2006 BMW 7 Series 4-DR w/SAB

THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY DANGEROUS, WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT WILL REV THE ENGINE HIGH, THEN JUMP INTO GEAR AND LUNGE FORWARD. IF STOPPED AT A LIGHT, IT WOULD DEFINITELY KILL SOMEONE, AND WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GETTING REAR-ENDED. ON THIS DATE, THE TRANSMISSION LAUNCHING THE VEHICLE FORWARD ALMOST CAUSED A CASE OF WHIPLASH.

THE DOORS FROM INSIDE DON'T OPEN UP WHEN THE CAR LOSES POWER YOU ARE LOCKED INSIDE ALSO THE ENGINE SMOKES EVEN WHEN THE GASKETS AND SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.THE CAR SUSPENSION IN THE REAR IS TERRIBLE ALSO AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF EVEN WHEN THE DEALER RAN DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR CAR IS PARKED

MY VEHICLE HAS THIS WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST AFTER IT SITS FOR LIKE A FEW MINUTES. SMOKE DOES NOT COME OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING ONLY WHEN I SIT. SO IF I'M AT A RED LIGHT LONG ENOUGH IT WILL SMOKE. THIS JUST START HAPPENING OUT OF NOWHERE AND AFTER LOOKING IT UP EVERYBODY WHO HAS THESE CARS ALMOST HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE CHECKED MY VIN # AND MY 2006 BMW 750LI IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL, HOWEVER, I HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN MY CAR AND HAVE HAD THE CAR START TO ROLL ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, AFTER BEING PLACED IN PARK. I MUST NOW USE THE PARKING BRAKE ON A REGULAR BASIS.

THERE WAS A RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO REGARDING THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA STATES THEY REPAIRED IT. HOWEVER, I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE NOW AND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SENSOR LIGHT IS FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THIS IS FAULTY AND HAPPEN, I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR.

DRIVER SIDE OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE PASSENGER SIDE MAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECALLED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON AND THE I DRIVE CAR DATA SHOWS PASSENGER MAT IS NOT WORKING. BUT THE DEALER SAYS THE DRIVER SIDE IS OUT SOMEHOW. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE MAT DISABLES THE AIRBAG WHEN THERE IS INSUFFICIENT WEIGHT APPLIED.

BRAKES HAVE NO POWER ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT RECALL #10V446000 WAS IN FREEWAY ALL SUDDEN LOST BRAKES LOOK ON LINE THIS WHAT I FOUND CALL MANUFACTURE DEALER THEY DENIED SERVICE

BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME VERY HARD TO ENGAGE. IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF FORCE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THAT BMW HAD A RECALL FOR THE SYSTEM - 10V-466. I CALLED BMW WARRANTY AND INFORMED THEM OF THE REASON FOR MY CALL AS WELL AS THE VIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALL NOTICES FOR MY VEHICLE. WHILE NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHEN, THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALL NOTICES ON THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY INDICATING THAT THE CORRECTION ON THE CAR HAD BEEN MADE. AFTER A LENGTHY DEBATE ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANT AND WHY BMW SAID THEY HAD NO MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE, I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. I GOT SARAH (EMPLOYEE #7716), AN ESCALATION SUPERVISOR. VERY NICE BUT ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO, THAT BMW WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MATTER AND THERE WAS NO ONE THAT SHE COULD ESCALATE ME TO. IF THE CORRECTION, AS SPELLED OUT IN THE RECALL NOTICE WAS IN FACT MADE, IT DID NOT WORK. THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE USED IN THE RECALL NOTICE UNDER CORRECTION STATES AS FOLLOWS: 'THE UPDATED BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY LINE WITH FLUID CHECK VALVE IS TO BE INSTALLED IN ALL APPLICABLE VEHICLES TO ELIMINATE FUTURE CONTAMINATION.' (THE EMPHASIS IS MINE) I HAD ESC SAVE ALL OF THE PARTS AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT IN FACT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS CONTAMINATED WITH OIL WHICH CAUSED THE MEMBRANE TO FAIL. TO ME, THIS MEANS ONE OF TWO THINGS: 1. THE UPDATED BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY LINE WITH FLUID CHECK WAS NEVER INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE; OR 2. THE BMW SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS FAULTY. AS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY LINE, IT APPEARS THAT THE LINE WAS REPLACED AT 97K MILES IN AUGUST OF 2013. SO WHAT GOOD DID THAT DO? IT FAILED AGAIN, (I HAVE ALL OF THE PARTS) IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS. SEE DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED.

