2007 BMW 328I Unknown Or Other Problems

We where sitting in our car me my wife and our 6 month old son it was running and out of no where lots of smoke started coming out from under the hood I didn't know what it was so I turned the car off got my wife and son out and away from the car then I opened the hood and soon as I did all I could see was flames I ran and got water and started throwing it on the fire till it was out this was the only car we had now it is ruined we missed our sons doctors appointment and I have not been able to make it to work

LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE USE CENTRAL SYSTEM, REMOTE SYSTEM NOR THE MANUAL PULL HANDLE INSIDE NOR THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. STATIONARY, HAVE REPLACED FUSES AND MANUALLY ENGAGED THE ACTUATOR. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IF A CHILD OR ELDERLY ADULT IN CARE DURING A WRECK, FIRE ETC.

SHUTTERS ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER COILS REPLACED. ENGINE LINE COMES ON AND MISFIRES. WIRING ALL MESSED UP ESPECIALLY HEADLIGHTS AND SEATS. ABS LIGHT WON'T GO OFF.

I AM HAVING A NO START, NO CRANK PROBLEM, NEW BATTERY, REMOVE STARTER, CHECKED OK, FUSES, OK. REPAIR CABLE BUT CODE SILL APPEAR, MONTH LATER N START OR CRANK. THIS WEEK BROUGHT NEW CABLE IT DETONATED. HAD CAR TOWED AND NOW AT HOME. OWNED THIS CAR SINCE JULY 2018 AND TOTALLY UPSET. THIS IS MY SECOND BMW AND I LOVE IT. I AM NO SURE BUT I BELIEVE THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE I BROUGHT IT.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2018. OVER A MONTH AGO , MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE WHILE IDLED AT STOP LIGHT AND WOULD EASE UP WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. MY ENGINE WAS SHAKING SO BADLY THAT I COULD FEEL IT WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE PETAL. MY ROOMMATE HEARD THE SQUEALING NOISE FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE AND CAME OUT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. ENTIRE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AS IF SOMETHING WAS NOT ON PROPERLY. HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME SINCE WHILE COMING BACK FROM WORK. SECOND MAJOR ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK MONDAY MORNING - I WAS MAKING A SEMI SHARP RIGHT TURN OFF RUFFIN MILL ROAD IN CHESTER AND MY 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON' LIGHT IMMEDIATE CAME ON AND THE CAR WENT FROM 35MPH TO 0 - MY CAR...

DRIVER SIDE LIGHT CONTINUE TO GO OUT...SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON START UP PERIODICALLY SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC PULLED OVER TO TURN TURNED THE CAR OFF . NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM CENTER CONSOLE...RANDOM WARNING LIGHT INDICATED ON DISPLAY. CAR KEEPS JUMPING INTO LAG MODE.

STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED AND WILL NOT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR LESS THAN A MILE. THEN IT WENT UP IN FLAMES. NOT TOTALLY SURE WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT I SEE THAT THERE ARE TWO SAFETY RECALLS/ALERTS POSTED IN OCT 2010 THAT COULD RESULT IN THIS. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS CAR WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND WE CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM IF WE HAD KNOWN IT EXISTED.

WHILE I'M DRIVING IT POPPED UP A RED STEERING WHEEL/PADLOCK SYMBOL AT THE MESSAGE CENTER, STILL DRIVES WITH NO ISSUES. I'M CONCERNED IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE BACK HOME, IT'S ABOUT ONE HOUR DRIVE.

WHY DRIVING MY CAR IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STOPPED. I HAD TO MANEUVER MY CAR OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY BUT I DROVE MAYBE ANOTHER MILE AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I PANICKED TURNED AROUND AND DROVE BACK HOME. I WILL.BE AT THE DEALERSHIP IN MONTGOMERY, AL FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING 10/31/2016.

VEHICLE IS LOOSING POWER BETWEEN 45-55 MILES AND STEERING WHEELS BECOMES HARD TO TURN ON 7/1/16 JACKSON,MS ON NORTHVIEW DRIVE, SAME PROBLEM 7/10/17 MOBILE,AL AND 7/16/16 BEACH BLVD. JACKSONVILLE, FL AND ONCE BREAKING AT A STOP (REDLIGHT OR STOP SIGN) IT SHUTS DOWN IN TRAFFIC. CAR MUST BE PUT IN PARK AND CRANKED TO RESTART. ISSUE UNKNOWN AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT STAY ON IN BIG CONJESTIONS OF TRAFFIC, I AM SCARED OF A CRASH. THERE ARE ALREADY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FROM THE NATIONAL DATA BASE.

CAR IS SHAKING.

SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND HE BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON A FEW TIMES. THE FINAL TIME AFTER DRIVING FROM CONNECTICUT TO QUEENS NY, I WAS IN A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF FROM THE AIRPORT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING. EVENTUALLY ALL POWER WAS LOST. I HAD TO HAVE CAR PUSHED OUT IF THE DRIVING AND ON TO THE STREET. ALSO TO NOTE EARLIER I WAS CHARGING MY CELL PHONE, BUT IT STOPPED CHARGING. I WENT AND PURCHASE A NEW CHARGED (USB ADAPTOR) WHICH DID NOT WORK EITHER, BUT WORKED WHEN I HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE TOW TRUCK PERSON WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED WITH A JUMP, AND INDICATED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I REVIEWED THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM...
