FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'VE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES INVOLVING THE FUEL PUMP/INJECTORS. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE SAME DEALER. THE COST HAS EXCEEDED 3500.00 IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN, DEALER INDICATES FUEL INJECTORS ARE THE PROBLEM, ANOTHER 1989.00 TO GET THE CAR FIX. I BELIEVE THIS IS TOO MUCH $ FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR A 3 YEAR PERIOD. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN CALLING BMW FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RECALL SINCE MARCH OF 2016 YET EVERY TIME I CALL THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE AND IT SHOULD BE SOON. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE MARCH AND IT IS NOW ALMOST NOVEMBER. I AM JUST CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR KNOWING THAT MY AIRBAG MAY POTENTIALLY THROW METAL SHARP METAL IF I WAS TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I THINK ITS UNFAIR TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR NOT FEELING SAFE. I REALLY JUST WISH THEY CAN GET A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM WITHIN A TIMELY MATTER. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THE SAME THING SINCE MARCH AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL BE SOLVED ANY TIME SOON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS TURNING ON TO A HIGHWAY, AS I ACCELERATED TO MATCH THE SPEED OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MERGE, THE ENGINE POWER ABRUPTLY DEGRADED. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE LANE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD A FLASHING SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND WAS NOT PRODUCING ANY POWER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO PARK AVE. BMW IN NJ. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE WITH A FAILED DME (ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER OR ECU) AT LESS THAN 60K. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND MANY OTHERS BMW N54 ENGINE OWNERS ONLINE WHO HAD ENCOUNTERED THE SAME DME FAILURE. IT TURNS OUT AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT THAT COSTS A COUPLE OF CENTS WAS PREMATURELY FAILING. THIS WAS KNOWN TO BMW IN 2007 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SOLD. THE BMW SERVICE BUILTIN SI B 12 18 07 CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN UNEXPECTED FAILURE AND IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE DIODE. FURTHER MORE THE ISSUE CAN DAMAGE COILS AND FUEL INJECTORS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. REPLACING COILS, INJECTORS, AND THE DME CAN EXCEED $5000. FURTHER MORE BMW CHOSE NO TO BE PROACTIVE AND REPLACE THE COMPONENT, INSTEAD THEY PUT PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK, AT BEST THEIR BENEFITING FROM THEIR OWN LACK OF QUALITY.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA INFLATORS ARE DEFECTIVE. I RECEIVED A LETTER SEVEN MONTHS AGO FROM BMW IN MARCH 2016 INFORMING ME OF A RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER NOTICE AS TO WIN THESE REPAIRS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. BMW SHOULD HAVE TO COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR THEIR FLAWED AND DANGEROUS DESIGN. AS THIS CAR IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE NO CHOICE THAN TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH SAFETY FEATURES THAT COULD ACTUALLY INCREASE MY RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WARRANTS FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FROM BMW. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION - NOTICE STARTED POPPING UP AT RANDOM NOW IS ON ALL THE TIME WITHOUT A PASSENGER. HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON ALL BMW SPORTS SEATS FROM YEARS 2006 AND 2008, NOTICING COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2012 ISSUES POSTED ONLINE AS WELL. PREVIOUS ISSUE WAS FOR A CRACKED SENSOR IN THE SEAT. NOT HAPPY THAT BMW HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOT REVIEW POSSIBLE REOCCURRENCE IN NEWER MODELS THEN 2008.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON WOODALL ROGERS FWY IN DALLAS, WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO BMW. THEY SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A PREVIOUS RECALL ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP AND GAVE ME A $3,000 QUOTE. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED A WATER PUMP AND OTHER ITEMS. HOWEVER, THE RECALL INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN READING DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. WHENEVER I DRIVE MY CAR NOW AND I ACCELERATE, IT STILL GIVES ME AN ENGINE WARNING AND STARTS SHAKING. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS "SUFFERING" FROM THE WATER PUMP ISSUE.
