BMW 528I 1999 car safety problem was reported on June 22, 2000.BMW 528I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with STEERING . MY CAR WAS HIT (BROAD-SIDED AT A PERPENDICULAR ANGLE) BY A 16 YO IN AN 1989 CAMARO. MY BMW VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING BENDING OF THE CAR-FRAME, BLOW-OUT OF THE DRIVER'S WINDOW (THAT LANDED ON THE PASSENGER, LACERATING HIS LEG), AND SEPARATION AND RUPTURE OF THE BODY SIDE DOOR PANEL ASSEMBLY AND DOOR SHELL. I SUSTAINED BLUNT LEFT SHOULDER INJURIES AND BRUISING FROM IMPACTING THE PILLAR, AND ALSO BACK/LEG INJURIES. DESPITE THE SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT (THAT MADE BOTH LEFT-SIDE DOORS INOPERABLE), NEITHER THE SIDE NOR THE HEAD RESTRAINT AIRBAG SYSTEMS DEPLOYED, AND THE EMERGENCY CENTRAL UNLOCKING SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW AMERICA, WHO AFTER WEEKS OF UNHELPFUL SUGGESTIONS, HAD THE CAR INSPECTED. THE ENGINEERS' REPORT (WHICH TO DATE, HAS NOT BEEN SHARED WITH ME DESPITE MY REPEATED REQUESTS), STATES THAT THE IMPACT "WAS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE DEPLOYMENT" OF THE AIRBAGS. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER SUCH INSTANCES OF FAILURE REPORTED TO NHTSA? IN THE BMW ADVERTISEMENT OF THE PASSIVE REASTRAINT SYSTEM, THE SIDE (AND HEAD) AIRBAGS ARE CLEARLY CLAIMED TO BE DEPLOYED DURING SIDE IMPACTS OF LESSER SEVERITY THAN THE ONE I EXPERIENCED. ALL BMW AND MERCEDES SALES PEOPLE AND MECHANICS WHO HAVE SEEN THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WERE OF THE OPINION THAT THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE DAMAGE WITH PHOTOS. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH..Vehicle was involved in a crash. 2 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBADM634XXG.

THE FIRST TIME WAS WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR HAD UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION (RUN-AWAY VEHICLE). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN CAR AS I MERGED ONTO HIGHWAY. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS TIME, FEW DAYS AGO, EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT I REACTED MORE QUICKLY AND IT WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY, SO THE SITUATION WAS NOT AS DESPERATE. THE DEALER SAID THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DISLODGED, WHICH WAS PRECISELY WHAT OCCURED THE FIRST TIME. THEY REPAIRED IT, AS FAR AS I KNOW, BUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING LOOSE CAUSING ACCELERATOR TO GET STUCK IS A TERRIBLE, AND POSSIBLE LIFE-THREATENING HAZARD. I HOPE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I WROTE A LETTER TO THE CEO OF BMW AND HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *SW*AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBADM6340XB.

BMW 528I 1999 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Report #10106597

BMW 528I 1999 car safety problem was reported on Jan 04, 2005.BMW 528I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . I BOUGHT A 1999 BMW 528I NEW. I BROUGHT THE CAR REGULARLY INTO SERVICE BASED UPON THEIR PRESCRIBED SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THIS CAR. AT 49,600 MILES ON THE CAR AND EXACTLY 5 YEARS OLD, THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS CAR FAILED. BMW REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE WARRANTY. IN DECEMBER 2004, WITH 64,205 MILES I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP. AT 64,605 MILES, CAR BREAKS DOWN ON ROAD AND IS TOWED INTO THE BMW DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS IS THAT A NEW MOTOR IS NEEDED. THIS CAR HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE MOTOR AS A RESULT OF FAILURE OF THE OIL PUMP TO LUBRICATE THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BASICALLY BLAMED THE SITUATION ON US AND NOT THE FAILURE OF THIS BMW ENGINE THAT WAS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THEIR MAINTENANCE STANDARDS. THERE IS REAL PROBLEM WITH BMW ENGINES AND BASED UPON MY RESEARCH IT RELATES TO BOLTS ON THE OIL PUMP LOOSENING FROM THE CAR'S VIBRATION THEREBY NOT ALLOWING OIL TO BE PUMP INTO THE ENGINE. ALSO, MY REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN ANYMORE. A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 64605 miles.
