Consumer Description

IT APPEARS THAT THE BMW X5 35I HAS THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSFER CASE ON A HUGE NUMBER OF THE VEHICLES. WHILE THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VIN #'S I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE TO EXTEND IT TO ALL OF THEM. MY X5 HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS EXPIRED BECAUSE OF MILEAGE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH NOTICE WHEN IT GOES OUT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH. DOES BMW OR THE NATIONAL SAFETY ADMINISTRATION REALLY WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ? I THINK NOT ONLY MY VIN # NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED BUT ALL BMW 2011-2012 X5 SHOULD BE INCLUDED. BMW HAS BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
