BMW 530XI 2006 Safety Review #10423978

BMW 530XI 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2011.BMW 530XI 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . THE BMW VEHICLES WITH PANORAMIC MOONROOFS HAVE A KNOWN FAILURE (SEE BIMMERFEST.COM) IN THE WATER SEALS AND DRAIN CHANNELS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUNROOF. THE ISSUE IS THAT CLOGGED LINES PRODUCE FLOODING IN THE ELECTRICAL COMPARTMENT. THIS FLOODING CAUSES TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. IN MY CASE, THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND DID NOT START AGAIN. HOWEVER, A READ OF THE MESSAGE BOARDS ASSOCIATED WITH BMWS SHOWS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOTAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND THAT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP COMPLETELY. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO MANUALLY STEER A BMW ONCE THE ELECTRICAL GOES OFF. *TR.Mileage was 58500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBANN73556C. Bmw 530xi 2006 problem was reported in CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.

ON TUESDAY MAY 29TH WE HAD A RAIN STORM, THE NEXT DAY I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN TO GO TO A SOCCER GAME. FIVE MINUTES BEFORE ENTERING THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE MY VEHICLE WENT INTO TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND MY STEERING LOCKED. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT 25MPH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL MY VEHICLE OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO OUR LOCAL BMW DEALER WHICH FOUND THAT THE CASSETTE ON THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF TO BE DEFECTIVE....THAT CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF WATER TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND GO UNDER THE SPARE TIRE IN THE REAR WHERE ALL THE ELECTRICAL IS. I PUT A COMPLAINT INTO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA BECAUSE A. THE ELECTRICAL SHOULD NOT BE PUT UNDER THE SPARE TIRE WHERE WATER COULD GET IN AND B. I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE TURNPIKE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH, I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY BECAUSE IF I WAS ON THE MASS PIKE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. IT WAS 2498 TO FIX THE ISSUE, BMW WAS WILLING TO PAY HALF AND RELOCATE ALL THE ELECTRICAL TO A SAFER MORE DRYER PLACE. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER BECAUSE I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BMW NEEDS TO RELOCATE THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO A SAFER AREA THAN UNDERNEATH THE SPARE TIRE. BMW OF NORTH AMERICA WAS EXTREMELY RUDE WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE, IT WAS BASICALLY "NOTHING HAPPENED TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, SO WE KNOW IT"S A PROBLEM, SO WE WILL PAY FOR HALF OF IT". I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO SAFEGUARD OTHER BMW DRIVERS WHO HAVE SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53586 miles.

BMW 530XI Engine

BMW 530XI 2006 Safety Review #10543772

BMW 530XI 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 14, 2013.BMW 530XI 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ENGINE . BMW OVER-TORQUED THE FOUR CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS ON ALL N52 ENGINES DURING MANUFACTURE, INCLUDING MY CAR. THE BOLT HEADS ARE POPPING OFF ON ALL THE CARS, RESULTING IN POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE AT SPEED AND MINIMALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIR COSTS. THE ISSUE IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT IN HOW BMW BUILT THESE ENGINES (AFFECTING MANY, MANY 5 SERIES CARS) BUT IS TAKING ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE OR ANYTHING OWNER-RELATED -- IT'S PURELY A MISTAKE BY BMW THAT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND TO COVER REPAIR COSTS. THEY CORRECTED THE SPECS THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND DON'T TORQUE THE BOLTS AS MUCH, BUT ARE LEAVING PREVIOUS OWNERS OUT TO DRY FOR SOME $3000-5000 IN REPAIR COSTS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE BMW TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TO RETRO-ACTIVELY REIMBURSE PEOPLE FOR THIS MISTAKE OF THEIRS. THANKS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 34800 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBANN73596C. Bmw 530xi 2006 problem was reported in PLEASANTON, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
