BMW X5 2008 Power Train Automatic Transmission Report #10228815

BMW X5 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 23, 2008.BMW X5 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSIONS ON THE BMW X3 MODEL. I HAVE HAD A 2007 AND NOW A 2008, THE 2007 BOUGHT BACK BY BMW DUE TO MAJOR ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT REACTIVE, AND CAUSES MAJOR HESITATION, DELAYED SHIFTING, AND AWKWARD RESPONSES FROM THE THROTTLE WHICH IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN MERGING OR PASSING ETC. THE CAR DOES NOT GET UP TO SPEED, AND AT TIMES LITERALLY "CHOKES" WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS SOMEONE BEHIND YOU CAN JUST BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND PLOW RIGHT INTO YOU. BMW HAS NO FIXES FOR THIS ISSUE AT THE MOMENT; OTHERS PER A BMW FORUM HAVE ALSO LET YOUR OFFICE KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BMW BASICALLY DOES NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUES, BUT IT DEFINITELY IS. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME, AND THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THERE ARE NO ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATES (LAST ONE DID NOTHING) TO RECTIFY THE ISSUES. THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT LET YOU SELECT AN X3 MODEL. IT IS A BMW X3. *TR .Mileage was 1000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBXPC93438W. Bmw X5 2008 problem was reported in CHESTNUT RIDGE, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.

BMW X5 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 17, 2009.BMW X5 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . MY 2008 BMW X5 IS REPORTING HIGH BATTERY DRAIN AND IT'S ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD WITH 5,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES THE ISSUE IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN AT LEAST 25 MILES A DAY. IF THIS IS A REQUIREMENT TO OWNING THE VEHICLE IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM BY BMW. YET THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED IS TO REPLACE THE BATTERY PREMATURELY AS IT FAILS OR HOOK THE BATTERY UP TO A TRICKLE CHARGER EVERY NIGHT. AS STATED ABOVE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE OR IMPENDING SAFETY THREAT. HOWEVER, BMW SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FINDING A SOLUTION FOR THE CONSUMER OR RECALLING THE VEHICLE SO WE HAVE SOME RECOURSE. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

THE GEAR SHIFTING/TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 3.0 X5 IS AN ONGOING AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM FROM DAY 1. THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE RELIABLY AND I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR COLLISIONS. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO BMW SERVICE (PORT CHESTER, NY) SINCE SEPT. 3 2008. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AT THE END OF MAY 2008. BMW SERVICE TOLD ME BMW USA WAS AWARE AND THERE WAS A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" COMING THE BEGINNING OF OCT WHICH SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER IN OCT AND WAS TOLD NO UPDATE WAS RELEASED YET. I CALLED BMW OF NORTH AMERICA ON OCT 6 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SYSTEM UPDATE RELEASED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THEY WOULD CONTACT THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER. I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES BEFORE HE RETURNED MY CALL. THE UPDATE WAS INSTALLED ON OCT 14, 2008. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO IMPROVEMENT TO THE HESITATION/STALLING. ON EACH SUBSEQUENT SERVICE VISIT I COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME ISSUE. EACH TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. I HAD A TEST DRIVE WITH THE REPAIR FOREMAN WHO ADMITTED THAT BMW WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. IT WAS A NEW SYSTEM THAT WAS DESIGNED TO GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE AND WAS "REACTIVE" TO THE OWNERS DRIVING STYLE. IT WAS NOT WORKING AND THEY DID AWAY WITH IT FOR NEW VEHICLES. THE REPAIR FOREMAN HAS SEEN MANY 2008 3.0 X5'S WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD A SECOND UPDATE WAS COMING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ON SEPT 28, 2009 THE UPDATE WAS DONE UPDATE, WHICH AGAIN DID NOTHING. I ADVISED BMW I WAS FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THIS AGENCY.WITHIN A FEW DAYS SOMEONE CALLED TO SAY THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CALL. I NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE AGAIN AT BMW SERVICE. I HAD A NEAR MISS ACCIDENT AGAIN. BMW IS HIDING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM FROM THE PUBLIC!! INTERESTINGLY, WHEN I COMPLAIN, BMW DOES NOT ENTER THE COMPLAINT INTO THEIR SYSTEM, BUT ALWAYS SAY THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. ARE THEY HIDING THESE COMPLAINTS? PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

ACTUALLY, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE BUT ONLY HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY (ONE TIME A MONTH), AND CAN BE SOLVED BY CHANGE SITTING POSITION A LITTLE BIT.

BMW X5 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 04, 2014.BMW X5 2008, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . THE 2008 X5 3.0L STARTED TO SOUND LIKE A JET ENGINE WITH THE SUPER LOUD FAN NOISE. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR, AND LUCKILY THE ENGINE HADN'T OVERHEATED YET. THEY FOUND THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS FAULTY, WHICH CAUSED THE WIRING TO BURN OUT, AND OBSERVED OIL LEAKAGE NEAR ENGINE. IF I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR ANY MORE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE. BMW SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, AND OTHER PARTS INCLUDING GASKET SOMETHING. THANK YOU..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50330 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5UXFE43538L. Bmw X5 2008 problem was reported in CENTREVILLE, VA.
