2007 X5 4.8 WITH PANORAMIC SUNROOF, SUNROOF TRAY OVERFLOWS AND LEAKS INTO INTERIOR ELECTRICAL, AIRBAGS, AND CARPET DUE TO DEFECTIVE DESIGN/ASSEMBLY (BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION). SUNROOF DRAINS BOTH FRONT AND REAR HAVE DRAIN TUBES WHICH ARE PRONE TO KINK AND BACK UP WATER INTO THE SUNROOF TRAY, WHICH THEN SPILLS OVER ONTO THE TOPSIDE OF THE HEADLINER AND FROM THERE ONTO JUST ABOUT EVERY ELECTRONIC ITEM IN THE CAR INCLUDING AIR BAGS AND CONTROLLERS, LIGHTING CONTROLS, AND ELECTRICAL BOXES ON THE FLOOR AND TRUNK AREA. SOME HAVE REPORTED ARCS AND CAR FIRES DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE; BMW SAYS IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE ALTHOUGH HAS ZERO LISTED FOR SUNROOF MAINTENANCE, AND NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING IS GOING TO FIX THE SUNROOF DRAIN LINES THAT I FOUND TWISTED...LIKELY BEEN THAT WAY SINCE INITIAL ASSEMBLY, BUT ROUTING DOWN INSIDE THE APILLARS MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO TRY TO FIX IT, MUCH LESS SEE IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DEFECT HASN'T INVOLVED NHTSA RECALL SINCE IT CAN VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN IN-USE ELECTRICAL FIRE AT WORST, OR AT BEST FAILURE OF AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED DUE TO WATER/CORROSION ISSUES, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ELECTRICAL DAMAGE FOR EACH OCCURRENCE.

DOSE NOT ACTIVATE

FUEL ODOR IS CONSTANT AROUND THE VEHICLE. RECALL ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS. RECALL ON FUEL TANK FILTER

THE AUTO IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE STEERING SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING AND PUTS CAR IN LIMP MODE. HAPPENED 7 TIMES IN ONE DAY, CAR IN LIMP MODE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC . MAKING A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT MALFUNCTIONED AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO COLLISION BECAUSE CAR LOST 99% OF POWER. CAR HAS ACTIVE RECALLS VERY OLD NOW BMW SAYS TEY HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS 37,186 MILES ON IT , MAKING THE OPERATING COST OVER $2.00 A MILE NOT INCLUDING GASOLINE OR MAINTAINENCE. TO RESET MALFUNTIONING SENSOR THE BATTERY IS DISCONECTED TO REBOOT THE ENGINE CONTROLLS RECONECTED RESTART THEN TURN HARD LEFT AND THEN HARD RIGHT, NORMAL DRIVING IS RESUMED ON THIS UNIT IT ONLY WORKS UNTILL YOU SLOW FOR TRAFFIC OR TO MAKE A TURN MAKING THE CAR AND TRAFFIC AROUND IT EXTEMELY UNSAFE AS THE AUTO HAS SUDDEN POWER LOSS. THE RECALLS ON AUTO ARE OLD AND AGAIN BMW SAY NO REPLACEMENT PARTS. PHONE MESSAGES TO SERVICING DEALER ARE UNANSWERED AND WHERE I LIVE THER IS NO DEALER. MY OWN SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED ALL 5 SERIES BMW HAVE COMPLAINTS OF THIS MALFUNCTION. I AM A CANCER PATIENT AND USING THIS VEHICLE TO TRAVEL TO TREATMENTS IS GOING TO KILL ME BEFORE THE CANCER. AND MAYBE OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE TOO. I FEEL THAT BMW LOOKING IN TO IT IS NOT ENOUGH ACTION NTSB SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND BMW SHOULD BE MADE LIABLE FOR ALL REPAIRS AND RESPONCIBLE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF AFFECTED AUTOS TO A REPAIR CENTER AS THE AUTOS ARE IN FACT UNSAFE TO OPERATE.

MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SOMETIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. EVERY MORNING, IT TAKES 10 TO 15 MINS TO START THE CAR. THE LAST WEEK OR SO, THE CAR DOESN'T START AT ALL CAUSING CHAOS FOR US TO GO TO WORK. LAST WEEK MY WIFE WAS BACKUP AND THE CAR STALLED. I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS AS MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE IN THE CAR THE MOST. THIS COULD BECOME A SERIOUS ISSUE.

THIS IS INVOLVING THE RECALL ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE INVOLVING THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP...BMW STILL HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE, I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER IN CICERO, NEW YORK AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER 6 MOS AGO AND MY VEHICLE'S INSPECTION WAS DUE IN MARCH AND THEY WILL NOT PASS IT BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS ISSUE CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. SO I KEEP GETTING TICKETS BECAUSE I AM AN ATTORNEY AND NEED MY CAR TO DRIVE ALL OVER FOR WORK. ITS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN OVER 6 MOS AND I KEEP GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE FROM THE DEALER. ALSO, THE AIRBAG RECALLS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED EITHER PRESENTING ANOTHER DANGER IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.

BMW HAS TO FIX THIS PRIORITY 3 RECALL, 2 ARE THE FRONT AIRBAGS,(INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER PASSENGERS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH) BEFORE SOME REALLY BAD CAN HAPPEN. 1 IS THE FUEL TANK LEAKS CAN CAUSE FIRE ANOTHER REAL BAD OPTION CAN HAPPEN. I HAVE MY BMW STALLING LAST WEEK WAS VERY BAD, THE CAR JUST STOP ON FREEWAY WITH NOT CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY SCARY AND ALSO MY AND MY FAMILY LIFE WAS IN DANGER. WHEN I GO TO BMW (KELLY BMW COLUMBUS) THEY IGNORE COMPLETELY THE RECALL AND THEY START TO CHARGE ME 145 FOR STALLING WHEN SHOULD BE FREE AND SEE THE ATTACHMENT FOR WHAT THEY TRY TO CHARGE ME.I WILL LIKE TO GET THIS FIX SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ME OR MY FAMILY CAN RISK LIFE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED 2 LETTERS FROM BMW RE: RECALLS FOR (1) DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE, (2) PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE DATED RESPECTIVELY, (1) MARCH 2016 AND (2) JULY 2016 AND UP TILL NOW, NO DEFINITE DATES WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR IN-SHOP REPAIR.

CAR HAD 56000 MILES ON IT, AT 99500 MOTOR WENT, THEN AIR SPRINGS, PARKING BRAKE, TAKATA RECALL,WHEN THE TRANSMISSION, VACUUM PUMP, AND HOW THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. TODAY THE I DRIVE WENT OUT IN TOTAL MYSELF AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY HAVE SPEND OVER 24000. DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT PER BMW IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE, MORE LIKE JUNK!!! AND NO PARTS IN SIGHT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAGS OR THE FUEL PUMP. I THINK A CLASS ACTION SHOULD BE FILED. I'M 58 YEARS OLD NOT 18 I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS. THE CAR VALUE ON KELLY BLUE BOOK IS ONLY 12000. WE NEED HELP TO MAKE BMW STAND BEHIND WHERE QUALITY NOT THEIR HAND IN OUR BACK POCKETS, NO CAR THAT COST 77500.00 IN 2007 SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. A FORD OR CHEVY WOULD DO BETTER. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT BMW KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2010 X5 WITH THE 4.8 I ENGINE AND I DRIVE BUT NEVER MADE IT GOOD, JUST ASK ANYONE THAT OWNED ONE. MY LAST ONE I THINK KIA WOULD HOLD UP BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE WAY THE CAR HAS 125200 NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, IT JUST QUITS WITH NO WARNING. *TR
