Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE SHAKES, RUNS ROUGH AND TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN BRAKING/STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO BMW NAPLES AND ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP. THEY REQUESTED I HAVE A TUNE UP AND REPLACE TWO SENSORS WHICH I HAVE DONE. THOUSAND OF DOLLARS LATER AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR BMW X5. *TR
