2019 BMW X5 complaints

While stopped in traffic on a freeway in fast lane, the vehicle was in the "stop/go" mode. When I pressed the accelerator, the engine failed to start. On multiple attempts engine would not start and I could smell electrical burn. The CHP was on site and we attempted to push the car to the side and out of the fast lane. However, since the engine would not start, there was no way to shift the car into Neutral gear. This is a design flaw and could lead a serious injury of fatality if the drive is stuck on the freeway and unable to move car. Even with Tow Truck, the car had to be dragged onto the truck bed. This is related to recall no. 25V-644. The recall should be elevated to "critical" status.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 30-40 MPH, the message “Low Engine Oil” and to pull over to avoid engine destruction was displayed. The driver pulled over. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the internal parts of the oil filter made of plastic had deteriorated. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be taken apart to replace the filter. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and covered half the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The shark fin is leaking and can’t be in rain or drive in rain bc it can cause wires to catch fire or shorten out. I have two babies that are at risk every time I drive this car. It’s my only way to go and BMW won’t fix it and I can’t afford to fix it bc it’s over 3 thousand dollars.

HVAC. Misty and mold smell from ac vent. Health concerns F or people with aasthma and respiratory health issues. All bmw of this year has this issue. Took it to dealer and got evporater cleaned vut smaell returns again in 2 months. Evaporator leak is very common. Most owners have had this issue fixed and repaired at $7k cost of out of warranty. BMW dealer ship admits issue with this year of bmw but declines to fix it for free. bMW itself ignores all the conversations bout it.

A concern regarding my BMW x5 it’s a 2019 x50i it’s my only vehicle that I have to get to and from work and drive my family around. I have been having starting issues at random times I can go a week no issues than randomly. My vehicle doesn’t want to start. Also, I have engine codes that are the same ones that apply to other recalls my starter is my main concern because it is an unsafe situation in certain circumstances because it’s happened at a light due to the auto stop switch I have to turn it off so that problem wouldn’t occur anymore because it also happened on the freeway during traffic that was a scary scenario when I had my family with me luckily it did turn on as I was steering out the way of traffic, I love the car unfortunately it is giving me safety concerns ,I seen there is a recall on NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V-576 subject : Starter Motor May Fail and Overheat according to this my vehicle meets all these criteria’s I need help with further assistance please if you can and thank you for your time.

My shark fin has water damage and can’t drive or be in rain and this is the only car I have to take my young kids back and forth to school and do my grocery shopping or whatever I need

I bought the car 8 months ago from Fred Anderson Acura in Greenville was told the car was inspected and serviced and I’m was in great condition. 8 months later I have 10 thousand worth safety issues wrong with the car that I have to fix .

Gas pedal broke while driving on the interstate causing driver to briefly lose control of car at the same time signal was lost from pedal to engine resulting in surge in the coolant system via ECm computer that blew radiator hose a moment after pedal broke. Pulled over and had car towed.

Water leaked into the Electric panel that controls the emergency call system & creates a malfunction.

Car wouldn't start anymore, starter malfunction. couldnt go into neutral

Cylinder Head Assembly- Valve Cover $4280.83 3. center console control panel $3051.93 4. transfer case replacement TBD 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i has multiple major component failures at 70,000 miles. Oil pump failed causing loss of oil-level monitoring. The cylinder head assembly was diagnosed with oil consumption, the transfer case exhibited driveline shuddering, and the center console control panel developed internal electrical faults that affect vital vehicle components. All have been diagnosed by BMW of North Haven, CT. The oil pump and transfer case failures have created potential loss of engine lubrication and vehicle control putting my safety at risk. The oil-level test aborts at 16% making it impossible to verify oil quantity or pressure while driving. The shuddering occurs during low-speed turns and acceleration. BMW North America reviewed my case and approved goodwill coverage for transfer-case fluid change ALL other safety-related repairs have been denied.

