2018 Bmw X5 Other Problems

Your water pump's electrical connector can get dripped on by small amounts of fluid from the crankcase ventilation system, which could cause an electrical short circuit and potentially lead to overheating or fire. BMW has issued a safety recall for this issue, but no fix is currently available. You should monitor this area and contact your dealer about the recall status and any interim protective measures.

You're noticing a burning oil smell after short drives and have had to add oil twice when the warning light appeared—your car has less than 122,000 miles. Your vehicle also idles longer than normal before you shift into gear. A technician mentioned you'll need new spark plugs soon.

While driving your 2018 BMW X5, you heard a loud thump followed by noises on the roof. When you stopped and checked your sunroof, you discovered it had completely shattered with a large hole, even though you hadn't hit anything or passed under an overpass. The glass could have fallen on you and your dog if the sunroof cover hadn't been closed, potentially causing an accident. BMW has ordered a replacement sunroof panel that will need to be installed at the dealership.

When the car is coming to a stop the drivers floor mat slides on top of the gas pedal. Also when driving, general movement of your foot on the mat causes it to slide forward freely with and restriction. The velcro that attaches to the mat falls off and the mat is free moving. It is a common concern among other BMW X5 owners in online forums. The dealership refuses to assist. Thank you

The dealer performed the EGR Cooler recall in Feb 2023, a month later and the part failed again. BMW should be required to issue a lifetime warranty on these defective parts that have now been recalled twice.

BMW X5 with Sunroof starts leaking water inside. BMW does not cover and when I called them the response was it is an outside factor that clogs the drainage pipe and it happens on all type of cars, so no action needed. BMW knows about something and they have not taken any action to prevent it, rather the answer is "it happens with all the cars, so it is okay to happen with BMW model too". I feel it is hazardous for 2 reasons: 1. While driving in rain it suddenly starts leaking which deters an immediate attention from the road. It was by the grace of god, no one was next to me on the road, otherwise an impulse movement would have resulted in the accident. 2. Now, since the carpet soaked the water, although after drying with vacuum, it has started smelling. May be mold is forming which can be hazardous too. BMW knows the issue but does nothing to prevent it from happening and then they gave me an estimate of about $1000 to fix the drainage issue and dry the carpet out. BMW sold me this car as a certified pre-owned and 10 months later I am having the issue of water leaking in the car for which I need to pay to get it fixed.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AFTER BEING SERVICED. 9,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. WHEN DRIVING OUT OF DRIVEWAY NOTICED GLASS NOISE FROM ABOVE. ROLLED BACK SUNSCREEN AND GLASS FELL DOWN INTO VEHICLE. ON FURTHER INSPECTION THE GLASS AROUND THE HOLE IS RAISED UPWARD AS IF COMPRESSED FROM THE OUTSIDE FRAME. IF DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS THE SAFETY GLASS FRAGMENTS WOULD HAVE INJURED OCCUPANTS. THIS APPEARS NOT TO BE AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND DEALERS DO NOT DISCLOSE THAT IT IS.
