2011 Bmw X5 Other Problems

Your car's sunroof window suddenly shattered while you were driving on the highway, with no apparent cause. No collision or impact preceded the break. The repair will likely involve replacing the entire sunroof glass panel.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE, BEING A DIESEL, REQUIRES NOX TRAP SYSTEM AND SCR SYSTEMS IN ORDER TO REDUCE HARMFUL EMISSIONS PER EPA STANDARDS. IN ORDER FOR THE SCR SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY, THE ENGINE MUST INJECT DEF (DIESEL-EXHAUST FLUID) INTO THE SCR SYSTEM. IN THE BMW X5 35D, THE DEF SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF TWO TANKS: THE ACTIVE TANK AND THE PASSIVE TANK. A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THE PRIMARY SENSOR OF THE PASSIVE TANK FAILING. THE SENSOR ITSELF FAILS, BUT THE ENTIRE TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE SENSOR'S ISSUES, RESULTING IN SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BEING SPENT DUE TO THE SENSOR ITSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO BE REPLACED IN THE ORIGINAL TANK. RECALL IS RECOMMENDED FOR BMW TO REPLACE THESE SENSORS AS THE FAILURE OF THESE SENSORS RESULTS IN THE SCR CATALYST SYSTEM FAILING TO OPERATE, WHICH IN TURN SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES ENGINE PERFORMANCE, INCREASES EXHAUST EMISSIONS, AND RESULTS IN THE ENGINE NOT KNOWING THE CAPACITY ON WHICH TO OPERATE. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS.

BURNING SMELL COMING FROM FAULTY/LEAKY EGR COOLER. EGR COOLER IS LEAKING INTERNALLY AND MIXING WITH SOOT AND BEING EXPELLED ONTO FRONT TIMING COVER. NOTICED SMELL AFTER LAST SERVICE 11/29/19. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE 1/13/2020. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE (RECALLED) WITH BMW DIESELS MANUFACTURED 2010 -2017 IN THE USA AND ALSO EUROPE AND KOREA. THE MANUFACTURER DATES NEED TO BE EXTEND AS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES OUTSIDE THE CURRENT RECALL DATES.

I AM HAVING AN EXHAUST LEAK INTO MY CABIN. I ALREADY REPLACED THE EGR COOLER AND IT WENT AWAY, BUT NOW THE SMELL IS BACK.

DROVE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE BMW DEALER FOR COOLANT LEAK/WATER PUMP SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORM ME THE CAR STALLED DURING A STANDARD TEST DRIVE AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. THE WERE UNABLE TO SPECIFY WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL AND DID NOT RELEASE DIAGNOSTICS TO ME BUT TOLD ME THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. NY STATE DEPT OF VEHICLE FORWARDED A REPORT STATING VANOS FAULTS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY BMW RECALLS FOR ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRIC AUXILIARY WATER PUMP FAILURE, AND AN UNSPECIFIED RECALL FOR VANOS BOLTS UNIT THAT LOOSEN OR BREAK OVER TIME CAUSING THE ENGINE TO HAVE REDUCED POWER OR STALL. MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THESE RECALLS BUT SHOULD BE.

VANOS BOLTS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE STALL, COOLANT FUEL PUMP

'TAKATA RECALL' WHEN THE HEAT OR AC IS ON AIR FROM VENT START TO BURN MY EYES. WHENEVER I'M IN MY VEHICLE I LEAVE OUT FEELING SLEEPY. CABIN FILTER HAS BEEN CHANGED AS WELL AS OTHERS PROBLEM CONTINUES. ALSO THE LEATHER ON THE DASH BOARD IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE VENT. PLASTIC WOOD TRIM CRACKS OVER TIME LEAVING THE VEHICLE LOOKING CHEAPLY BUILT

I WAS TOLD I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE NOX SENSOR AND SCR CATALYST. I HAVE ALSO BEEN PREOVUSLY TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE DIESEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND IT WOULD COST ME $6000 TO REPAIR. BECAUSE I HAVE 155K MILES ON THE CAR NOTHING FALLS UNDER WARRANTY. BMW IS ALSO UNSURE THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR IS REALLY THE PROBLEM SO IT WILL COST ME $1000 TO REPLACE THAT AND HOPE IT WORKS. THE ISSUE NOW IS MY CAR IS GIVING ME A MESSAGE "INCORRECT DIESEL FLUID" EVEN THOUGH THERE IS CORRECT FLUID IN (SINCE THE DEALER IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER PUT ANY IN THERE) AND IS AT THE FULL LEVEL. THE SENSOR IS NOW SAYING I ONLY HAVE 60 MILES TO DRIVE IT BEFORE IT WON'T START AGAIN. WHAT I AM MOST DISTURBED ABOUT IS THAT THERE IS INFORMATION THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND A RECALL NUMBER THEY WILL NOT HONOR IT AND WILL NOT FIX MY CAR. HTTP://WWW.AUTONEWS.COM/ARTICLE/20120504/RETAIL05/120509927/BMW-WILL-RECALL-DIESEL-MODELS-TO-FIX-EMISSIONS-GLITCH I HAVE BEEN WITH BMW FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED QUITE A FEW. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I HAVE NOW HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR (A NISSAN) AND HAD TO TAKE AN UBER TO THE LOT TO PICK IT UP SINCE MY CAR MAY NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO THE LOT AND BACK.

