NHTSA Complaint #10967080 — 2016 BMW X5

UPON FIRST SERVICE, BASED UPON WHIRRING NOISE IN FRONT OF CAR, SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE BADLY CUPPED ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE EDGES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A SECOND SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT THE BMW X5 WITH THE SPORTS PACKAGE NATURALLY CUPPED THE FRONT TIRES AND MOST PEOPLE CHOOSE TO REPLACE THE TIRES BEFORE 18000 MILES DUE TO NOISE. THIS IS AN 80,000+ DOLLAR CAR. DOES THAT SEEM NORMAL, OR ACCEPTABLE. BMW'S ONLY RESPONSE AFTER SEVERAL CONTACTS WAS TO HAVE A LADY FROM PUBLIC RELATIONS CALL ME AND TELL ME BMW WASN'T GOING TO PAY ANYTHING. I NEVER ASKED THEM TO PAY ANYTHING. IF THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE, IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. KNOWING THEY HAVE PRODUCED A CAR THAT WITH THE SPORTS PACKAGE EXCESSIVELY WEARS TIRES, EXPENSIVE TIRES, MEANS THEY SHOULD NOT PUT THE SPORTS PACKAGES ON THE X5, 50I. SINCE BMW REFUSES TO EVEN RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEMS, WHERE SHOULD I TURN? ONE DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO SELL BE TWO FRONT TIRES FOR $700, BUT SHOULD I HAVE TO BUY THEM. WE'RE TALKING NEW TIRES EVERY 15-18000 MILES.