ROLLAWAY: CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2008 7 SERIES EQUIPPED WITH THE COMFORT ACCESS OPTION AND MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 23, 2004 THROUGH JULY 24, 2008 HAVE AN ELECTRONIC KEY AND AN ELECTRONIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE TRANSMISSION (SHIFT-BY-WIRE) THAT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE START/STOP BUTTON TO SHUTDOWN THE ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON IS PRESSED 2 OR 3 TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TIME INTERVAL, THE SYSTEM MAY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL RATHER THAN PARK.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH I SPOKE WITH DEALER HE WANTED ME TO SPEND$195 BEFORE HE WORKED ON MY CAR I EXPLAIN AFTER REACHING THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL ON ONE OF THE SENSOR S. STILL REFUSE TO REPAIR WITHOUT ME SPENDING $195.

I HAVE NOTICED OTHER BMW OF SAME YEAR DIFFERENT VINS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE OPENING WHEN DRIVING AND WILL NOT CLOSE, I ENTER MY VIN AND IT SAID NO RECALLS BUT I AM HAVING SAME ISSUES EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING WITH THEIR BMW, I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD GOING AROUND CURVE AND MY DRIVER DOOR CAME OPEN, I ALMOST FELT OUT, TRIED TO CLOSE DOOR BACK BUT DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, HAD TO DRIVE TO MY JOB HOLDING DOOR WITH ONE HAND TO KEEP FROM FALLING OUT, CALLED BMW RECALL TEAM AND THEY SAID ITS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BUT IT IS A KNOW FACTOR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND COMING DOWN THE RAMP WHERE I SLOWED DOWN TO GO AROUND RAMP AND WHEN I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF RAMP I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PICK UP SPEED AND I HEARD A WHISTLING NOISE AND THAT'S WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ON ITS ON AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING.

PRE-OWNED VEHICLE -TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH IS NOT MECHANICAL...VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE FROM PARK. LOCAL BMW DEALER SAYS NEW TRANSMISSION IS NEEDED. RESEARCH INDICATES IT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS (SOLENOID) WHICH SENDS SHIFT SIGNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION. BMW WILL NOT SAY THIS IS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH ITS PRODUCT AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON ANY ROADWAY AT 40-55 MPH, A SERIES OF FAULT CODES ARE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD [TRANSMISSION FAULT-DRIVE MODERATELY], AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. EFFORTS TO PROVE THAT THIS IS NOT OWNER/CONSUMER RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE INTERNAL NATURE OF THE FAULT(S) ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THE BMW DEALER/COMPANY.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING A STOP, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ON THE DASH INDICATED THE GEAR IS NOW "N", THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT TURN TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR, TURNING IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. IF THIS FAULT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY, IT CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND GEAR SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL. FROM READING BMW FORUMS, THEY SAY POSSIBLE CAUSES COULD BE THE INTEGRATED SUPPLY MODULE, TRANSMISSION FAULT, ELECTRICAL ISSUE, OR THE SMG SENSOR. PLEASE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP BOOSTER HAS FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION EVEN AFTER BRAKE BOOSTER SUPPLY LINE WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER, 4, 2010.

