There was a recall back in October 2024 and there still is no remedy as of yet and it can cause a fire risk.
My car has a water pump recall and BMW notified me on August 13. BMW said they will send a letter out to take my car in to service by October 4th 2024. I called BMW and they sent a letter out saying they still don't have a remedy for my car yet. It's been 5 months and still haven't fixed my car yet and when I call they still don't have an answer. I am highly upset. It shouldn't take this long.
Several warning lights flashed on and off while driving. My display/computer turned off and rebooted while driving. A day or two later the electric rear hatch stopped working. I opened the cover in the back where the spare is, and found several inches of water (4-5) in the well. I called the dealer first thing since it was a frightening thought thinking the car may blow up or trigger the airbag making me (or whoever is driving the car) crash into someone else. To my surprise there was no warning or recall on the problem. A surprise since a simple google search turned up pages of complaints, chat rooms and discussions concerning the same issue. This is where the battery is stored in this car. The battery was sitting in inches of water even though it is slightly elevated. The control module for the electric hatch (according to a schematic...
No oil change or engine light on dash. Passed state emissions test with no indicator lights on weeks ago. Engine timing chain malfunction. A warning light displayed once the engine stopped my vehicle. Also, pressed SOS button for 911 after vehicle stopped right off highway and stopped mid intersection, but learned it doesn’t work after 5G towers upgraded.
driver seat will not move forward <driver restraint system malfunction, computer keep restarting while driving and SOS keep popping on the computer
OUR PARKED BMW X3 WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY TURNED OFF WHEN IT SUDDENLY BURST INTO FLAMES AND ALSO CAUGHT OUR HOUSE ON FIRE AND OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. NO ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON AND WE REGULARLY SERVICE OUR CAR ONLY WITH CERTIFIED BMW MECHANICS. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BURNT TO THE GROUND. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE X3 HAS CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT DOWN SOMEONE'S HOME AND YET NO RECALL AND BMW HAS YET TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE EVERYTHING ON OUR SECURITY CAMERAS.
WHEN STARTING THE CAR DAILY THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF BLUE SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST PIPE ONLY. RESEARCH SHOWS AND BMW CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY OIL LINE HAT IS THE CAUSE AND CAN ALSO EFFECT THE TURBO CHARGE. MY QUESTION IS THAT HIS IS THE EXACT SAME OIL LINE IN OTHER BMW VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEN WHY IS THIS MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PARR &PROBLEM NOT PART OF THE EMISSIONS REDUCTION RECALLS WHEN IT DOING THE IDENTICAL SAME THING. ON COLD MORNINGS FORGET ABOUT IT. THE SMOKE IS SO DENSE THAT IT COVERS THE WHOLE BLOCK. I CAN'T EVEN PARK IN THE GARAGE ANYMORE FROM FEAR OF GETTING DEATHLY ILL AND THE HEADACHES ARE MIND NUMBING. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY SOME GET RECALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUES? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME LOOKING...
CONSISTENT WATER LEAKAGE DURING RAIN FALL. VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS LEAKS WHICH IM ASSUMING IS FROM THE SUNROOF.
1) AT 14K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE FAILED. LOCAL BMW SERVICE SHOP REPLACED THE CASE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS SURPRISED BY THIS ISSUE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE AS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANY CARS FOR PAST 25+ YEARS, BUT NEVER HAD SUCH PROBLEMS. 2) IN LAST WEEK OF JAN , MY CAR ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED AND CAR CAME OFF DRIVE MODE WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NONE BEHIND MY CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP MY CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. CAR WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE MODE UNTIL I HAD STOPPED ENGINE COMPLETELY. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, AND FEW MINUTES LATER SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. FORTUNATELY AGAIN THERE WAS NO VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME *BUT I WAS SCARED TO DEATH BOTH THE TIMES WITH HEART BEATING REALLY HARD.* 3) I THOUGHT I MAY INADVERTENTLY HAVE TOUCHED SOME...
