BMW 530I 2005 Safety Review #10128342

BMW 530I 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 26, 2005.BMW 530I 2005, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE . I BOUGHT A 2005 BMW 530I IN JANUARY OF 2005. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I NOTICED THAT THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN A PASSENGER OF THE CORRECT HEIGHT AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENT WOULD BE SEATED IN THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO IRVINE BMW AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN IN FOUR TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE (3 TIMES ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY COMBINED INVOICES). ON ONE OCCASION (WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR) A BMW SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME, "EVEN IF THE LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL MOST LIKELY GO OFF ANYWAY." (CLEARLY, THIS TYPE OF COMMENT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT BMW LACKS SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS). I HAVE CONTACTED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THEY FINALLY GOT INVOLVED ON THE FOURTH SERVICE ATTEMPT IN WHICH THEY CLAIM TO HAVE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SENSORY MAT WITH AN "OLD-STYLE MAT." NOW THE LIGHT DOES NOT ACTIVATE AT ALL, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE DISCONNECTED THE LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ANOTHER BMW DEALERSHIP THAT THE COMPUTER IS CLEARLY NOT READING WHETHER OR NOT A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR, AND THAT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE; AND THAT IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS MAY NOT GO OFF AS WELL (IN AN ACCIDENT). I HAVE REQUESTED THAT I BE GIVEN A NEW VEHICLE OF EQUAL VALUE, BUT MY REQUESTS HAVE BEEN DENIED. BMW SEEMS TO EXPECT ME TO CONTINUE USING AN UN-SAFE LEMON, PLACING MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED A LEMON-LAW ATTORNEY, BUT I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBANA73505B. Bmw 530i 2005 problem was reported in LAGUNA HILLS, CA. Original Owner. Vehicle was purchased on 20050107. Vehicle was using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.Vehicle was using Cruise Control.Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS.

WHEN I MEAN BY POPPED OPEN, IT GOES FROM DOOR FULLY CLOSED & LOCKED TO PARTIALLY OPEN, AS IF THE DOOR WASN'T COMPLETELY SHUT. WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE "DOOR OPEN" SIGNAL CAME UP IMMEDIATELY AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME UP. I TOLD A LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THE DOOR ACTUATOR IS BAD, AND I SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF $500.00, WHICH SEEMED UNFAIR WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE A SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.

I HAVE KEPT UP THE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AND AS I MENTION ABOVED I PURCHASE A PRE- CERTIFIED VEHICLE AND I HAVE NEVER HAS A VEHICLE TO NEED A TRANSMISSION THIS SOON.

BMW 530I Engine

BMW 530I 2005 Safety Review #10565394

BMW 530I 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 12, 2014.BMW 530I 2005, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ENGINE . I HAVE LEFT MY CAR AT THE AIRPORT FOR A 2 DAY BUSINESS TRIP. WHEN I DROVE BACK FROM THE AIRPORT, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, I SAW A BIG PLUME OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR. THE ENGINE KIND OF HESITATED BUT DIDNT' STALL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A SAFE PLACE AND CHECK THE OIL DIPSTICK. THERE WAS NO OIL LEFT IN THE OIL COMPARTMENT. WHEN THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN I SAW BLACK LIQUID DRIPPING OFF THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE CAR SMELLED LIKE BURNT OIL. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME TO TOW IT TO AVOID ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FROZEN OIL SEPARATOR THAT CREATED A VACUUM LOCK AND PUSHED THE OIL TO BURN THRU THE ENGINE AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. FROM FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR AND LOOKING INTO BMW POSTING FORUMS I REALIZED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE NOW WITH BMWS IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT BMW HAS RELEASED IN FEB 2009 A SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN SIB 11 08 03 THAT RECOGNIZED, THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART MAY FAIL IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND RECOMMENDED TO BMW SERVICE DEPTS REPLACEMENT WITH A NEW BETTER DESIGNED PART. HOWEVER, BMW DID NOT TAKE THE STEP TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN OR COULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT. IF I KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN FEB 2009, WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT AT NO COST AND THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THRU THIS NEARLY DESTRUCTIVE INCIDENT. I NOW HAD TO INCUR THIS $1300 REPAIR COST AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD MECHANICALLY INCUR WITH THIS CAR IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION.THE RESALE VALUE OF THE CAR HAS ALSO GONE DOWN AS WELL. I FEEL BMW HAS ACTED IRRESPONSIBLY, IF NOT CRIMINALLY, TO NOT NOTIFY AFFECTED CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE DRIVING IN THE INTERSTATE AND HAVING A STALLED ENGINE AT 60 MILES AN HOUR..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78850 miles.