AS A CONSUMER AND ALSO READING ABOUT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS, THE OEM PART WHICH BMW IS CHARGING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $6,000. THE PARTS ARE ONLY FOR THE 2006 760I AND THEY SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE. SOME CONSUMERS WERE LUCKY TO HAVE IT GO OUT DURING THEIR WARRANTY BUT SOME HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF EXPENSE AFTER WARDS. IF THIS PART SEEMS TO GO OUT ON A LOT OF 760I MODELS IN BMW THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OUT THEIR TO FIX THEM. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THERE WAS A FEW BUT THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 JUST ON THE FORUM THAT I NORMALLY GO TO FOR ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC AND BMW NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS ONLY ON ONE MODEL AND THAT THE COST OF THIS IS OVERWHELMING.

TWO CONTINUOUS ISSUES: 1. WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE, RPM'S WOULD SHOOT UP, AND WOULD TAKE 3-10 SECONDS TO REGAIN POWER AND FOR CAR TO ACCELERATE.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE MAKES A HARD JERK AND FEELS LIKE SOMEONE SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR - HARD. THE CAR THEN JERKS INTO GEAR. THE DSC INDICATOR LIGHT THEN FLASHES SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I RESUME NORMAL SPEED AND THEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT. I'M VERY SURPRISED THIS HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO MY NECK, IT'S THAT HARD OF A JERK. I'VE HAD THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY BMW FOR ANY UNNECESSARY ERRANDS AND THOUGHT I WOULD UPGRADE TO A NEWER 750LI IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT NOT SURE IF I WANT TO PURCHASE THIS MODEL AGAIN. BMW, PLEASE STEP UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE - THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FOR THIS TO CONTINUE TO BE IGNORED. *JS

I HAD MY CAR TO THE HUNTERDON BMW DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR MY CAR REFUSING TO LEAVE NEUTRAL.

I FINALLY GAVE UP SINCE BMW REFUSED TO HELP ME. I TRADED THE CAR IN ON 4/1/13 BECAUSE I FEARED IT WOULD STOP RUNNING AGAIN, AND BOUGHT A CADILLAC. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS I RECEIVED PEANUTS FOR MY CAR BECAUSE OF IT HISTORY, NO DEALERS WANTED IT, THEY KNEW IT WAS A LEMON. SO BMW SOLD ME A LEMON AND I ENDED UP WITH A WORTHLESS CAR, AND A YEAR LATER THEY ADMIT IT WAS A PROBLEM. THEY KNEW ALL ALONG BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM, AND IGNORED IT. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON WEB PAGES COMPLAINING, AND ALL OF THEM WERE IGNORED BY BMW. *TR

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED.....BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE. *TR

I WANT TO START BY SAYING, I HAVE OWNED 7 SERIES SINCE 1991, MY FIRST PURCHASE WAS THE 735I, 745 AND NOW THE 750I. THE 750I IS BY FAR A MUCH BETTER DRIVING MACHINE, HOWEVER WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH IT, I WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT MY 745I!!! IT'S BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER! NOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHILE PARK!! IF YOU HIT THE START/STOP BUTTON IT WOULD GO INTO PARK (THE INDICATED "P" LIGHTS UP) BUT THEN THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD DEPENDING ON IF YOU ARE PARK ON A INCLINE/DECLINE. SINCE THAT STARTED, NOW I GET A MESSAGE STATING ?TRANSMISSION FAULT? AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR!!! THE SELF-CLOSE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TOO!!! AT THIS POINT, I WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT SHE WILL GET HURT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR! IT ACTUALLY ROLLED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE!!! I AM SURE THAT I?M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECT IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE COMPLAINT TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WITHIN BMW AND NO ACTIONS SEEMS TO BE TAKEN TO HELP REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT OVER $10K IN REPAIRS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS!!!! *TR

