BMW 335I US 2011 Safety Review #10392606

BMW 335I US 2011 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2011.BMW 335I US 2011, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I HAVE A NEW BMW X3 35I. WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT A STEADY PACE, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS FOR "BRAKE FAILURE", "ALB FAILURE" AND "DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL FAILURE" ALL CAME ON. THE CARS COMPUTER DISPLAY ALSO DISPLAYED A BRAKE AND AWD SYSTEM FAILURE AND SPECIFIED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY AND CAREFULLY DRIVEN TO A DEALER. AFTER CAREFULLY EVALUATING THE BARKING SYSTEM, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE BRAKES AND AWD SYSTEMS WERE FULLY FUNCTIONAL, AND THERE WAS NO FAILURE. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN RE-STARTING, THE ERROR "CLEARED" AND ALL DISPLAYS WERE NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY. I'VE SPOKEN WITH (2) OTHER 2011 X3 OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEIR DEALERS ALSO CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE/\.. THE DANGER HERE IS THAT OWNERS WILL IGNORE THE WARNING WHEN A TRUE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE FINALLY OCCURS. BMW CLAIMS THE CAR IS "TOO NEW" FOR THEM TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT'S BRAKE AND STABILITY CONTROL RELATED, I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND NEED MORE ATTENTION THAN BMW IS GIVING IT. *TR.Mileage was 475 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5UXWX7C5XBL. Bmw 335i Us 2011 problem was reported in TINLEY PARK, IL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 25 mph.

BMW 335I US 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 05, 2011.BMW 335I US 2011, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . DELAY IN DCT/THROTTLE ENGAGEMENT AFTER SLOWING TO A ROLL, THEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS- THE DELAY IS BETWEEN 1-2SECONDS, AND I KNOW SOME OTHER FOLKS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. S-MODE PLUS SPORT BUTTON, ELIMINATED THIS PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS WHEN I'VE SLOWED TO A STOP, THEN WANT TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS SCARED TWICE, AND NOW HAVE BECOME AN "OLD MAN DRIVER" ACCORDING TO MY GIRLFRIEND, I DO NOT PULLOUT IN FRONT OF CARS UNLESS I KNOW THE DELAY OF 1-2SEC WON'T BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR .Mileage was 6000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBADX1C5XBE. Bmw 335i Us 2011 problem was reported in HILLSBORO, OR. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

BMW 335I US 2011 Safety Review #10416371

BMW 335I US 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 30, 2011.BMW 335I US 2011, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with WHEELS . MY REAR TIRE SLOWLY STARTED TO LOSE AIR PRESSURE DURING FREEWAY COMMUTING IN LOS ANGELES AREA. SAVAGE BMW IN ONTARIO COULDN'T AT FIRST DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND SUGGESTED IT WAS A TIRE LEAK AND TO TAKE IT TO A TIRE SHOP. THE TIRE SHOP FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE AND SAID TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM BY DUNKING IT INTO A WATER TANK....A CRACKED RIM...CRACKED ON THE INSIDE....THIS WAS CAUSING THE AIR TO LEAK OUT MORE AND MORE AS I DROVE. IT WAS TO THE POINT THAT I WAS FILLING UP AIR EVERY DAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I PROBABLY HIT A POTHOLE AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO I FIGURED THEY WERE RIGHT AND PAID FOR THE NEW RIM. NOW SEVERAL MONTHS LATER (AND DOING VERY CAREFUL DRIVING TO ENSURE I DON'T HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ROUGH SURFACES), I FOUND THE OTHER REAR TIRE DOING THE SAME THING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO CREVIER BMW AND TOLD THEM I SUSPECTED IT MIGHT BE CRACKED TOO. THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED AIR, AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. TODAY (THE VERY NEXT DAY), I DROVE TO WORK AND MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR SAID THE SAME TIRE WAS LOW. I IMMEDIATELY ADDED AIR 46 PSI PER BMW DOOR LABEL...AND GOT ON FWY TO GO HOME. WITHIN 5 MINUTES ON THE FWY, MY WHEEL WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE VIBRATION AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO COME APART. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF FWY AND GOT A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME BACK TO DEALER. AFTER A HEATED DEBATE WITH BMW SERVICE MANAGER, THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T PAY FOR MY TOW, NOR THE WHEEL (IF IT IS CRACKED)...AND THAT ITS DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS. PREPOSTEROUS! I BABY MY CAR, ESPECIALLY AFTER PAYING FOR THE 1ST RIM. I AM FURIOUS THAT BMW IS IGNORING AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE WHEEL DESIGN. I'VE OWNER SEVERAL BMW CARS AND OTHER LOW PROFILE TIRE/WHEEL AUTOMOBILES...DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS....AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. IM VERY CONCERNED THAT 1) A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IS BEING IGNORED AND 2) THAT IM NOT RECEIVING FAIR TREATMENT. I WILL RETRIEVE THE RIM AND TIRE FOR PROOF. *TR.Mileage was 26000 miles. Bmw 335i Us 2011 problem was reported in IRVINE, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.

MY RIGHT REAR TIRE KEPT LEAKING AIR, SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A TIRE SHOP.
