMILY HARM. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD AND A 3 MONTH OLD THAT COULD HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY NOW.

2012 BMW X5 WHICH WAS PURCHASED AS CERTIFIED ON DECEMBER 31,2015.. PUT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY YOUNG SON IN DANGER AND SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE INVESTIGATED AND A "FIX' NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED BEFORE LIFE THREATENING INJURY OCCURS TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

I HAD TRUCKS BEHIND ME THAT DID NOT KNOW I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. THESE TRUCKS WERE BEHIND ME AND COULD NOT STOP THAT QUICKLY AND OUR SAFETY WAS IN DANGER AS THEY WERE LIKELY TO REAR END MY CAR. ALSO, MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN TO 40 MPH WHEN THE ROAD WENT UPHILL. I HAD BEEN IN THE CENTER LANE WHEN I GOT THE WARNING SO I HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE RIGHT LANE WHERE TRAFFIC WAS GOING TO THE POSTED 55-60 MPH SPEED LIMIT. I WAS THEN ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 1 YEAR SINCE RECALL HAPPENED FOR MY VEHICLE, AND AFTER REPEATED CONTACTS WITH THE DEALER, THEY ARE STILL NOT REPLACING MY AIR BAG!

I RECEIVED AN INTIAL LETTER BACK ON 2/5/16 THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A YEAR AND ALL I RECEIVE IS LETTERS LETTING ME KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL. I THINK THAT THE STATEMENT "EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE COULD CAUSE RUPTURE...RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS...POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH", IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED IN A MORE REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. OVER A YEAR IS TOO LONG AND I BELIEVE THAT BMW NEEDS TO MAKE AN ALTERNATE PLAN IF THIS IS NOT/OR CAN'T BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I TAKE/PICK UP MY AND OTHER'S CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS AND REQUIRE THE USE OF THE FRONT SEAT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE KNOWING THAT THIS BMW'S SAFETY EQUIPTMENT IS NOT SAFE. IN THE LATEST LETTER I RECEIVED IT STATED THAT IF BMW WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME TO NOTIFY THE NHTSA - THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING.
