2010 BMW 7 Series 4-DR w/SAB

The contact owns a 2010 BMW 750LI. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle there was a loud backfire and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who stated that the engine head gasket was blown. No further information was available. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JUNE OF 2019. I RECEIVED A CARFAX REPORT BEFORE THE PURCHASE. THE CAR WAS VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. I WAS PLEASED WITH TH CAR UNTIL IT STARTED SMOKING EVERY TIME THE ENGINE GOT WARM. I HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL ALMOST EVERY TWO TO THREE DAYS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED, FOR TRAFFIC , RED LIGHT OR STARTED FROM A STOP POSITION BLUE SMOKE WOULD COME FROM EXHAUST AND THERE IS A HORRIBLE SMELL OF BURNT OIL AND ANTIFREEZE. MY CAR PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST UNTIL WHITE SMOKE STEAM WOULD COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EVERY TIME I DROV E SHORT DISTANCES I WOULD HAVE TO ADD ENGINE COOLANT. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I HAD TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGED AND A CHECKUP AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN APRIL,(THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND SMELLING LIKE ENGINE COOLANT. I WAS INFORMED THEN THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN LAWSUIT AGAINST BMW FOR NOT ADVISING THE OWNERS OF CERTAIN MODELS AND ENGINES WOULD HAVE THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IF I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR IN BEFORE FEB. 2020, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE BENEFITS ENTITLED TO OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BRING MY CAR IN, TIME HAD EXPIRED. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR WHICH PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED FOR AND WERE LATER ADDED TO MY VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE LAWSUIT RELATING TO THE ENGINE PROBLEMS BY THE SELLING SHEA USED CARS, FORMALLY PATSY LOU, MEGA LOT OR GRAND BLANC MOTORSPORTS (BMW DEALERSHIP) THAT INFORMED IN APRIL ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED REGARDING MY CAR I WOULD RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY. NOW TO PROPERLY FIX MY CAR I NEED $15,227.38 . I AM OF COURSE NOW PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T ENJOY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUED. ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

MY CAR DOORS ARE LOCKED AND CAN'T BE OPENED AT ALL! IN THE PAST, I'VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR AND COULDN'T GET OUT UNLESS I STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, ROLL DOWN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AND STICK THE KEY IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND MANUALLY TURN IT TO UNLOCK IT. NOW MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. NONE OF THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD SON THAT RIDES WITH ME IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS FOR GOOD. THEY'RE ARE POTENTIAL DEATH TRAPS!

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES TO THE GROCERY STORE, PARKED, WE SHOPPED, 30 MINUTES LATER, DROVE BACK HOME, AGAIN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. BACKED THE VEHICLE INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. GROCERIES WERE UNLOADED WHILE MY GIRLFRIEND WAS TRYING TO GET MY 18 MONTH DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR SEAT. SHE DID, CAME INSIDE AND APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES LATER A NEIGHBOR SLAMMED ON MY DOOR SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WENT OUTSIDE, TRIED TO RELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH AN EXTINGUISHER, THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. THE SMOKE INCREASED, I WAS AFRAID TO POP THE HOOD DUE TO RISK OF OXYGEN EXPOSURE TO WHAT I ASSUMED WAS IN ACTIVE FIRE. 911 WAS CALLED, MINUTES LATER THE ENTIRE COMPARTMENT WAS FULLY ENGULFED WITH FLAMES. FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 45 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE DRIVESHAFT SEPARATED AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OIL PAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ENGINE OIL WAS LEAKING AND SMOKE WAS SEEN FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE INTO A SERVICE AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V713000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000. *DT*JB