MY STARTER MOTOR OVERHEATED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND MY CAR INDICATED THE FLUIDS AND COMPONENTS WERE OVERHEATED - MY DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM WITH A VIDEO THEY SENT ME. IF I WAS STILL DRIVING THE CAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME MY DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND IN THE VEHICLE. i CALLED MY SERVICE REP AND THE DEALERSHIP IS LOOKING INTO IT AS MY VIN DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO LIGHTS WERE ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE CAR NOT STARTING. I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES. In MAY of this year, not even 6 months ago, they had to replace a "heat management module", which cost me $2500 and they said it is not related. They found 8 fault codes at a frequency of 255. The dealership is telling me this is not related, but I have a hard time believing that.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated that while attempting to cold-start the vehicle, the contact needed several attempts to start the vehicle. The contact stated that several times, the contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that while making several attempts to start the vehicle, the message "System Overheated - Restarting Engine Possible After Cooling" was displayed on the instrument cluster, and the contact had to wait 120 seconds before further attempts to restart the vehicle were possible. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by the dealer that there was a recall for the failure, NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V644000 (Electrical System), and the VIN was covered under the recall. However, the VIN tool showed no recall related to the VIN. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The electronic oil level sensor was unable to complete an oil level measurement on the iDrive screen. Diagnostic inspection at a BMW Dealership (Mt. Kiso) and EuroTech Auto Repair (Larchmont, NY) revealed that the oil pump had degraded internally, specifically due to failure of plastic components. All Sensors were working fine and showed no faults. This failure could not be detected by regular maintenance and posed a risk to engine reliability and potential sudden loss of lubrication. The car had approx 55,000 miles, was purchased purchased after my 3-year lease (original owner of new vehicle), and the incident occurred during normal use. There were no warning lights or symptoms before the oil measurement stopped working. This defect appears to be a design/materials issue affecting other similar vehicles. The failed oil pump has been replaced at my expense. I am concerned this part presents a broader safety and reliability risk and should be considered for recall.

I noticed one of my daytime running lights on the driver’s side laser headlight had turned yellow, instead of white like the others. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said that the LED module that powers that daytime running light has overheated and caused the light tube to burn and melt. The dealership advised that the passenger side is also slowly starting to do the same thing. The repair the dealership recommended is to replace both headlights, at a cost of almost $18k! I’ve seen numerous BMWs on the roads with this same issue, and this should be addressed by BMW as a design flaw. If these modules are burning plastic pieces inside the housing, they could start a fire if they get hot enough.

While driving down the Long Island Expressway at around 60 miles per hour, the retractable part of my panoramic sun roof shattered. It felt like an explosion. Luckily, the sunroof and cloth cover was fully extended so the glass didn't fall in the car. The traffic was light, no one in front of me and wasn't driving under any structure. There were no construction or debris on the road. It's clearly a manufacturer defect. Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Emergency Call System Failure!! My 2019 BMW x5 xdrive M50 has the failure from the Telematic Control Module like thousands of other people. This needs to be a recall and shouldn’t have to pay $1500-3000 out of pocket for something that is a manufacture problem. Apparently water gets in the shark fin area and causing the module to fail!

The oil pump contains a plastic housing that fractured during regular use. (Yes, I did retain the part for inspection and can include photos of the defect here). Yes, the problem has been confirmed by my mechanic and the general public with multiple posts and videos shared widely across the internet and in vehicle forums. This failure caused the engine to lose oil pressure abruptly. Had this occurred at highway speeds or in heavy traffic, it could have resulted in a serious accident. BMW is aware of the problem and has redesigned the oil pumps for all X5s starting in 2020. There is no real warning for this potential failure which would cause the engine to cease. The problem is most commonly diagnosed by checking the oil level via the I-Drive System electronically, (there is no dipstick for these cars). The oil level cannot be provided on the screen due to significant pressure fluctuations caused by the damaged oil pump- and that's how you know you're at risk of engine failure. There has been no recall for the 2019 vehicles. All 2019 BMWs with the B58 engine, (and the Toyota Supra), include this dangerous and expensive design flaw and I believe a recall should be issued; the majority of these cars are still on the road. I estimate the total number of cars to be 250,000 cars. My oil pump had to be replaced or the car would be rendered undriveable. The estimate from BMW dealership #1 exceeded $11,000; the estimate from BMW dealership #2 exceeded $8,000. The car has less than 70,

The automatic emergency braking is activating when nothing is on the road. It has happened three times in six months. Once in a drive thru, once in the middle of a clear intersection while moving at 30pmh and today while traveling at 35mph on a city street. The car acts as if it's attempting to prevent a forward collision. The red car icon displays and blinks on the instrument panel, fast beeps sound, the car hard brakes. It nearly caused the car behind me to rear end me today.

Car started hesitating to start then messaged popped up on screen saying my system was overheating I had to pay for a new starter.

