AIR BAGS
PASSENGER RESTRAINT WARNING - APPARENTLY THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED. A QUICK SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMW PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE, BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS MY 2008 BMW 750LI WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (ONLY 2006-2007 BMW 750LI'S). THIS CAR WAS BUILT USING THE SAME PARTS. SHOULDN'T IT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LIST? APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT PEOPLE ARE BUILDING "SENSOR BYPASS" DEVICES AND SELLING THEM ON AMAZON/EBAY TO PLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS INTO "ALWAYS ON" MODE. THIS KLUGE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A VERY SAFE SOLUTION, SINCE SMALL CHILDREN COULD BE INJURED BY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IF IT DEPLOYED UNNECESSARILY. DEALER HAS QUOTED NEARLY $1,400 FOR A FIX. BYPASS SOLUTION LESS THAN $100. SEEMS ONE HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN RELATIVE SAFETY OR NOT BLOWING THE SAVINGS FUND. ALL TO REPAIR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW.

AIR BAGS
THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. AFTER FIXING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, THE DRIVE SIDE AIR BAG FAULTY LIGHT CAME ON. MY SERVICE ADVISER ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM WHICH I DID AND AFTER FEW DAYS THEY CALLED ME TO PICK UP THE CAR WITHOUT FIXING IT UNLESS I PAY FOR PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THE FAULTY LIGHT. ESTIMATED COST $4,000.00.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO I BEGAN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY FILLING UP WITH GAS AT THE PUMP, AS FOLLOWS: AFTER FILLING 1-5 GALLONS IN THE NORMAL MANNER, THE THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF INDICATING THAT MY GAS TANK IS FULL, WHEN IN FACT I'VE HARDLY PUMPED ANY GAS AT ALL. I WITHDRAW THE NOZZLE, REINSERT IT AND BEGIN TO PUMP AGAIN. THE PUMP CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF AFTER PUMPING VERY LITTLE GAS. THIS PROCESS MUST BE REPEATED 10-15 TIMES TO FILL UP THE TANK. BESIDES IRRITATING, IT'S UNSAFE AS I NO LONGER HAVE A RELIABLE INDICATION THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND I SHOULD STOP PUMPING. THIS LEADS TO OVERFILLING SOMETIMES, WHERE GAS SPILLS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR, ONTO THE PAVEMENT, AND ONCE ONTO MY PANTS. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I USE OR HOW EMPTY THE TANK IS. THE BMW DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR SAYS THERE IS A VALVE IN THE TANK THAT MUST BE REPLACED AT MY COST ($2,500). I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2010 BMW 750LI BACK IN NOVEMBER 2012. AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE BEVERLY HILLS BMW LOT, I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO OFF. BEVERLY HILLS WROTE IT OFF AS IT WAS THE GAS SENSOR BEING SENSITIVE. FOUND OUT LATER IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS THAT WENT BAD ON A CAR WITH 23,000 MILES ON. FAST FORWARD 2 YEARS LATER AND 30,000 MILES, WITH MULTIPLE STOPS AT STERLING BMW AND MY COMPLAINTS OF HAVING TO PUT QUART OF OIL INTO THE ENGINE EVERY 2000 MILES. FOR 2 YEARS, STERLING ADVISED ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF ENGINE TO CONSUME THAT MUCH OIL AND FOR ALL THE OTHER ENGINE PROBLEMS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR OVER 6 TIMES (EVER OTHER MONTH ALMOST) TO THE DEALER TO FIX NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE (NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR). THEN COMES THE "RECALL" BMW CALLS THE "COMFORT CARE PACKAGE" AND WAS PROMISED IT WOULD RESOLVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE IN JANUARY 2015. AFTER THE RECALL, MY ENGINE REQUIRED OIL EVERY 500 MILES AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO BMW IN APRIL 2015, THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A HOSE LEAK AND OIL WAS DRIPPING DOWN TO EXHAUST CAUSING EXCESS SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. NOW BMW OF NORTHERN AMERICA TELLS ME THEY DON'T COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUR OF WARRANTY DESPITE MY COMPLAINTS (WHICH HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY STERLING FOR 2 YEARS). THE COMFORT CARE PACKAGE MADE MY OIL LEAK WORST AND INTO THE EXHAUST AND BMW REFUSES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OR EVEN REMOVE THEIR COMFORT CARE PACKAGE. IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 2 YEARS SINCE I AND MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN THIS EXCESS SMOKE FROM MY EXHAUST WHICH BMW REFUSES TO REPAIR. THIS ENGINE IS A COMPLETE LEMON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE HAS A DRIVERS SIDE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH LEAVING THE DOOR TO OCCASIONALLY NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY OPEN. THIS IS A CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENT THAT IS NOT SERVING ITS PURPOSE CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL OR INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. DUE TO EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN MY VEHICLES NAVIGATION/AUDIO COMPONENTS ARE INOPERABLE. LEAKAGE OF FLUID FROM THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC SHOCK DOWN ONTO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS RESULTED IN WIRING SYSTEM PROBLEMS THAT MAY RESULT IN FIRE AND OR LOSS OF LIGHTING. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE WITH THE MOST ATTENTIVE AND PRESTIGIOUS SERVICE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT I AM HAVING THESE SAFETY AND POOR DESIGN PROBLEMS DUE TO BMW DEFECTS AND FLAWS. LAST WEEK I CALLED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THESE 2 SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO BY BMW SERVICE CENTER FOR INSPECTION AND CONTACT THEM UPON DOING SO. YESTERDAY I CONTACTED THEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO FORWARD THE DIAGNOSIS/ACTION PLAN AND TO MY SURPRISE NOT ONLY WAS I REFUSED THE RIGHT TO FORWARD THE PAPERWORK BUT WAS ALSO REFUSED ANY REMEDY BY BMW. *TR

IF YOU TAKE OFF SLOWLY FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION, WHILE SWITCHING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR, WILL PROPEL THE CAR FORWARD ABRUPTLY CREATING A LOUD METALLIC SOUND LIKE GEARS SLAMMING INTO EACH OTHER (IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FAULT). THE TRANSMISSION WILL STAY IN EITHER GEAR UNTIL YOU STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AS LONG AS YOU SPEED THROUGH THE GEARS, THIS WILL NEVER OCCUR. SAD TO THINK YOU HAVE DRIVE IRRESPONSIBLE TO PREVENT TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A BMW TECHNICIAN WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS BEING A BAD TRANSMISSION, DRIVE SHAFT AND GUIBO JOINT. AFTER 2-YEARS OF LEARNING TO POWER THROUGH THE GEARS, MY BAD TRANSMISSION WORKS FINE, DRIVE SHAFT AND GUIBO JOINT ARE UNAFFECTED AND CHALK UP ANOTHER DEFECTIVE GUIBO JOINT BLAMED FOR UNNECESSARY REPAIRS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS THIS WILL DISABLE A CAR DURING TAKE OFF CAUSING MULTIPLE SAFETY ISSUES IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, SEAT BELTS
MY NAME IS [XXX]. I WAS TURNING OFF OF FRONTAGE RD ONTO NORTHSIDE DR SLOWLY AND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE FELL RIGHT INTO A HUGE POTHOLE WHICH BLEW MY TIRE COMPLETELY OUT. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME HAVING TO GET A BRAND NEW TIRE DUE TO THE STREETS OF JACKSON,MS. THE 1ST TWO TIMES I WAS UPSET BUT, AS USUAL, DID NOT BE A BABY ABOUT IT BUT WENT ON TO GET MY CAR FIXED ON MY OWN. THIS TIME, I AM EXTREMELY UPSET, AND AM VERY TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON MY CAR WHEN THE ONLY DAMAGE COMES FROM THIS CITY. ALSO, MY CAR MADE A SMALL SQUEAKING NOISE AFTERWARDS AND A SEATBELT WARNING IS ON IN MY DASHBOARD. PARTS FOR MY CAR ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE TIRE ALONE IS ENOUGH. I WAS NOT SPEEDING OR DRIVING WRECKLESS AND I CANNOT CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES CAUSED FROM THE STREETS. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME AND TALK TO ME, OR IF I COULD PERSONALLY TALK TO SOMEONE, I WOULD GLADLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