OCT 19TH 2012, 2006 BMW 750LI. (AUTOMATIC PARK FEATURE CAUSES VEHICLE TO ALMOST RUN OVER MY DAUGHTER ON ITS OWN) I STOPPED THE CAR ON MY DRIVEWAY AND OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PUSHED THE P PARK BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER (OPENING DOOR WHILE CAR IS STOPPED CAUSES THIS MODEL TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO "P" PARK) I PROCEEDED TO EXIT CAR TO KEY IN MY GARAGE CODE ON THE KEYPAD MOUNTED BY THE DOOR ABOUT 8 FEET AWAY. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR WITH AUTOMATIC PARK FEATURE SO JUST IN CASE I ALWAYS MANUALLY PUSH THE "P" PARK BUTTON AS A REDUNDANT HABIT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I PHYSICALLY SAW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM D DRIVE TO P PARK AND LIGHT UP BEFORE EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND IN PARK!, WHEN OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, BEFORE THE GARAGE DOOR COULD OPEN I NOTICED THE CAR FOLLOWING ME. IT MOVED ABOUT 8 FEET AND BARELY MISSED MY 4 YEAR OLD THAT WAS ON HER BICYCLE ABOUT 5 FEET AWAY. IT SLAMMED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR AT AROUND 2-5MPH BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON ITS OWN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, THERE WAS LITTLE GEAR LIGHT ON THE DASH AND A TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODE" APPEARED AND IT HAD SHIFTED TO N NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. NOW WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT IN D DRIVE IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS. APPARENTLY, IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL ALL BY ITSELF AND INERTIAL PLOWED INTO THE DOOR. IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME HOW IT WENT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL UNTIL I READ YOUR ARTICLE REGARDING AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I FURTHER FOUND THROUGH THE BMW FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING MANY CARS IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL RANGE. I EVEN NOTICED THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY GRAND DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK UNLATCHED. BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MORNING TRAFFIC, I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CALL BMW TO PICK UP THE CAR. *TR

FROM 2011-PRESENT, MY BMW 750 LI HAS BEEN SERVICED 3-4 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHILE BMW STATES THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. ON ONE OCCASION, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS JUST PICKED FOLLOWING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, I HAD TO CALL BMW ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO PICK UP APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES LATER TO PICK UP THE CAR AGAIN. WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM BMW, I STOPPED AT A LOCAL STORE AND ATTEMPTED TO PARK. AFTER BACKING UP, THEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE (IN AN ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN MY CAR IN THE PARKING SPACE) MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED AGAIN. I DID EVEN MAKE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE CAR NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AGAIN. TODAY, IS AUGUST 23, 2012, AND MY CAR IS AGAIN AT BMW BEING SERVICED FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS CAR IS SO UNRELIABLE THAT I DON'T DRIVE IT MORE THAN AN HOUR FROM HOME NOR CAN I DEPEND ON IT BEING MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. MY CAR IS AT 64,446 MILES AND IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER TALKING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN YESTERDAY, HE STATED THAT HE IS NOT SURE WHY THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR, OTHER THAN FINDING A BATTERY FAULT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT BMW WOULD HAVE SUCH DIFFICULTY REPAIRING THEIR OWN VEHICLES. THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE AND UNSATISFACTORY WORK IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

BEGAN GETTING LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. REMOVED TIRE TO CHECK FOR NAIL OR PUNCTURE, NOTICED INSIDE LIP OF RIM HAS SMALL CRACK.

BASED ON INTERNET POSTINGS, THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT AND OF COURSE BMW CLAIMS THAT THEY NEVER HEAR OF THIS!! *TR