Frequent Passenger Restraint System Issue

Recently purchased a 2019 BMW X5 xdrive40i with 77k miles, after only owning for 3 weeks after a heavy rain storm. My dash lit up with “Emergency call system malfunction”, upon review online it seems to be a common issue with these BMW models and no recall has been issued. The sos malfunction causes the vehicle not to function properly and unable to use the integrated idrive head unit system. It also dials emergency services on its own and won’t let me end call. After taking it to bmw dealership they found the telematics module battery to be low and suggested replacing. Previous owner had similar issue back in January of 2023 and the shark fin antenna by the roof was replaced , resealed and TCB telematics unit replaced. So only after 2 weeks of replacing the TCB battery, same issue appeared again after a heavy rain storm. I took it back to bmw for diagnose and they had to have one of there engineers test it and found out the actual sos button ecu system unit to have a short causing the sos malfunction and it dialing emergency services on its own. Vehicle is not driveable and has been at bmw they are trying to charge me additional $1,547.58 plus taxes and fees for the repair. I feel as if this is a defect on bmw and should be addressed and issued as an recall for there customers.

Known issue regarding failing oil pump in BMW B58 engines.

Starter failed at 48k miles. This is a known issue of starters failing early and a recall should be done for all impacted cars. Currently there is only a subset that are recalled for software program update to prevent burning out the starter, but the starter itself is failing, and recall should be issued for replacing the starter [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased a used BMW from a local dealership, unaware that the vehicle had unresolved safety and mechanical issues. Over time, I began experiencing repeated problems including: •Power loss and hesitation while driving •Malfunctioning engine and drivetrain components •Electrical system glitches including dashboard warnings that would disappear before I could document them The car has been in and out of shops for diagnostics, and no lasting fix has been found. These defects have created safety concerns for me and my children, as I transport them daily. The vehicle feels unsafe to operate. I believe I may have been sold a lemon and am now pursuing legal remedies, including this formal safety complaint to report the issue.

The emergency call warning on the dash was activated. GPS and Heads-up display no longer functioned correctly. BMW Dealership replaced TCB2 Box and battery at a cost of $2956.63. In researching this issue found numerous complaints from other owners. Contacted BMW and was told they were not responsible, car was out of warranty (4yr / 50,000 mi). This is an electronic component that is positioned in the least hostile environment of the vehicle. It has NO moving parts, is located in a dry / protected area (above the headliner), has NO knobs to turn / buttons to push / or screens to touch and is not subject to normal wear and tear. One of 2 things seem to be the case: This is a rare failure of this component - in which case I would think BMW and the manufacturer would be not only interested to investigate but also responsible. This is a regular failure of this component and since it is an integral part of the car's safety system BMW does not want to acknowledge a known defect.

Attached is a detailed description of my complaint. I'm attaching it because it is more than 2,000 characters.

My car said it overheated and would not start. After about 4 hours it did start and I took it to the dealer. They are saying that the battery and starter need replacement. I read that there was a recall for this exact reason on some specific VINs for my car model and year. Even though mine doesn't fall under that category it seems like the same issue that was recalled for others. Doing some online searches it seems this issue has happened to quite a few people.

I received a recall on my vehicle for an electrical update and was out of town when it malfunctioned. The vehicle would not start on the first try. Tried again and it immediately overheated, with smoke and a burning smell coming from the hood. It was towed to the dealership, and the starter and battery ended up needing to be replaced. I believe the failure of these parts was caused by the software issue that the recall was for. The dealership refused to compensate for the replacement of the battery and starter, claiming that it was not under the recall. When I reached out to corporate, they also refused to help. The car was at the dealership for a month, and the total cost of repairs was $2,200.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle failed to start as intended. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed alternator. The contact was informed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced an unknown recall repair; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,302.

While driving in the city, I came across a red light. When the light turned green, my car's engine shut off and the power steering turned off (unable to turn). The screen remained on but I could not start the car. This has only happened in the city when I am driving at a speed of up to 15 miles/hr. under comfort mode with the auto/stop feature on. This happened about 5 times on different dates where my car shut off but the screen was on. My car shut down in the middle of traffic, causing more traffic and an unsafe situation. Since then, I have turned off the auto/stop feature and have not yet encountered the problem again.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle hesitated to start immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the starter motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V576000 (Electrical System, Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was unknown.

