Hello , I would like to report a failed front differential on my vehicle. This issue was diagnosed by an independent BMW shop and is currently being repaired. Mine made it to 69k miles but many others have had theirs failed before 50k miles. My main goal is to bring light to this issue since it seems to be a design flaw. There's also numerous reports for failed transfer cases since they aren't normally serviced by BMW dealers. I've attached both repair invoices.
The contact owns a 2020 BMW X7. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the wheels while turning to the right or the left. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that both front control arms needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V678000 (SUSPENSION); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was previously serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V644000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
X7 models from year 2020 -2022 have a particular issue at stake which is a manufacture default as it's been reported in many cases in X7 models. I'd like have this Transportation safety to please look into this issue a safety recall as there is a shuddering issue in most x7's when turning right or left at a lower speed which slips the vehicle. I would appreciate it if someone could look into this. Thanks,