I OWN AN 2006 BMW 750LI, VIN#. [XXX], WITH ABOUT 34,428 MILES ON THE CARE. I AM GETTING A MESSAGE EVERY NOW AND THEN SINCE 2 DAYS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT MENTIONS THAT THE FLUID IS LOW AND PRESSURE LOSS IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. WHEN I DRIVE, I FEEL THAT IT IS GETTING HARDER TO TURN AT SHARP ANGELS. I NOW SEE THE FLUID LOSS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AFTER I SAW THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. I RESEARCHED ON THE WWW.BMWUSA.COM WEBSITE, AND I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON NEWER VEHICLE MODELS (MODEL YEAR 2012-13 BMW X5 SAV AND MODEL YEAR 2013 BMW X6 SAC), CAUSED BY THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING WHICH CAUSES THE WITH FLUID AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LOSS UNDER THE CAMPAIGN # 12V-267: STEERING GEAR WHICH DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM AS BELOW ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NOTICE. "DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE STEERING GEAR. DUE TO A MACHINE PROCESS ERROR AT THE SUPPLIER, A SNAP RING IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING CAN LOOSEN DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. THIS WOULD LEAD TO LEAKAGE OF POWER STEERING FLUID FLOWING INTO THE RUBBER BOOT OF THE STEERING GEAR, CAUSING A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. STEERING FUNCTION WILL BE MAINTAINED; HOWEVER, THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. IN SOME CASES, POWER STEERING FLUID CAN SPRAY ONTO HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS. THEREFORE, AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE MAY OCCUR. " I LATER CALLED BACK THE LOCAL DEALER UNITED BMW IN ROSWELL, GA TO REPORT ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE SERVICE REP SAID, MY VIN# DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THIS RECALL AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO CALL BMWUSA OR NHTSA TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. HENCE I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE NHTSA. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE AND IF I CAN GET THE ISSUE FIXED UND ER THE RECALL NOTICE # 12V-267: STEERING GEAR. LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ADVICE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EVENTUALLY HAD TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL HOLDING THE DRIVER DOOR WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER. NOT SAFE AT ALL.

UPDATED 09/15/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING RECALL 09V384000 AIR:FRONTAL RECTIFIED BY BMW. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH HE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. UPDATED 09/19/11

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE HER RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR SHE WAS UNABLE TO SHUT IT PROPERLY WHEN THE AIR WAS VERY MOIST. WHEN THE DOOR CLOSED IT OPENED BACK UP ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE OR DUPLICATE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000. UPDATE COMP CODE TO LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES. *.PCO

I HAVE A BMW 2006 750 AND I AM HAVING LATCH ISSUES, THE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH. *TR

A MAJOR BMW SAFETY CONCERN. ON A 2006 BMW 750 LI, RANDOMLY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. NOTHING HOLDS THE DOOR CLOSED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN AND HAS TO BE HELD CLOSE BY THE DRIVER'S HAND. WHEN THE DOOR WON'T LATCH THE KEY FOB AND THE INTERIOR ELECTRIC LOCK BUTTONS DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THE FACTORY IGNORES STATING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ANY REPAIR MUST BE PAID FOR BY THE OWNER. ELECTRONIC DOOR LATCHES MUST BE DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. RANDOMLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND REPEATEDLY CLOSING THE DOOR HAS NO APPARENT EFFECT. LEAVING THE CAR IN A LOT WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH LEAVES THE CONTENTS UNSECURED. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NOTICING THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS NOT LATCHED IS VERY SCARY AND I'M AFRAID IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT DEATH COULD BE A DIRECT RESULT. *TR UPDATE COMP CODE TO LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES. *PCO

ON NOV 29, 2010 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR STANDARD MAINTENANCE AS WELL AS TO INVESTIGATE LEAKS THAT WERE OCCURRING. THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT THEY NEEDED TO PERFORMANCE MAINTENANCE ON AS WELL RELATED TO THE BRAKES. LEAKS WERE REPAIRED, RECALL WORK (BRAKE LINE AND VACUUM PIPE) COMPLETED. ON MAR 3, 2011 ALL POWER ASSIST TO MY BRAKES FAILED WHILE BACKING UP AND NEARLY COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE $1,000 TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. WHEN I ASKED WHY THIS WORK WASN'T PERFORMED WHEN THE RECALL MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS NOT REQUIRED. MY WORRY IS THAT OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS WILL BE AT RISK DUE TO INCOMPLETE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY BMW WITH MUCH MORE SERIOUS OUTCOMES. I AM STRUGGLING CURRENTLY WITH BMW TO CONVINCE THEM THAT THIS IS ALL RELATED (AS NOTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE) BUT NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE DOORS UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE COMFORT TOUCH LOCKING MECHANISM ON ALL FOUR DOORS BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FAULT BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE MAT IN DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THEY HAVE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME FAULT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT BMW HAS NOT YET RECALLED THE DRIVER SIDE MAT. THIS FAULT RENDERS THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG INACTIVE AND WILL NOT DEPLOY EVEN IF THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF IMPACT OCCURS. *LN

