BMW 525I 2007 Safety Review #10242537

BMW 525I 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 16, 2008.BMW 525I 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . ON SEPTEMBER 16,2009 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO COLLISION IN MY 2007 BMW 525I SERIES. I WAS STOPPED AT A FREEWAY EXIT OFF THE 405 S. WHERE SUDDENLY A VEHICLE THAT WAS DOING A SPEED OF NO LESS OF 50-60 MPH COLLIDED INTO THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WHICH RESULTED ME TO BE PUSHED FORWARD AT LEAST 75-100 FEET. THE FORCE AND IMPACT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS SO SEVERE, THAT IS CAUSED THE OTHER VEHICLE TO FLIP OVER MULTIPLE TIMES AND LAND ABOUT 100 YARDS AWAY FROM IMPACT. WITH SUCH AN IMPACT AND THE SPEED OF THE OTHER CAR WITHOUT HITTING THEIR BREAKS AT ALL, YOU WOULD THINK THAT NOT ONLY THE FRONT DRIVER, PASSENGER, OR REAR PASSENGER AIRBAGS (ESPECIALLY THAT WAS WERE THE IMPACT WAS) THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I ONLY SUFFERED INJURIES AND NOT DEATH AND THAT GOES FOR THE PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH. I AM ALSO THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT HAVE MY 5 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE BACKSEAT. IF SHE WAS IS THE BACKSEAT SHE WOULD HAVE NOT HER LIFE BECAUSE NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I WAS MADE AWARE THAT OVER 200,000 BMW WERE RECALLED FOR MODELS OF 2005-2006. APPARENTLY BMW HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR 2007 AND POSSIBLY 2008 OR 2009. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND MUST BE LOOKED INTO. PLEASE TAKE MY EMAIL SERIOUSLY AND TO THE HEART BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD LOSE A LIFE DUE TO INCOMPETENCE OF A MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURER ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL TO PREVIOUS YEARS AND EXACT MODELS. I DO NOT BELIEVE BMW IS MAKING THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS DEFECT WHICH MAY CAUSE UNNECESSARY INJURIES AND/OR DEATHS. I WOULD LIKE TO HOLD BMW ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ADVISED ON WHAT STEPS I MUST TAKE FOR BMW TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 2 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBANE53557C. Bmw 525i 2007 problem was reported in NORTH HILLS, CA. Accident was reported to Police. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 60 mph.

THE CONTINENTAL TIRES AKA AS " CONTITOURING CONTACT CV95" ARE WEARING OUT PRETTY BAD WITH JUST 23000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTICED WAVING INSIDE THE WALLS OF THE TIRES AND ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY STARTED TO COME APART. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON LINE REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR TIRE FROM CONTINENTAL WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINS AS MINE, AND IT APPEARS CONTINENTAL IS BLOWING PEOPLE OFF, AND THE AUTO DEALERS ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY EITHER. AS FOR ME I BELIEVE THE TIRE SENSOR ON MY BMW COULD HAVE SAVE OUR LIVES. UPON GETTING A TIRE PRESSURE READING I PULLED OVER, FELT THE TIRES AND FOUND THE LEFT REAR TIRE WITH RIPPLES AND THE INSIDE TREADING COMING APART. I HAD JUST BEEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 70 MILES WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED CONTINENTAL VIA E-MAIL AND DO NOT EXPECT ANY RESPONSE SINCE SIMILAR PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND I HEAR CONTINENTAL TIRES IS NOT RESPONDING TO PEOPLE¿S CONCERNS. THIS IS SCARY AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANKS *TR.Mileage was 23000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBANE53537C. Bmw 525i 2007 problem was reported in WEST PALM BEACH, FL.

APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE CARS COMPUTER AND WIRING IS UNDERNEATH THE SPARE TIRE. THE WATER FRIED MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR MODULE, WHICH CAUSED THE COMPUTER TO RESTART. WHEN IT RESTARTED, THE CAR SHOWED A CAR COMPUTER FAILURE. THE CAR HAS SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS STABILITY CONTROL, AND MANY OTHER SAFETY MODULES CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER. THE CARS COMPUTER, INSIDE LIGHTS, GAUGES, AND ALL MY SYSTEMS COMPLETELY RESTARTED EVERY 30-45 SECONDS, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE A DANGEROUS TOY.
