2006 BMW 7 Series Complaint Log

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLIES OPEN IN TRAFFIC. CAR WAS MOVING ON A CITY STREET WHILE TURNING.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH I SPOKE WITH DEALER HE WANTED ME TO SPEND$195 BEFORE HE WORKED ON MY CAR I EXPLAIN AFTER REACHING THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL ON ONE OF THE SENSOR S. STILL REFUSE TO REPAIR WITHOUT ME SPENDING $195.

I HAVE NOTICED OTHER BMW OF SAME YEAR DIFFERENT VINS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE OPENING WHEN DRIVING AND WILL NOT CLOSE, I ENTER MY VIN AND IT SAID NO RECALLS BUT I AM HAVING SAME ISSUES EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING WITH THEIR BMW, I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD GOING AROUND CURVE AND MY DRIVER DOOR CAME OPEN, I ALMOST FELT OUT, TRIED TO CLOSE DOOR BACK BUT DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, HAD TO DRIVE TO MY JOB HOLDING DOOR WITH ONE HAND TO KEEP FROM FALLING OUT, CALLED BMW RECALL TEAM AND THEY SAID ITS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BUT IT IS A KNOW FACTOR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND COMING DOWN THE RAMP WHERE I SLOWED DOWN TO GO AROUND RAMP AND WHEN I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF RAMP I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PICK UP SPEED AND I HEARD A WHISTLING NOISE AND THAT'S WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ON ITS ON AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND, WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR A RECALL REPAIR AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

A WARNING MESSAGE IS INFORMING ME THAT THE (FAULT IN PASS-RESTRAINT SYSTEM AFFECTING AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER OR BELT FORCE LIMITER) NEEDS TO BE CHECK.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING A STOP, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ON THE DASH INDICATED THE GEAR IS NOW "N", THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT TURN TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR, TURNING IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. IF THIS FAULT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY, IT CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND GEAR SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL. FROM READING BMW FORUMS, THEY SAY POSSIBLE CAUSES COULD BE THE INTEGRATED SUPPLY MODULE, TRANSMISSION FAULT, ELECTRICAL ISSUE, OR THE SMG SENSOR. PLEASE READ SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE. AT THE LINKS BELOW. HTTP://WWW.BIMMERFORUMS.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?1618729-CAR-WENT-INTO-NEUTRAL-ON-IT-S-OWN-WHILE-DRIVING-THEN-DIED! *TR

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE SLIPPING AND THEN A VIOLENT KICK FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR COMES RIGHT AFTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE DEALER (JMC BMW AUTO, 310-654-4067) REPLACED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH. MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V328000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION FAULT. DRIVE MODERATELY. CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD WHEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE. GEAR WON'T ENGAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750 LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DEFAULT WARNING SUDDENLY DISPLAYED BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,420.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED MORE THAN TWICE. THE GEARS WERE SLOW TO CHANGE OVER TO SHIFT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PICK UP SPEED DURING ACCELERATION, AND A WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAULT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND PLACED INTO GEAR, THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR REMAINED AJAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BMW OF SOUTH ATLANTA (LOCATED AT 4171 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA 30291 (770) 969-0755) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V328000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP BOOSTER HAS FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION EVEN AFTER BRAKE BOOSTER SUPPLY LINE WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER, 4, 2010. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE CAR LOSES POWER TO BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL FEELS HARD AND VEHICLE TAKES 20-30 FT LONGER TO BRAKE EVEN IF PUSHING DOWN WITH MAXIMUM FORCE. THIS CAUSED VEHICLE TO TAKE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP, WHICH RESULTED IN CAR NEARLY RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN ISSUE OCCURRED. LUCKILY I SWERVED OFF HIGHWAY UNTO MEDIAN. THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AS BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP IS AFFECTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT BRAKE POWER IS 50% LESS THAN NORMAL, LOW TO NEGLIGIBLE BRAKE POWER MEANS CAR DOES NOT STOP NORMALLY, IT TAKES MORE TIME TO STOP, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH FROM REAR END COLLISIONS, FREAK ACCIDENTS AND EVEN RUNNING INTO PERSONS OR OBJECTS WHEN PARKING.

GOT IN CAR THIS MORNING AND CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.

PRE-OWNED VEHICLE -TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH IS NOT MECHANICAL...VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE FROM PARK. LOCAL BMW DEALER SAYS NEW TRANSMISSION IS NEEDED. RESEARCH INDICATES IT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS (SOLENOID) WHICH SENDS SHIFT SIGNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION. BMW WILL NOT SAY THIS IS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH ITS PRODUCT AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON ANY ROADWAY AT 40-55 MPH, A SERIES OF FAULT CODES ARE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD [TRANSMISSION FAULT-DRIVE MODERATELY], AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. EFFORTS TO PROVE THAT THIS IS NOT OWNER/CONSUMER RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE INTERNAL NATURE OF THE FAULT(S) ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THE BMW DEALER/COMPANY. THE COST OF COMPANY STATED REPAIRS ($3500-$8000) ARE BEYOND WHAT THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE IS AND FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE VEHICLE.

I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK IT. IT'S THE YEAR 2016 AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR 10 YEARS AND THAT THEY WOULDNT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WONT REPAIR IT. AND ITS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE AIRBAG IS A VERY SERIOUS RECALL. WAS JUST HOPING THAT I COULD GET SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I DONT FEEL AS IF I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON SUCH A SERIOUS DEFECT. AND IT WAS A RECALL FOR A REASON

AS A CONSUMER AND ALSO READING ABOUT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS, THE OEM PART WHICH BMW IS CHARGING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $6,000. THE PARTS ARE ONLY FOR THE 2006 760I AND THEY SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE. SOME CONSUMERS WERE LUCKY TO HAVE IT GO OUT DURING THEIR WARRANTY BUT SOME HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF EXPENSE AFTER WARDS. IF THIS PART SEEMS TO GO OUT ON A LOT OF 760I MODELS IN BMW THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OUT THEIR TO FIX THEM. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THERE WAS A FEW BUT THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 JUST ON THE FORUM THAT I NORMALLY GO TO FOR ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC AND BMW NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS ONLY ON ONE MODEL AND THAT THE COST OF THIS IS OVERWHELMING.