I AM SEEKING ASSISTANCE IN THE MATTER OF HAVING A DEFECTIVE ENGINE IN MY 2006 750I BMW. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE OCT. 2008 AND WE HAVE KEPT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON IT AS PRESCRIBED. RECENTLY AFTER TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP FOR LIGHT SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT OUR ENGINE WAS POSSIBLY BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT FIRST WE WERE TOLD THAT BMW WOULD MOST LIKELY COVER PARTS IF WE WERE TO HAVE THE ENGINE BROKE DOWN TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHICH WE AGREE TO; BEFORE THE ENGINE WAS BROKE DOWN AND THE CAUSE WAS KNOWN WE WERE TOLD THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP. WE CONTINUED WITH THE BREAK DOWN TO DISCOVER THAT THE ENGINE IS IN FACT BAD AND IT IS "VERY UNUSUAL" FOR THE ENGINE TO BE IN THE SHAPE IT WAS IN. MIND YOU THE ENGINE ONLY HAS 59000 MILES ON IT AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY UP UNTO 50000 MILES. THE 2011 BMW THEY SAY WILL RUN UP 300000 MILES THE AVERAGE BMW ENGINE WILL RUN OVER 200000 MILE AND MY ONLY WENT UP TO 59000 MILE WHICH WAS TIME OF DETERMINING THAT THE ENGINE WAS BAD. THAT ISN'T EVEN A QUARTER OF WHAT BMW ENGINES WILL DO, SO IT IS CLEAR THAT THE ENGINE IS ONE OUT OF THE FEW THAT COME OFF THE LINE WITH MAJOR DEFECTS. I WOULD LIKE BMW TO TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR THEIR DEFECTED ENGINE AND PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AS OF NOW MY FAMILY AND I ARE HADN'T TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR AROUND $29,000.00 FOR A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE BMW WILL NOT ASSIST US IN THIS MATTER. ATTACHED ARE THE READING AND MEASUREMENT THAT THE MECHANIC TOOK AND DECLARED THE ENGINE TO BE BAD. FURTHER MORE WE HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR CAR UNTIL AFTER GETTING AND OIL CHANGE AT BMW OF NASHVILLE WHERE THE CAR IS STILL CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP.

BMW OF NASHVILLE IS TELLING ME I NEED A NEW MOTOR IN MY 2006 750I BMW; THE ENGINE ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT. THEY SAY THE ENGINE BLOCK IS BAD. I AM 9,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY ARE SAYING IS ALL ON ME. I HAVE HAD ALL SERVICES REQUIRED AND NOT ONCE WAS IT BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY ENGINE WAS GOING BAD AND NOW IT'S GONE FROM BEING GOOD TO NEEDING ANOTHER ENGINE? DUE TO THE MILEAGE I HAVE ON THE ENGINE AND I FIND THIS TO BE A DEFECTED ENGINE AND WOULD ASK FOR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

VEHICLE SLAMS INTO FIRST GEAR UPON DECELERATION AND "SLIPS" IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY, AS IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. WHEN TRANSMISSION GETS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IT WILL SLAM INTO GEAR BEFORE ACCELERATION OCCURS. CAR WAS AT BMW DEALER FOR SEVEN DAYS WITH ALL SOFTWARE UPGRADES THAT DEALER SUGGESTED WERE PERFORMED AND STILL SAME PROBLEM. NO CALL BACKS TO DATE. SPOKE WITH BMW OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALER. UNWILLING TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ISSUED INTERCOMPANY TECH. BULLETINS REGARDING THE EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST LOCATED THE FAILURE AS THE BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION, BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT RECALL 10V446000 SERVICE BRAKES HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST VACUUM REMEDY WASN'T AVAILABLE; THEREFORE, THEY COULDN'T REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 95,826.