I PURCHASED THE 2010 BMW 750 LI IN OCT 2017. IN APRIL 2018, I BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES AND MESSAGES CONSTANTLY POPPED UP CONCERNING ENGINE TEMP DRIVE MODERATELY AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. I KEPT THE CAR'S MAINTENANCE UP, HOWEVER, EVEN A WEEK AFTER AN OIL & FILTER CHANGE, I'D GET THE LOW OIL WARNINGS & NEEDED TO ADD OIL CONSTANTLY. OIL WAS LEAKING BAD. THE CAR WOULD GET UP TO 35-40 MPH (BETWEEN 1 & 2 RPM) & START SHAKING OR WOULDN'T SHIFT OVER. I'D HAVE TO PRESS ACCELERATOR DOWN TO ACCELERATE TO ATLEAST 70 MPH SO THE SHAKING & VIBRATION COULD STOP. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A BMW REPAIR SHOP IN 08/28/2018. IGNITION COILS, SPARK PLUGS, OIL CHANGE, FILTERS, ALL WERE REPLACED. BRAKE FLUID WAS FLUSHED AS WELL. THE OIL ISSUE NEVER STOPPED. AFTER MONTHS OF ADDING OIL EVERY FEW DAYS, THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE BMW SHOP (APRIL 2019). AT THAT POINT, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO THE BMW REPAIR SHOP DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED & THEY PERFORMED THE N63 ENGINE RECALL REPAIRS IN MAY 2019. THE SMOKING SUBSIDED, BUT IN JULY 2019, THE CAR WAS BACK IN BMW'S REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE IT HAD NOW GOTTEN THE SAME READINGS BUT IT HAD ALSO BEGUN TO SMOKE BADLY, UPON STARTING, STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. ALONG WITH ENGINE TEMP LIGHTS, AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. ENGINE TEMP LIGHT CAME ON EVERY DAY AS SOON AS I CRUNK THE CAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WOULD GO OFF IN JULY 2019, AFTER THE REPAIRS. DECEMBER 2019, ENGINE TEMP LIGHT IS STILL ON. AGAIN, SEVERAL LIGHTS ARE NOW ON. DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION ALSO AND THE CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AS BEFORE. IT'S VIBRATING AT 35 MPH. BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, THE BMW DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE CLOSED. FIRST THING TOMORROW, I WILL BE BACK THERE. I HAVE TO WORK AND AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE OUT ON ME. IT'S ALL I HAVE. I'M BASICALLY WORKING TO FIX THE CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 750LI. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BMW OF MONTEREY (1 GARY PLAZA, SEASIDE, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE COILS, INJECTORS, AND ECU WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

JUST HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE PUT IN MY 2010 BMW 750LI UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, IN AUGUST 2019. DECEMBER 2019 WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR TO GROCERY STORE AND ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED BUCKING AND SMELL OF GAS WAS OVERWHELMING. SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED ON THE 50MPH HIGHWAY AND LOST TOTAL POWER. SHE NURSED CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. IT WAS SNOWING OUT AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK FOR AN HOUR IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ASIDE FROM THE OVERWHELMING FUEL SMELL, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED, SHE WAS WAITING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR TOW TRUCK. THIS, I FOUND OUT, IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. ITS WAS A FUEL INJECTOR THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THIS IS TRUELY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC. AND AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX. BMW HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL INJECTORS, BUT SEEM TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND PROFIT HEAVILY FROM THE CUSTOMERS LOSS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL (TWO QUARTS IN A WEEK) AND THE TRUNK WAS INOPERABLE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEW COUNTRY BMW (1 WESTON PARK RD, HARTFORD, CT 06120, (860) 522-6134) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST DUE TO THE SALVAGED TITLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

IT KEEPS SAYING THE OIL IS TOO LOW EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR ONLY ONE WEEK. THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE.

I BOUGHT MY CAR AT 88,000 MILES AND I HAVE TO PUT OIL I IT EVERY 200 MILES AND THE SUSPENSION DEFLATE EVERY TIME I CUT THE CAR OFF AND SOMETIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MAKING IT A VERY ROCKY RIDE.. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE GUY THAT SOLD IT TO ME HE SAYS IT HAS A ENGINE RECALL BUT THAT'S SOMETHING HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME BEFORE I SPENT $14,650 FOR THE VEHICLE. I FEEL I BOUGHT A LEMON AND WANT WHAT FAIR. I WANT MY MONEY BACK THAT TOO MUCH TO JUST THROW AWAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AA MOTORS ARLINGTON TX

IN THE DESPITE OF THE N63 CCP PERFORMED BY THE CAR THE DEFECTIVE INJECTORS WERE NOT CHANGED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH INDEX 12 AND THEY ARE STILL INDEX 9. TODAY BMW DO NOT WANTS TO CHANGE THEM AND ASKING FOR $5000. I THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE ORIGINAL N63CCP.

