Consumer Description

AT 75K MILES MY BMW X5 BEGAN SHUTTERING WHILE MAKING SHARP, SLOW TURNS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE NEW TIRES WE PUT ON. THEN THE STUTTERING HAPPENED WHEN COMING TO A STOP, AS WELL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT HAS BEEN SERVICED ALL ALONG AND THEY SAID THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REALLY, AT 75K MILES. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THE ITEM I FOUND THAT THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL WAS A RECALL. OBVIOUSLY, BMW DID NOT FIX THE ITEM ON THE 2012 THAT I OWN. A FAULTY TRANSFER CASE IN THE X5 CAN CAUSE LOSS OF DRIVE AND THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH IF THE OCCUPANTS ARE ON A FREEWAY OR IN AN INTERSECTION ETC WHERE THEY ARE STUCK. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HOLD THE MANUFACTURERS ACCOUNTABLE.