I PURCHASED 2 PIRELLI ROSSO TIRES FOR THE REAR OF MY 2006 BMW 760LI. I WAS DRIVING ON I-24W IN NASHVILLE, TN ON THE NIGHT OF 10/24/10. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND I COULD NOT KEEP MY CAR ON THE ROAD IF I WENT OVER 40 MPH. WHEN I CHECKED MY TIRES THE NEXT MORNING, I NOTICED THEY WERE COMPLETELY BALD. THEY ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES, USUALLY LASTING 15,000-20,000 MILES. THESE TIRES ONLY LASTED 3,500 MILES. I PURCHASED THESE TIRES ON 09/30/10. I AM A 36 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH 2 CHILDREN. I DO NOT HOT-ROD MY CAR OR DRIVE IN EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES MY CAR. I CONTACTED PIRELLI CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN ROME, GA. I WAS TREATED VERY RUDELY BY A WOMAN CALLING HERSELF "SANDRA". I WAS ONLY OFFERED 40% OFF A NEW SET OF REAR TIRES. NEVERMIND THAT THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THE TIRE. I CLEARLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE WOMAN ON THE OTHER LINE WOULD NOT HELP ME. SHE WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH TO ANYONE WHO COULD. SHE HUNG UP ON ME ONCE AND PUT ME THROUGH TO A STRANGE VOICEMAIL ANOTHER TIME. SHE BASICALLY TOLD ME I COULD TAKE OR LEAVE THE 40% AND THEY WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO DO ANYMORE. I TOOK MY CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN MURFREESBORO, TN. THEY CALLED CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND GOT THE SAME REACTION. IT'S GOING ON 3 DAYS NOW, AND PIRELLI HAS NOT FAXED OVER THE 40% DISCOUNT AS PROMISED OR ATTEMPTED TO HELP ME IN THIS SITUATION AT ALL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND ASKED THE WOMAN ANSWERING THE PHONE FOR ANOTHER NUMBER WHERE I MIGHT GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. SHE WOULD NOT HEAR MY COMPLAINT. *TR

2006 BMW 750LI. CONSUMER STATES COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING SYSTEM. *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO USE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. AT THE TIME OF THE BRAKE FAILURE, THERE WAS NO WARNING ON THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD TO SUGGEST ANY MALFUNCTION OF THE ENGINE, BRAKE FLUID, FRONT BRAKES ETC. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE INVOICE, THE VACUUM PUMP LEAKED OIL INTO THE VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH CAUSED THE BOOSTER TO FAIL. *JB

THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING, REBOOTED ITS INTERNAL SYSTEMS AND THE CAR HAD A 2-SECOND SHUT-DOWN AND GREATLY REDUCED SPEED AND RESPONSIVENESS. WHEN THE DASHBOARD AND MIDDLE CONSOLE CAME FUNCTIONAL AGAIN, IT DISPLAYED SEVERAL WARNINGS THAT CERTAIN FEATURES (LIKE DYNAMIC DRIVE) WERE SHUT OFF AND THE CAR NEEDS TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH "ELECTRONIC" PROBLEMS SINCE ITS PURCHASE AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY TWO WEEKS WITH A SYSTEM FAILING OR SHUTTING OFF. BMW HAS PROPOSED MANY SOLUTIONS BUT HAVE YET TO FIX IT, AND AFTER THE LAST "FIX" THE CAR STARTED TO REBOOT ITSELF AND TURN OFF SAFETY FEATURES. THE CAR HAS HAD A "VERSION UPDATE" OF THE SOFTWARE BUT THAT HAS SEEMED TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE ON-DISPLAY FAULTS THAT WERE BEING DISPLAYED AS WELL AS A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE SYSTEM REBOOTING ITSELF. *TR

