Consumer Description

Emergency call system malfunction error on the dash. The SOS system is not working nor the GPS or any associated ContactedDrive services as the Internet is failed too. This is dangerous to have nonworking SOS in case of an emergency. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON X7 but yet no recall from BMW. The reason of this failure is believed to be faulty installation of shark fin antenna from the BMW factory. Its not sealed properly and water can get inside damaging the TCB unit (corroded or shorted the pcba ) This repair is costing users estimated $3k-$4k if car is just out side of warranty. I believe thousands are affected by this fault that originated at BMW’s factory. I believe in you to do the right thing. Please help. I cannot afford this expensive repair. Expecting - BMW should issue a voluntary recall or at the very least conduct the repair on my vehicle.
