2010 Bmw X5 Fuel System Problems

Your 2010 BMW X5 wouldn't shut off properly when you tried to turn it off after starting, with no warning lights to alert you to the problem. A mechanic found metal shavings in the engine and discovered the oxygen sensor heater had failed. This issue occurred even though the previous owner had already had a recall repair done for the fuel system.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) PROBLEMS FOR YEARS. HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS FROM THE EGR SYSTEM. BMW FIRST CHARGED ME OVER $1500 FOR A REPAIR THAT DID NOT WORK. THEN THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE SYSTEM AND SAID IT WAS "UNDER WARRANTY" WHEN THE PROBLEM RESURFACED . NOW THE DIAGNOSTICS ARE AGAIN SAYING THE EGR SYSTEM IS FAULTING AND CAUSING THE CEL AGAIN. I FEEL BMW NEEDS TO RECALL THIS SYSTEM AND CONTINUALLY REPAIR IT AS IT IS AN ENGINEERING FAULT OF THEIRS

CAR STALLS AT HIGH SPEED, FUEL PUMP WARNINGS LIGHT COMES ON. CAR WILL RESET AFTER 30 MINS BUT WILL CONTINUE TO SHUT OFF DURING DRIVING. BOTH FUEL PUMPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AN OPEN RECALL 18V-336 SINCE MAY OF 2018 . THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO PROVIDE A REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN WILL A REMEDY BE PROVIDED? IT SEEM ALMOST A YEAR WOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO FIX THIS DEFECT .

THE BMW DEALER DID TEST AND DIAGNOSIS OF COUPLE DAYS AND RESPOND WITH "WE CANNOT DUPLICATE OF PROBLEM", SO THEY RETURN MY CAR TO ME WITH UNSAFE CONDITION.

I HAD THE FUEL HEATER REPLACED AND BATTERY ON MY BMW X5-35D A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AT CONSIDERABLE COST. THE ENGINE WAS ALSO THROWING THE FUEL HEATER ACTIVATION CODE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE REPAIR. I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED OF RECALL 13V-339 THAT COVERS THIS PART FOR THIS EXACT REASON WITH A BUILD DATE WINDOW MERE WEEKS FROM THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE. THE BUILD DATE RANGE ON THIS RECALL IS JUNE 13, 2009- NOVEMBER 9, 2009. THE BUILD DATE FOR MY VIN IS LISTED AS DECEMBER 2009. BMW DID NOT COVER DESPITE THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILD DATE AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA.DOT.GOV WEBSITE FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES WITH A DECEMBER 2009 BUILD DATE'

THE FUEL FILTER HEATER WAS RECALLED (RECALL NO. 13V-339). WE HAD TO HAVE OUR FUEL FILTER HEATER REPLACED AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS FOR VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM 6/2009 - 11/2009 AND OUR CAR WAS PRODUCED IN 12/2009. WE HAD OUR FUEL FILTER HEATER REPLACED BECAUSE WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WHEN WE TOOK TO DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A NEW FUEL FILTER HEATER, THEREFORE WE FEEL WE ARE INTITLLED TO THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BMW X5. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FUEL WAS LEAKING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING COVER CASES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HITS 100 DEGREES AS IT DOES IN THE DESERT 5 MONTHS OR SO PER YEAR, THE INTERIOR CABIN FILLS UP WITH VERY HARMFUL GAS FUMES. WE OWNED A 2008 AND THE SAME SITUATION. AS A RESULT OF THIS AND PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON THE 2008, THE DEALERSHIP BOUGHT THE CAR BACK. MY HUSBAND REALLY WANTED ANOTHER BMW AND WHEN HE WAS LOOKING AT BUYING THE 2010 HE WAS TOLD ALL THE PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE GAS FUMES HAD BEEN RESOLVED. NOT SO. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO SERVICE TWICE FOR THE GAS FUMES AND NO ONE CAN SHED ANY LIGHT ON THE SITUATION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AS THE FUMES WILL KNOCK YOU OUT. THE CAR HAS TO SIT ON THE DRIVEWAY AND AIR OUT FOR A FEW DAYS. YOU CAN'T PARK IN THE GARAGE AS THE GAS FUMES ENTER THE HOUSE. FOR A CAR OF THIS CALIBER IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. PLUS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