The vehicle's electrical system experienced a starter malfunction, which led to a complete failure of the starter. As a result, the car would not start, ultimately causing the battery to fail as well. This failure posed a serious safety risk. I could have been left stranded in the middle of traffic, increasing the risk of a collision that could have caused injury to myself and others. If the malfunction had occurred in a remote location, I could have been left stranded, placing me in a potentially dangerous situation. The issue was confirmed by the dealership. Although there is an active NHTSA recall related to this exact problem, my vehicle’s VIN was not included. However, it should have been—my vehicle was manufactured during the affected production period and experienced the same failure described in the recall. As a result, I had to pay out of pocket for these substantial repairs. The manufacturer failed to include my VIN in the recall, despite clear evidence that my vehicle was subject to the same defect. The manufacturer inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the failure involved both the starter and the battery; however, I was required to pay out of pocket for the replacement of both components. There were no warning lights, error messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure—the vehicle simply stopped functioning without notice. Further research revealed that many other owners have reported the same starter malfunction, frequently resulting in battery failure and

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the starter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V576000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) as a possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,100.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH and attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the oil pressure failed after 20% usage. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the oil pump had failed, and there were plastic particles inside the oil pump. The contact was informed that the oil pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Vehicle Safety Complaint Report – BMW Engine Starter Failure Make: BMW Model: X5 xDrive40i Year: 2019 Mileage at Incident: ~40,000 km Component/System That Malfunctioned The engine starter system failed to function. Despite repeated attempts, the engine would not start. The vehicle showed no prior warnings or dashboard alerts before the failure. The part has not yet been replaced, and the car is unable to start still. Incident Description On a recent trip, while lined up at a ferry terminal waiting to board, our BMW X5 unexpectedly failed to start. There was no warning light or error code displayed. The car was completely unresponsive, despite repeated starting attempts. We were in the middle of the boarding line, blocking all vehicles behind us. We had to request assistance from ferry staff, who helped tow the car to a parkade. This incident led to the cancellation of our trip, caused significant stress and public disruption, and exposed us to serious safety and liability risks. We immediately contacted BMW roadside assistance, who were unable to diagnose the issue remotely and only suggested continued restart attempts, which were ineffective. We recently learned of NHTSA Recall 24V-576, issued on August 1, 2024, by BMW of North America. The recall involves the engine starter in 2019–2020 BMW X5 models, due to engine no-start issues and potential electrical overloads that can result in a thermal event. While our vehicle matches the make, model, and year, we were informed by

Vehicle has been vibrating at low speeds when turning or when backing up. Took vehicle to BMW dealership (BMW of Nashville in Franklin, TN) multiple times during the past 18 months without resolution. On my visit for the same issue this month, dealership finally recognized the issue and said there was a BMW bulletin out about the issue SIB 27 02 20. It is very frustrating that 1. The dealership kept stalling and despite test driving the car with me and feeling the vibration, they kept blaming tires or saying it was normal while the bulletin about the issues was generated in 05.20.2020 2. It cost me over $627 for them to change the transfer case oil to diagnose and repair the issue. I am still in the testing phase after the transfer case oil change as the vehicle needs to be driven 300+ miles. The dealership and BMW should issue a recall since it is a know issue that the wrong oil was used in the manufacturing process and reimburse the cost charged for diagnostic and transfer case oil replacement. The vehicle is furthermore still under warranty so I should not be paying anything for diagnostics or repairs.

I have a 2019 BMW X5 that experienced engine failure and required a new battery and starter to be installed. I feel certain that it is related to a recall on some 2019/2020 models but my vin is not included. [XXX] I received a fault warning for drivetrain malfunction. I took the car to the bmw dealership and was told it was an upper radiator blind failure and had it replaced. The dealership performed a software update per recall SIB 120524. The mileage was 36,981. While visiting family in New Orleans[XXX] @ [XXX] in the afternoon, on Decatur (heart of French Quarter) the car died in the middle of rush hour traffic. Fault came up that said ”engine overheat will attempt restart in 180 sec.” Car would not start and had to be towed to local BMW. Highly stressful as I was with my daughter. We had people honking horns, screaming at us, police threatening to ticket us, etc. ordeal lasted 2 hrs until tow arrived. After 4 days in the BMW shop I was advised a new battery was needed. No indication the starter was checked at this time. Mileage was 40,168. The next day [XXX] when driving home to Dallas I pull over to get gas in Natchitoches, La. I fill up and try to start car and failure notice shows up ”engine overheat will attempt restart in 180 sec”. Same thing as before new battery installed. The car did not restart even after an hr of waiting. Would not take a jump so we had to be towed to Shreveport(1 1/2 hrs away) to closest BMW dealership. I was traveling with My son and was beyon