ENGINE OIL LEAK; ENGINE COOLANT LEAK; BLUE SMOKE THRU TAILPIPE; STRANGE NOISES MAKING CONCERNED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE ENGINE OIL SIGN HAD ALWAYS COME ON TOO FREQUENTLY FROM THE BEGINNING OF PURCHASE ENGINE OIL COOLANT FREQUENCY DEVELOPED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND CAME TO A STAGE QUESTIONING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

SMOKE COMING OUT UNDER THE HOOD WHEN ISTOP AFTER DRIVING 8 MILES

CAR HAD FOUR INJECTORS REPLACED. WHEN DEALER WAS FINISHED WITH THE CAR THE VALET GUY WAS BRINGING THE CAR OUT ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING ROUGH, AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSIS THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE OTHER INJECTORS THAT WERE FAULTY AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THEM UNDER THEIR CUSTOMER CARE PLAN. I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR AND DEALER REFUSES TO FIX KNOWING THAT IT'S A DEFECT ON THEIR PART INSTEAD THEY WANT ME TO PAY $4000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2010 BMW 750LI BACK IN NOVEMBER 2012. AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE BEVERLY HILLS BMW LOT, I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO OFF. BEVERLY HILLS WROTE IT OFF AS IT WAS THE GAS SENSOR BEING SENSITIVE. FOUND OUT LATER IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS THAT WENT BAD ON A CAR WITH 23,000 MILES ON. FAST FORWARD 2 YEARS LATER AND 30,000 MILES, WITH MULTIPLE STOPS AT STERLING BMW AND MY COMPLAINTS OF HAVING TO PUT QUART OF OIL INTO THE ENGINE EVERY 2000 MILES. FOR 2 YEARS, STERLING ADVISED ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF ENGINE TO CONSUME THAT MUCH OIL AND FOR ALL THE OTHER ENGINE PROBLEMS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR OVER 6 TIMES (EVER OTHER MONTH ALMOST) TO THE DEALER TO FIX NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE (NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR). THEN COMES THE "RECALL" BMW CALLS THE "COMFORT CARE PACKAGE" AND WAS PROMISED IT WOULD RESOLVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE IN JANUARY 2015. AFTER THE RECALL, MY ENGINE REQUIRED OIL EVERY 500 MILES AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO BMW IN APRIL 2015, THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A HOSE LEAK AND OIL WAS DRIPPING DOWN TO EXHAUST CAUSING EXCESS SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. NOW BMW OF NORTHERN AMERICA TELLS ME THEY DON'T COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUR OF WARRANTY DESPITE MY COMPLAINTS (WHICH HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY STERLING FOR 2 YEARS). THE COMFORT CARE PACKAGE MADE MY OIL LEAK WORST AND INTO THE EXHAUST AND BMW REFUSES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OR EVEN REMOVE THEIR COMFORT CARE PACKAGE. IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 2 YEARS SINCE I AND MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN THIS EXCESS SMOKE FROM MY EXHAUST WHICH BMW REFUSES TO REPAIR. THIS ENGINE IS A COMPLETE LEMON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING THAT I HAD REDUCED POWER. MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED AND I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE RIGHT LANE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PORTION OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY THAT I WAS ON DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE GUARD RAIL WAS BROKEN AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BETWEEN THE OPENING BETWEEN THE BROKEN GUARD RAILS. I WAS NOT INJURED OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE GUARD RAIL. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN "EQUIPMENT UPDATE/CUSTOMER CONVIENCE UPGRADE" FOR THE CAR THAT WOULD REPLACE THE FAILED FUEL INJECTORS FREE OF CHARGE. I FEEL THAT THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING DISGUISED AS AN EQUIPMENT UPGRADE. LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. BMW SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE INJECTORS FAIL TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. OR WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FATALITIES TO CALL THIS WHAT IT IS .. A SAFETY HAZARD!! AS I CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS, MANY BMW OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. BMW IS ALSO TELLING ME THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLEY AND SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHUT DOWN/AND OR REDUCTION OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *JS