ON 1-25-2010 I WAS GOING TO NEW PORT BEACH AND TRAVELING ON FWY405N. ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE PLACE OF ACCIDENT MY CAR STARTED SWIRLING ABOUT 2' LEFT AND RIGHT AND I WAS VERY WORRIED. THERE WAS NO SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE FOR ANY KIND TROUBLE TO THE CAR THERE IS ALWAYS SOME THING OR OTHER CAUTIONING DRIVER OF STEPS TO BE TAKEN. ALSO BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY DESTINATION SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE VERY CAUTIOUSLY. IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES TIMECAR STARTED SWIRLING VERY VIOLENTLY RIGHT AND LEFT AND BRAKES AND STEERING CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING AS I TRIED MY BEST TO CONTROL THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED CLOSE TO FWY73 EXIT. THOUGH I WAS CONTINUING TO 405N I WAS ON MOST LEFT LANE CLOSE TO DIAMOND LANE. AFTER VIOLENT SWIRLING RIGHT AND LEFT DURING THAT ACTION CAR TOOK A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE TURN AND QUIETLY STOPPED VERY CLOSE TO AND PARALLEL/ADJACENT TO CENTER DIVIDER FACING TO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WAS SAFE WITHOUT ANY HURT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND THEN I CALLED HOME AND THEN I CALLED MY CONTACT TO WHOM I WAS GOING TO SEE. AFTER HWY PATROL ARRIVED I SAW THAT BOTH THE BACK WHEELS WERE TILTED AT 60 DEGREE ANGLE AND WHEN CAR WAS TAKING 180 DEGREE TURN BUMPER TOUCHED THE CENTER DIVIDING WALL AND CAME OFF. THIS WAS TOTAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR. NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN THIS ACCIDENT AND I DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER STATIONARY OBJECT. BMW DOES NOT WANT TO ENTERTAIN THIS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY LIBERTY MUTUAL IS CONSISTENTLY TELLING THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT AND I HIT THE CAR WITH A STANDING OBJECT. I AM ASKING FOR THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE IT PROPERLY BY READING IN THE CAR COMPUTER THAT WHAT WAS THE REASON OF ACCIDENT AND WHAT WAS MILEAGE I WAS TRAVELING. ALSO WHY BRAKES AND STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHICH COULD HAVE HELPED ME IN PREVENTING THIS ACCIDENT. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY GAINS BUT TRYING TO SEE THAT MORE PEOPLE MAY NOT GET INVOLVED IN THESE ACCIDENTS AND MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY AS I WAS. I SINCERELY NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE HELP! HELP! HELP! *TR

OCCUPANCY SENSOR / FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF WARNING LAMP LIGHTS UP WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR PURCHASED LATE JANUARY 2009. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 2-3 TIMES PER MONTH. SEPT 2009, AFTER MONTHS OF COMPLAINING AND HAVING THE DEALER TELL ME THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THE REPLACED THE SENSOR MAT IN THE SEAT. THIS WAS COVERED IN EA08-001 AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE THE CAR WAS OFFERED FOR SALE. LATER THAT SAME MONTH THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A BMW 750LI SEDAN. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR INTERMITTENTLY BUT APPROXIMATELY 1 TIME PER MONTH HAS A VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOW GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE JUST BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A NECK INJURY FROM THIS "VIOLENT" SLAMMING. IT HAPPENS TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR AS I HAVE READ ABOUT IT ON MANY FORUMS. BMW WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IF YOU CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING UP A STEEP HILL AND YOU TAKE YOU FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN START TO ACCELERATE. IT IS UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THEN LIGHTLY ACCELERATING, VEHICLE SLAMS INTO A LOWER GEAR CAUSING MY HEAD TO SNAP BACK. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE AT IS RANDOM, BUT OTHER BMW OWNERS HAVE NOTED THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