I bought this car brand new and a couple of weeks after purchasing it, I would notice a creaking noise and/or a slight bump when I would put on the brakes. I have a lot of paperwork where I contacted the dealer to tell them about this noise over the years. They continued to tell me they didn’t hear or feel anything when I would take it in to be checked. I even had one of their mechanics to get in the car with me, so I could point it out. He told me that was normal. Over the years they said things like the brakes are cold and just have to warm up or that the sound was the auto hold and was designed that way, along with other opinions. It’s continued to get louder over the years and it bumps when you reverse the car or if you cut the wheel far. Now, they’re saying it’s the chassis and a thrust arm needs to be repaired. This was a defect from the beginning and I have the paperwork to show that I contacted them repeatedly about it.

As my vehicle has an electronic oil level check system, I am unable to check my oil level. It gets to around 20% and then stops checking. As per my research, this is due to the oil pump on this particular model year that causes pressure fluctuations and results in this issue. It is unsafe to drive my vehicle as I am unable to check the oil level.

Vehicle didn’t move after coming to a full stop at a traffic light. And it displayed a message stating the starter has overheated and that it needed to cool down. The timer for the cooldown period kept on increasing up to 180 seconds and consequent attempts to start the vehicle after the cooldown period didn’t help.

The starter motor overheats when the vehicle tries to start. The car does not always start. You can smell the starter burning. I have had the BMW dealership confirm that the starter is overheating and needs to be replaced. 2 independent mechanics witnessed this happen to my vehicle and confirmed as well. Other 2019 BMW X5 vehicles have been recalled for this exact issue and the fire hazard this causes. But not all X5’sfall under the recall - even though when reading through forums many many 2019 X5 owners have vehicles that are not named in the recall but are having this same exact problem. This is a family vehicle and is proving a fire hazard for my family, including my [XXX] son. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Emergency call malfunction light came on. System is an important vehicle safety features. Vehicle taken to dealership for inspection. No visual damage present on vehicle however water ingress from roof shark fin is causing damage to electrical components, TCB and emergency call function. Shark fin antenna cover determined to be causing water ingress after inspection by BMW dealership. Per their recommendation, further water ingress could damage additional electrical components, some critical and therefore immediate need to replace TCB, Aerial antenna, and emergency battery. Vehicle warranty not covering this type of issue. Cost of repair estimated at $2500.

We experienced a serious malfunction in our vehicle’s emergency call system and Bluetooth connectivity, which began immediately after the shark fin cover fell off. This issue appears to be a known defect, as numerous reports suggest that water intrusion through the exposed area can cause damage to the emergency communication system and GPS functionality. This is a major safety concern, as it compromises critical emergency features and wireless connectivity, impacting the vehicle’s overall functionality. Despite this being a design flaw, the dealership is charging us over $5,000 for repairs, which is an unreasonable burden for a defect that should have been properly sealed and protected during manufacturing. For the safety of all drivers, this defective shark fin assembly must be recalled, redesigned, and properly sealed to prevent further failures. We urge the manufacturer to take immediate action to address this safety hazard.

I have a 2019 BMW x5. My starter failed and I got a notification at the same time through my BMW app that there was a safety recall "RE: Recall 24V-576: Engine Starter – B12 05 24". The recall instructs the dealer that the Correction is "DME software update that will prevent the engine starter from being overloaded". This is all fine. It then gives the instruction "Note: Some vehicles may also be affected by the following technical campaign: 0012240600 Check and, if necessary, replace starter motor Please ensure that, if possible, both technical actions are processed at the same time." My issue is that the initial Recall is the clear issue causing the starter failure and they have acknowledged this in the technical campaign following. However, my vehicle's VIN is not included in the technical campaign that instructs them to replace the starter even though it was their negligence which caused the failure which they have acknowledged. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? No I paid to have the starter replaced. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Me and my vehicle were left stranded, sometimes In the road due to auto start, multiple times. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, by the dealer. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, inspected by the dealer. Were there any

I received an Important Safety Recall notice indicating that a manufacturing defect could cause my vehicle to catch fire. I brought the car to New Country BMW in Hartford, CT to have this corrected and was advised that I would be charged $2,200 to replace the "TCB" in order to address the safety recall. This does not seem right to charge me to correct a safety defect mandated by NHTSA. The vehicle is owned by and registered to Slade & Company, LLC. Please advise.
