BMW X5 2009 Engine And Engine Cooling Report #10305662
BMW X5 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 04, 2010.BMW X5 2009, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . THIS ISSUE IS FOR A 2009 BMW X5 3.5D (DIESEL) SUV. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A NEAR OR ROLLING STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY WHILE TURNING, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL WITHOUT POWER FOR UP TO 3 SECONDS. SCENARIO: PULL UP TO AN INTERSECTION FOR A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, SLOW TO A NEAR STOP, THEN ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE JUST ROLLS FORWARD WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO PULL AWAY QUICKLY. MEANWHILE, TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING YOU AT SPEED AND AN ACCIDENT COULD EASILY OCCUR. VOLKSWAGEN DIESEL VEHICLES HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) SYSTEM RECENT. THE KEY FACTOR MAY BE OPERATING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING A TURN, WHICH INVOKES DSC. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2009. *TR.Mileage was 5000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5UXFF03559L. Bmw X5 2009 problem was reported in LEESBURG, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. FUEL TYPE: DIESEL. VEHICLE SPEED: 2 mph.

BMW X5 2009 Latches/locks/linkages Report #10339251
BMW X5 2009 car safety problem was reported on June 18, 2010.BMW X5 2009, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . MY WIFE HAD A HARROWING EXPERIENCE WITH THE 09 BMW-X5 LOCKING ITSELF WITH THE KEY IN THE CAR. REMOTE KEY WAS INSIDE THE CAR IN HER PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT- UNTOUCHED BY ANYONE. CAR WAS PARKED WITH ENGINE OFF. CAR LOCKED ITSELF AFTER OUR TWO KIDS WERE SECURED IN THE BACKSEATS AND THEIR DOORS SHUT WITH MY WIFE OUTSIDE! IT WAS OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND SHE DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO CALL FOR HELP. MY 5 YEAR OLD'S ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE DOOR RESULTED IN ALARM GOING OFF AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. FINALLY, BY LUCK, SHE WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE 5 YEAR OLD TO GET TO THE FRONT SEAT AND LOCATE THE KEY FROM THE PURSE AND UNLOCK THE CAR. IF IT WAS ONLY THE 2 YEAR OLD INSIDE, SHE HAD NO OPTION BUT TO BREAK THE WINDOW! THIS IS A REALLY SCARY SITUATION FOR A LUXURY CAR AND A BRAND NEW ONE. IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO US. SURELY WE DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN AND WISH IT ON NO ONE ELSE! WE SUSPECT THAT IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONICS. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. THE REMOTE KEY IN THESE CARS ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK ITSELF WITH THE KEY INSIDE THE CAR AND THE DRIVER OUT! *TR.Mileage was 18500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5UXFE835X9L. Bmw X5 2009 problem was reported in KANSAS CITY, MO. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

ON 10/28/13, I WAS ON A TWO LANE COUNTY ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 45, TRAVELLING AT 45MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE OVERHEATING LIGHT CAME UP ON THE PANEL, ADVISING ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE WARNING LIGHT ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE HAD OVERHEATED AND TO PULL OVER ASAP. WHILE TRYING TO FIND A SAFE SHOULDER, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, SO THERE WAS NO MORE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, GLIDING. WHILE TRYING TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, SO THAT I WAS UNABLE TO OPERATE THE WINDOWS OR ANY OTHER FUNCTIONS.

I ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THE MATTER WITH BMW NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMER RELATIONS, THE SUPERVISOR THERE ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH BMW, BUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT MY VIN NUMBER HAD NOT BEEN LISTED BY THE NSTB ON THE RECALL, AND THAT IT WAS THEREFORE THE GOVERNMENT'S FAULT!
