BMW X3 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 15, 2006.BMW X3 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM . SINCE PURCHASE OF MY 2007 BMW X3 IN NOV 2006 THE ENGINE HESITATED PERIODICALLY WHEN IACCELLERATING. I HAVE TAKEN TIRES TO THE BMW SERVICE CENTER, WHO DROVE THE CAR AND AGREED THEIR WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE MANY CARS WITHIN A CERTAIN LOT OF VIN NUMBERS , WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND MY VIN NUMBER FALLS WITHIN THIS LOT. I WAS ALSO TOLD AT THIS TIME, BMW HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CAR HESITATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS IS A PERIODIC OCCURANCE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE GETS THE FUEL BUT THEN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. BMW SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD KEEP IN CONTACT WITH ME ABOUT FIXING THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM IN OVER ONE MONTH. I LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE LAST WEEK AND HAVE NOT HAD A RETURN CALL. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE? THANK YOU.*AK.Mileage was 1000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBXPC93447W. Bmw X3 2007 problem was reported in CINCINNATI, OH.

WE HAD A NEW 2007 BMW X3 THAT HAD HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WAS VERY SCARY - THE CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN YOU WANTED IT TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD SEEM TO LOSE POWER AT TIMES - A REAL DISASTER AND SAFETY CONCERN. BMW WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE - TOLD US ALL SORTS OF NONSENSE ABOUT US NOT KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE. INITIALLY THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A MONTH CLAIMING THEY NEEDED SOFTWARE. THEN THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THAT STILL DIDN'T FIX THE CAR. WE SENT THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE AGAIN, AND AFTER ANOTHER MONTH THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. FINALLY, AFTER JERKING US AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, THEY AGREED TO SWAP THE CAR OUT FOR A 2008, BUT EVEN THEN, THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED WAS ABOMINABLE. THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE DEALING WITH BMW, THEY KEPT ACTING LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEMS WE WERE HAVING, YET A SIMPLE SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALED THE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. OBVIOUSLY, BMW IS TRYING TO AVOID A RECALL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Bmw X3 2007 problem was reported in ARLINGTON, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2007 BMW X3 (GM6 TRANSMISSION) HESITATES IN ACCELERATION DURING DRIVE MODE. IT HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO MAKE A FAST LANE CHANGE. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED TODAY.

IN RELYING ON THE TRANSMISSION TO SAFELY SLOW THE CAR IT PRACTICALLY FORCES YOU INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER CAR OR DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO SAFE SLOW THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO USE HARD BREAKING.

BMW X3 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 09, 2009.BMW X3 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . 2007 BMW X3 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO BMW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE SPRING OF 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN A MONTH (TOTAL FROM NUMEROUS VISITS). AT A STOP LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION WILL OCCASIONALLY SURGE & IF NOT FOR FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE THAT SURGE WOULD THROW ME INTO THE CAR AHEAD. IT HAS SURGED WHEN PARKING ALMOST RAMMING ME INTO THE SIDE OF A BUILDING. I ALMOST WENT THROUGH A FILE CABINET AND INTO THE WALL IN MY GARAGE YESTERDAY. HESITATES WHEN CHANGING LANES & THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES. ALMOST RAMMED FROM THE REAR AT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN TRANSMISSION HESITATED & WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WILL REV AND THE TRANSMISSION WON'T KICK IN FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET. THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION IS DANGEROUS. I'VE BEEN TRYING INCESSANTLY TO GET BMW TO HELP ME FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. ALL LEVELS SAY THEY WILL HELP BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS SHORT OF A TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMING WHICH DOESN'T ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM...AND THEY KNOW IT. BMW STATES THE "VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED". WHAT A STUNNING ADMISSION! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND QUITE EASY TO VERIFY. SERVICE MANAGERS ADMIT THE PROBLEM TOO...AND BMW IS SAYING THEY DESIGNED THE VEHICLE THIS WAY??? WHO HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF? BMW HAD A REGIONAL TECH ENGINEER EVALUATE MY VEHICLE. HE SAYS IT'S "OPERATING AS DESIGNED". HE ALSO SAID THERE ARE NO 'FAULTS'. A SERVICE MGR ONCE TOLD ME THAT 'FAULTS' DON'T ALWAYS REGISTER IN THE COMPUTER SO HAVING 'NO FAULTS' ISN'T UNUSUAL. BY THE WAY, BMW HAD ME TAKE THE CAR IN TO GET REPROGRAMMED SHORTLY "BEFORE" THAT REGIONAL TECH DID HIS EVALUATION. YES, THEY REPROGRAMMED IT "THEN" SENT HIM IN! NOTHING WAS FOUND? GO FIGURE! WHAT COULD I DO? IT'S A LEASED VEHICLE. I COULDN'T JUST SELL IT OR TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. WHY DO THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME WHEN IT WOULD COST NEXT TO NOTHING. THEY LOVE MY $$$. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBXPC93477W. Bmw X3 2007 problem was reported in LOVELAND, OH.

WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM LOW SPEEDS THERE IS BARELY ANY ACCELERATION IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR UNDER 2,000 RPMS, BUT WHEN 3RD GEAR GOES IN CAR ACCELERATES MORE THAN DESIRED MOST OF THE TIME.

THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME AS THIS USUALLY HAPPENS DURING TURNS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND WHEN YOU WANT TO ACCELERATE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD TO PRESS ON THE PEDAL, IF YOU PRESS TOO MUCH CAR JUMPS AHEAD, IF NOT ENOUGH YOU BARELY MOVE. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS YOU CAN HEAR A FAINT THUMP OF EVERY DOWNSHIFT SOMEWHERE UNDER THE VEHICLE AND A LITTLE SURGE FORWARD.

BMW X3 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 26, 2010.BMW X3 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, BMW HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER AND MOST RECENTLY "LIMP-HOME" MODE OCCURRENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRIVETRAIN ON THE 2007 BMW X3. THE SYMPTOMS 1ST PRESENTED ITSELF AS A LOSS OF POWER FROM A START. UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND THEN RESPONDED WITH A SURGE OR LURCHING FORWARD. THIS MAKES FOR UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUSLY ERRATIC VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS (+4) AND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALONG WITH THE SOUND OF GEAR OR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE, THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY DID SOME TYPE OF ECU UPDATE THAT APPEARED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

BMW X3 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 12, 2010.BMW X3 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO HESITATE @ LOW GEARS, ESPECIALLY AT INITIAL ACCELERATIONS WHILE STOPPED @ A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HESITATES,CAR JOLTS TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT GEAR. THE CAR THEN JUMPS INTO A HIGHER GEAR AND DANGEROUSLY ACCELERATES RAPIDLY. IN ADDITION, WHEN DRIVING ON A STEEP DOWNHILL DECLINE, THE CAR ADJUSTS WELL; HOWEVER, WHEN TRANSITIONING TO A LEVEL SURFACE STREET AFTER A STEEP DOWNHILL, THE GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR (I.E., WAS STUCK IN PREVIOUS GEAR). ON 6/14/2010, TOOK CAR TO DEALER. THEY "PERFORMED BMW DIAGNOSIS CONTROL UNIT FUNCTION, THERE IS NO FAULT RECORD IN CONTROL UNIT, AND AT TEST DRIVE I9 COULD NOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME." NO FIX WAS PROVIDED. AFTER YEARS OF MINOR JOLTS WHEN ACCELERATING (I BELIEVE IN 1ST AND 2ND) & THEN A RAPID KICK ACCELERATION TO 3RD, NO MAJOR INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED BUT SAFETY ON ROAD HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I HAVE LEARNED TO EASE INTO ACCELERATIONS WITH THIS CAR AND DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF UNEXPECTED HESITATIONS/ACCEL. ON 1/14/2012, I HAD A CLOSE CALL ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AFTER I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AS I PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT, THE CAR HESITATED & STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, THEN JERKED FORWARD AND YELLOW TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN "P" & TURNED ENGINE OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON AND TRANNY LIGHT REMAINED ON AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN "D"; HOWEVER, IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO "REVERSE." IT TOOK THREE ATTEMPTS (ON/OFF ENGINE) AND THE CAR WENT INTO "D" WITH HESITATION. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME AND CAR STALLED AT THE NEXT LIGHT. WAS STUCK IN MIDDLE OF ROAD FOR 2 MINUTES TRYING TO GET IT IN GEAR. "D" FINALLY WORKED. I PARKED IN A LOT, TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR 15 MINUTES. CAR HAS BEEN WORKING OK REST OF DAY BUT IT IS NOT SAFE! THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS!!!!! *TR.Mileage was 38800 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBXPC93497W. Bmw X3 2007 problem was reported in LOS ANGELES, CA.

WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER WHO TOLD US THAT THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS FOR A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FEATURE WOULD CAST ABOUT $1000.00, WHICH IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE THAT HAS NOW BECOME A LIABILITY. BMW HAS HAD A RECALL ON PRIOR MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I ASSUME NOW IT IS NOT CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT. THIS SHOULD BE MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL EVENT AND ANY INFLUENCE THE NHTSA MAY HAVE ON THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IN MY OPINION. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME LETTING ME VENT. I HOPE THAT YOU SEE FIT TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBXPC93447W. Bmw X3 2007 problem was reported in CHARLESTON, SC.

BMW X3 2007 Safety Review #10561948

BMW X3 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 27, 2013.BMW X3 2007, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . SEVERE ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION ON 2007 BMW E83 X3. ONCE THE ENGINE HAS REACHED NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE MORE NOTICEABLE. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY TO THROTTLE INPUT WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP. SEVERAL HESITATIVE JERKS ARE FELT AND THEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY. OFTEN TIMES DURING THIS SEQUENCE, THE EXHAUST EMITS A HUGE PLUME OF SMOKE, BLINDING DRIVERS BEHIND THE VEHICLE. UPON DECELERATION, MY VEHICLE MAY DOWNSHIFT HASHLY, GENERATING A FORWARD SURGE OF ACCELERATION BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO MATCH ENGINE REVS WITH THE LOWER GEAR; I HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED THIS PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTIC AT LOW SPEEDS (<20 MPH). ALSO WHILE DECELERATING, MY VEHICLE MAY LOSE POWER, WHICH RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE A DECELERATION RATE THAT "TRIGGERS" THIS BEHAVIOR. I AM A TEST ENGINEER AND A PERFORMANCE DRIVING INSTRUCTOR WITH BMW CCA.
