2007 BMW 750LI Electrical System Problems

Water linkage down door panels to the floor, Drivers side ECM is located in that area, water damages the components and caused it to produce codes, interfering with car engine, causes surges, and vehicle to all of sudden shut off even while driving on freeway or streets. Water linkage on the passenger side down into the fuse box. All so causing electrical malfunction that opens the door for potential unsafe events.

I had my car towed to BMW OF WEST SPRINGFIELD MA, to get car initially overhaul and completely fixed I understand that are six underlying recalls airbags, odb communications, brakes, electrical, door latches, after calling and letting them know my car was on its way, I requested a courtesy call and no was given I call two days later to be told my car wasn’t on the lot, then to be called back hours later to be told they could not find key to my vehicle, also they tried to make me pay for the lost key in WHICH THEY LOST, they still refuse to fix the recall and are requesting me get it towed out at there expense the recalls can only be fixed by BMW, also MASSACHUSETTS AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THEM TO BE FIXED, so therefore the car cannot leave the lot until recall is fixed

1) The electrical section of the dashboard for speed, checking gas levels etc. is no longer visible. It is available for inspection! 2) For the obvious reason: unable to determine all safety measures such as speed, driving safety such as gas level, warning signals etc.! 3) The problem was the result of numerous visits to the dealership regarding the rain leaking into the car. Which they said they were unable to find a leak or leaks. Advised the of possible recall re: car latch issues where the water leaks into the car via trunk etc. They finally realized their error. But failed to repair. Said it was a recall issue. 4) As mentioned...Has been inspected numerous times by the dealership in Willoughby, OH! 5) Of course there were warning signs that there was a problem or would eventually be a problem when water starts getting into your car: when it shouldn't (doors closed, windows up sunroof closed etc. However, as I said previously, the dealership inspected the car enough times to find what the problem was and avoid the damage cause: (UNLESS IT IS/WAS AN ISSUE THAT WARRANT A RECALL OF THE CAR'S SEALING, SUNROOF, LATCH ETC. THAT WAS DEFFECTIVE!!! NOTE: The dealership indicated that the water was getting in to the car, but couldn't stop it from getting in didn't have the knowledge to fix? Wouldn't that be a recall matter? MY SAFETY & OTHERS IS AT STAKE IF YOU DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF A DEFECT IN THIS BMW.

CAR SCREEN PANEL DEAD. NO VISUABLE INFORMATION ON CAR PANEL TO DETERMINE SPEED, GAS LEVEL ETC. CAR PICKED UP FROM DEALERSHIP AFTER SERVICE AND TOLD OF WATER LEAK IN CAR. HAD BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A LEAK OF WATER INTO CAR. HOWEVER, APPARENTLY, THEY DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR THE PANEL DUE TO THEIR NELIGENCE. THE CAR HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THEM WITH THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AS A POTENTIAL RECALL ISSUE.

TOOK IN FOR REPAIR FOR WATER GETTING INTO CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER. TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM OR WHERE ANY WATER WAS GETTING INTO CAR. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, TOLD THAT THEY CLEANED WATER LINES ETC. SO, SHOULD BE OK. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING IT HOME & ONCE A GOOD RAIN CAME, IT GOT WET INSIDE THE CABIN/CAR AGAIN! THEY HAD THE CAR, WORKED ON IT ETC. HOWEVER, WHEN IT WAS PICKED UP AGAIN, TOLD THAT THE DASH SCREEN WAS DAMAGED. BUT RATHER THAN BLAME IT ON THE WATER GETTING INTO THE CAR ETC.; THEY BLAMED IT ON SOMETHING ELSE WHICH COST AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE TO REPAIR. OR THEY FAILED TO ADMIT THEIR UNBELIEVABLE CAR CARE AND CUSTOMER CARE/SERVICE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE LOST OF BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CAR DASH, SCREEN ETC.: ALL OF THE SYSTEMS INFORMATION: GAS LEVEL, SPEED, LIGHTS, NAVIGATION ETC. HAS BEEN LOST.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. BOTH COMFORT ACCESS AND SOFT CLOSE IS NOT WORKING.

MY VEHICLE HAS A DRIVERS SIDE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH LEAVING THE DOOR TO OCCASIONALLY NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY OPEN. THIS IS A CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENT THAT IS NOT SERVING ITS PURPOSE CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL OR INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. DUE TO EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN MY VEHICLES NAVIGATION/AUDIO COMPONENTS ARE INOPERABLE. LEAKAGE OF FLUID FROM THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC SHOCK DOWN ONTO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS RESULTED IN WIRING SYSTEM PROBLEMS THAT MAY RESULT IN FIRE AND OR LOSS OF LIGHTING. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE WITH THE MOST ATTENTIVE AND PRESTIGIOUS SERVICE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT I AM HAVING THESE SAFETY AND POOR DESIGN PROBLEMS DUE TO BMW DEFECTS AND FLAWS. LAST WEEK I CALLED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THESE 2 SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO BY BMW SERVICE CENTER FOR INSPECTION AND CONTACT THEM UPON DOING SO. YESTERDAY I CONTACTED THEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO FORWARD THE DIAGNOSIS/ACTION PLAN AND TO MY SURPRISE NOT ONLY WAS I REFUSED THE RIGHT TO FORWARD THE PAPERWORK BUT WAS ALSO REFUSED ANY REMEDY BY BMW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 25-30MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED LOSING ALL POWER INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND HAVING TO COAST INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS. AFTER SITTING FOR 15 MINUTES AND 5-10 "NO STARTS", THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE EVENT. THERE IS A CURRENT POWER SUPPLY RECALL ON SEVERAL BMW MODELS DEMONSTRATING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. BMW STATES THAT THE POWER SUPPLY ON THE 750LI IS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE VEHICLES UNDER THE RECALL. THIS MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED AS I HAVE READ SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE BMW FORUMS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH MANY BMW 7 SERIES OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. *TR