THE ENGINE IN THIS CAR (N63) HAS MAJOR FLAWS. AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING THIS ENGINE CAN STALL OR REDUCE POWER. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAINS, FUEL INJECTORS, VANOS SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ENGINE PARTS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE A TOTAL OF 57 DAYS SINCE APRIL 2014 FOR ENGINE FAILURE. THIS CAR WHEN FAILS WILL REDUCE POWER OR SHUT DOWN AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. BMW FAILS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. BMW IS CURRENTLY REPLACING SOME OF THE PARTS THAT THEY THINK MIGHT HAVE SOME EFFECT BUT NOT ALL DEALERS ARE ASSISTING CONSUMERS AND BMW WILL NOT RECALL THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS N63 ENGINE IS USED IN ALL BMW VEHICLES FITTED WITH A V8. *TR

AT 57,000 MILES, MY 2010 BMW 750LI NEEDED 6 OUT OF 8 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. THE FUEL INJECTORS FOR THE N63 ENGINE PLATFORM HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO A HIGH RATE OF PART FAILURE. THE PARTS WERE POORLY DESIGNED, AND ARE FAILING PREMATURELY ON VEHICLES. BMW REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS AND SHOULD PROPERLY ISSUE A RECALL. *JS

FUEL INJECTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 47,880 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY PROBLEM AND THE DEALER WANTS $5100 TO REPLACE THE INJECTORS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING A BMW 750LI 2010 ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OFF. I STEERED THE CAR QUICKLY TO THE SHOULDER. I ONLY HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALL SYSTEMS WERE NON RESPONSIVE . I WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL FOR THE TOW TRUCK. I WAS UNABLE TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE VIA THE VEHICLES CALL SYSTEM. I WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THAT ALL THE SYSTEMS ACTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WERE USELESS SINCE I HAD NO POWER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKING AROUND AND ENGINE STOPPED. WHEN TRIED TO RUN THE ENGINE IT WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY AND ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. SO I TOWED IT TO THE DEALER NEXT MORNING FOR REPAIR. AFTER REPAIR WAS DONE WHICH TOOK A WEEK I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES AND THEN WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE IT WAS SHAKING ALOT AGAIN EVERY TIME I WAS APPLYING BRAKE. I FOR SOMEHOW AVOIDING ALL STOP SIGN BY DRIVING CAREFULLY, TOOK THE CAR HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NEXT MORNING AT WHICH TIME IT WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY OR SOMETIME MOVING FORWARD FAST(JERKING MOVE) WHEN I APPLIED BRAKE OR STEP ON GAS PEDAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW 750. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, AFTER MAKING A RIGHT THE SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT.

THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A BMW, 7 SERIES 2010 WITH OEM RUN FLAT TIRES. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE LEASE TWO OF THE RUN FLAT'S DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND GAVE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE WERE SIMPLY DUE TO THE CONDITIONS IN MANHATTAN THAT THIS HAPPENED. NOW I NOTICE ANOTHER CLEAR BUBBLE FORMING ON THE SIDE OF THE THIRD TIRE AND MY TOTAL MILEAGE SO FAR IS BELOW 11,000. THIS SITUATION IS ECHOED BY 100'S OF BMW CUSTOMERS ONLINE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. BMW DOES NOT WANT YOU TO CHANGE TO NON-RUN FLAT TIRES, CITING THAT THIS WOULD BE AGAINST THE LEASE TERMS AND YET CONTINUES TO CHARGE $600 FOR EVER TIRE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS NOW JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN FREQUENT. I FEEL THAT BMW IS DOING THIS KNOWINGLY AND THIS IS A BIG SCAM. OVERALL, DESPITE THEIR SAFETY I FEEL THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE WELL KNOWN TO BE JUDGING BY 100'S OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BUT BMW CHOOSES TO REMAIN QUIET ABOUT IT. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOUR DEPARTMENT WAS TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
