2014 BMW 528 I Xdrive 4 DR AWD

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE MELTING FROM SUN EXPOSURE. WHEN GRABBING BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND PASSENGER FRONT DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR, THE HANDLE IS MELTED, LEAVING A CRUMBLY AND GOOEY TAR ON YOUR HANDS. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY BMW OWNERS.

ON MY MORNING COMMUTE ON THE HIGHWAY (APPROX 70-75 MPH) I HEARD A LOUD BANG RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CAR, AS IF A CINDER BLOCK HAD BEEN DROPPED STRAIGHT FROM ABOVE. SHORTLY AFTER I HEARD GLASS SHARDS CRUMBLING AND THEN VISIBLY SAW THE SAME IMMEDIATELY AFTER. ONCE I PARKED, THE SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. NO EVIDENCE OF FALLEN DEBRIS OR EXTERNAL OBJECT WAS OBSERVED.

GUIRO JOINT CRACKED AND WORN AFTER 25000 MILES AS STATED BY DEALERSHIP (SOUTH SHORE BMW HINGHAM). THIS SEEMS SUSPICIOUS AS THE CAR IS GARAGED AND RARELY DRIVEN AT HIGH SPEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, IT'S REALLY APPRECIATED

AFTER PARKING THE CAR FOR EXTENDED TIME (>7HOURS), HOT WEATHER, STARTING THE CAR AND PUT IN REVERSE, BACK OUT SLOWLY THE ENGINE STALLS, TRANSMISSION FLIPS BY ITSELF TO NEUTRAL (N) AND A MESSAGE ON SCREEN STATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK, ...., THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. HAPPENING EARLIER BUT WAS ONLY SHAKING WHEN REVERSING AND ENGINE STAYS ON. NOW GOT WORSE AND ENGINE STALLS. TOOK TO BMW DEALERS (TWO OF THEM) BOTH CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE BUT SAW IT BEFORE AND NO SOLUTION FROM BMW BUT TO WAIT 15 SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE CAR TO PUT IN REVERSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 528I. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE DRIVER NOTICED OIL FLOWING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OTTO'S BMW (610)-399-6800, LOCATED AT 1275 WILMINGTON PIKE, WESTCHESTER, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT DETACHED AND DAMAGED THE OIL PAN, PUMP, AND TRANSMISSION PAN. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE, FRONT DRIVESHAFT, AND TRANSMISSION PAN BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

TWO OF FOUR WHEELS ON THIS VEHICLE WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED ON THE INBOARD FLANGE/BEAD SEAT AREA. THESE CRACKS WERE FOUND DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE FOR TIRE ROTATION. THERE WAS NO DEGRADATION IN THE VEHICLE'S HANDLING OR PERFORMANCE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN JAN 2014, HAS 110K MILES AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. TIRES HAVE NEVER BEEN DAMAGED IN ANYWAY - WEAR OUT REPLACEMENTS ONLY.

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER RESTRAINT SYSTEM IT HAS A MALFUNCTION WHERE IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE NOTIFIES NOT ONLY THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BUT ALSO THE BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS

UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE ON DRIVER SIDE WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND ENGINE IS OFF. ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS WON'T UNLOCK. HAD TO CLIMB OUT PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS NOT EASY AT ALL. COULD BE A PROBLEM IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND ONE NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. I COULD SEE SOMEONE BEING TRAPPED IF THEY COULD NOT PHYSICALLY GET OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO EXIT.

THE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER SIDE STOPS WORKING: IT STUCK IN THE UPPER POSITION AND CANNOT BE LOWERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 528I. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED "STEERING DRIVE MODERATELY". THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW 528I. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS HYDRO LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY, WITH A LOUD NOISE, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED INTO PIECES. THE WEATHER OUT WAS LITTLE WARM BUT NOT HOT (THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WILL BE AROUND 90 F). I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR ALMOST 45 MINS WITH MY A/C ON. I DIDNT NOTICE ANY PEBBLE OR OBJECT HITTING THE CAR. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND DID A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FOUND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HIT THE CAR/WIND SHIELD/OR BODY. THE SUNROOF JUST SHATTERED..I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED ANYTHING WRONG WITH SUN ROOF.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND A FEW MINUTES LATER SAW SMOKE FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A HOLE BURNT IN THE SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY REPAIRED A CONNECTOR AND GIVES NO FURTHER DESCRIPTION. THIS REPAIR IS NOT DOCUMENTED ON THE RECEIPT AND THE DAMAGE TO THE SEAT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE SEAT COVER IS NOT AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT POSSIBLY SEVERAL MONTHS FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COMPLETE. NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE HEATED SEATS WERE NOT TURNED ON, HOWEVER, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS BODILY HARM. *JS