TAKATA RECALL: RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. ERROR MESSAGE SAYS FAULT IN PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM AFFECTING THE THE AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER OR BELT FORCE LIMITER. HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AFTER THE RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND DRIVE SHAFT WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS EVEN THIUGHNIT WAS ADVISED THAT PASSAENGER MIGHT BE AFFECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT FOR THIS PARTICULAR VIN PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT AFFECTED. IF NOT THEN WHY AM I NOT GETTING THIS ERROR MESSAGE?? I FEEL HIGHLY UNSAFE TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN AS PASSENGER IN THE CAR NOW. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THAT REPAIRS DO NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL PURVIEW AND THEREFORE WILL REQUIRE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ACTUALLY MAY BE THE ISSUE AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE CAUSE TO FURTHER RECTIFY WHAT EVER MAY THE CAUSE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH OR ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR THAT AFFECT ANY THING OF THIS SORT WITH CAR SO THIS IS HIGHLY DOSAPPOJNTING!!!

ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT REDUCED POWER TO ENGINE IN THE CITY WHILE AT LIGHT. ALSO YOU CAN HEAR A FLAPPING SOUND COMING FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE. DEALER REPORTS AFTER DIAGNOSTIC THAT THE EXHAUST COOLER IS CRACKED. PREVIOUSLY THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR METERING VALVE LEAK WHICH WAS UNDER SCR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FRONT DRIVE SHAFT RECALL WITH BUSHING REPLACEMENT WITH WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE EMISSION SYSTEM IS CLOGGING UP DUE TO THE DIESEL EMISSIONS SET UP IN THE BMW DIESEL ENGINES. WHERE MOST CAR MANUFACTURERS EMISSION WARRENTIES ARE 80-85KMI BMW IS 70KMI. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BMW IS NOT DOING ANYTHING UNLESS YOUR WILLING TO PAY $$$$$$. THE #1 PROBLEM IS THE EGR COOLER.,CAUSING SOME PEOPLE TO INSTALL AFTERMARKET [ILLEGAL] KITS TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS.THE VEHICLE RUNS ALMOST NORMAL BUT IT SUFFERS IN FUEL ECONOMY.

MY WIFE'S BMW WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE UPON RETURNING FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE A SERVICE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED. THE CAR SELF COMBUSTED DESTROYING THE BMW X5 , MY BMW 328 XI, OUR GARAGE AND PORTIONS OF OUR CONDO ADJACENT TO THE GARAGE.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I HAVE A 2011 BMW X5 XDRIVE35D AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED FOR THE THIRD TIME THAT WHEN I'M ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY WHEN I ACCELERATE TO GO A LITTLE FASTER MY TRANSMISSION GOES INTO A FAILURE MODE TO WHERE I HAVE NO GEARS, AND WHEN I GET THAT MESSAGE I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SAFELY THE ENGINE JUST REVS REALLY HIGH. I TRY TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY OR TO THE SIDE SO I HAVE TO COAST IT. PRETTY UNSAFE WHEN YOUR WITH FAMILY AND THE LOCAL HIGHWAY HAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND SEMI TRUCKS. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL WITH THE CAR ONLY HAVING 63K AND IT PUTS FAMILIES AND OR INDIVIDUALS AT HARMS WAY OR EVEN RESULTING A BAD COLLISION.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AT HOME AND RANDOMLY BURST INTO FLAMES AT APPROXIMATELY 2AM. FIRE CAUSED OVER $800,000 IN DAMAGE AND HOME TOOK WELL OVER A YEAR TO REPAIR. INSURANCE AND FIRE INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANYTHING IN THE GARAGE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CAR, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF FORMAL REPORT AND IT HAS BEEN OVER THREE YEARS.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT: I WAS ON THE ROAD WITH MY WIFE AND 1YEAR OLD SON WHEN A LOUD BANG SOUND ORIGINATED FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE LUCKILY WITHOUT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS AND LOOKED BENEATH IT TO FIND THE DRIVE SHAFT DANGLING BELOW. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN THIS MATTER BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO EARLIER MODELS BY A FEW MONTHS. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AT ALL WHEN THE CAR ONLY HAS 80K MILES?

THIS CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 40K MILES. WAS DRIVING LONG DISTANCE ON FREEWAY AND SLOWLY I NOTICE STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEEL WELL AREA FROM INSIDE THE CAR. I JACKED THE CAR UP AND DO A SPIN AND TURN OUT IT IS THE BEARING MAKING NOISE. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FAILS AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. WILL THIS AFFECT THE DRIVESHAFT OR ANYTHING SAFETY OF THE CAR AT HIGH SPEED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF BMW HAS A RECALL FOR THIS. THANKS
