TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BMW 750LI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE COMFORT ACCESS AND SOFT CLOSE AUTOMATIC DOORS; HOWEVER, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DID NOT LATCH UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN THE CAR JERKED AS IF IT WAS BEING HIT FROM THE REAR.. FOLLOWING THE LIGHT CHANGE, I GOT A HESITANT PULL OFF AND KNOCKING OR THE CAR SEEMED TO SKIP OR AS IF GEAR WAS SLIPPING. *TR 2ND TIME CAR WAS PUT IN D AND JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND HEARD A LOUD THUD AS IF CAR WAS BEING REAR ENDED. 3RD TIME I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO DOWNSHIFT WITH A LOUD BANGING NOISE.

WE WERE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE VEHICLE JUST WENT IN GEAR ON ITS OWN. I ALSO COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO GO IN GEAR. CAR STILL DOES NOT RUN RIGHT. TRANSMISSION ISN'T RIGHT, WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED IT JUST KICKS BACK IN NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIX NOR CAN THEY TELL ME ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO FIX OTHER THAT BUYING NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND ALL SERVICE WORK WAS DONE AT BMW OF SARASOTA. I HAVE ONLY PUT 4,050 MILES ON VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER AND I HAVE NOT HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE APRIL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX CAR. *TR

I HAD MY CAR TO THE HUNTERDON BMW DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR MY CAR REFUSING TO LEAVE NEUTRAL. THEIR FACTORY BMW ENGINEERS CHECKED THE CAR TWICE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, THE MECHANICS COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST KEPT REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTERS TILL IT RAN. I FINALLY GAVE UP SINCE BMW REFUSED TO HELP ME. I TRADED THE CAR IN ON 4/1/13 BECAUSE I FEARED IT WOULD STOP RUNNING AGAIN, AND BOUGHT A CADILLAC. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS I RECEIVED PEANUTS FOR MY CAR BECAUSE OF IT HISTORY, NO DEALERS WANTED IT, THEY KNEW IT WAS A LEMON. SO BMW SOLD ME A LEMON AND I ENDED UP WITH A WORTHLESS CAR, AND A YEAR LATER THEY ADMIT IT WAS A PROBLEM. THEY KNEW ALL ALONG BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM, AND IGNORED IT. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON WEB PAGES COMPLAINING, AND ALL OF THEM WERE IGNORED BY BMW. *TR

OCT 19TH 2012, 2006 BMW 750LI. (AUTOMATIC PARK FEATURE CAUSES VEHICLE TO ALMOST RUN OVER MY DAUGHTER ON ITS OWN) I STOPPED THE CAR ON MY DRIVEWAY AND OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PUSHED THE P PARK BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER (OPENING DOOR WHILE CAR IS STOPPED CAUSES THIS MODEL TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO "P" PARK) I PROCEEDED TO EXIT CAR TO KEY IN MY GARAGE CODE ON THE KEYPAD MOUNTED BY THE DOOR ABOUT 8 FEET AWAY. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR WITH AUTOMATIC PARK FEATURE SO JUST IN CASE I ALWAYS MANUALLY PUSH THE "P" PARK BUTTON AS A REDUNDANT HABIT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I PHYSICALLY SAW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM D DRIVE TO P PARK AND LIGHT UP BEFORE EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND IN PARK!, WHEN OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, BEFORE THE GARAGE DOOR COULD OPEN I NOTICED THE CAR FOLLOWING ME. IT MOVED ABOUT 8 FEET AND BARELY MISSED MY 4 YEAR OLD THAT WAS ON HER BICYCLE ABOUT 5 FEET AWAY. IT SLAMMED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR AT AROUND 2-5MPH BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON ITS OWN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, THERE WAS LITTLE GEAR LIGHT ON THE DASH AND A TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODE" APPEARED AND IT HAD SHIFTED TO N NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. NOW WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT IN D DRIVE IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS. APPARENTLY, IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL ALL BY ITSELF AND INERTIAL PLOWED INTO THE DOOR. IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME HOW IT WENT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL UNTIL I READ YOUR ARTICLE REGARDING AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I FURTHER FOUND THROUGH THE BMW FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING MANY CARS IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL RANGE. I EVEN NOTICED THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. *TR

ROLLAWAY: CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2008 7 SERIES EQUIPPED WITH THE COMFORT ACCESS OPTION AND MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 23, 2004 THROUGH JULY 24, 2008 HAVE AN ELECTRONIC KEY AND AN ELECTRONIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE TRANSMISSION (SHIFT-BY-WIRE) THAT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE START/STOP BUTTON TO SHUTDOWN THE ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON IS PRESSED 2 OR 3 TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TIME INTERVAL, THE SYSTEM MAY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL RATHER THAN PARK. IF USING THE ELECTRONIC KEY (COMFORT ACCESS MODE), THERE WOULD BE NO PROTECTION FROM THE IGNITION INTERLOCK THAT PREVENTS KEY REMOVAL IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK.

IT STILL DOES THIS AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DON'T SEEM TO BE TO CONCERNED BUT I AM. THE CAR ALSO REVS UP VERY FAST SOMETIMES WITHOUT ME TRYING TO WHEN I ACCELERATE I HAVE TO APPLY BREAKS TO STOP IT VERY SCARY. *TR

2 SEPARATE ISSUES 1ST, THE VEHICLE WHEN IN PARK CANNOT SWITCH TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT WILL ONLY SWITCH TO NEUTRAL. HAPPEN ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO RUSSELL BMW WHO TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. RECALL 93562 IS NOW POSTED ON BMW WEBSITE DETAILING THE SAME ISSUE. SPOKE TO A REP WHO DISMISSED MY VEHICLE COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE VIN # DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE LUXURY PACKAGE THEREFORE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. 2ND ISSUE..THE VEHICLE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED DOES NOT STOP. TWICE IT'S HAPPEN WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW OR STOP RESULTING IN SCARING ME HALF TO DEATH AND NEAR ACCIDENTS. I ALSO ADDRESS THE RECALL 87903 WITH THE REP WHO ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THE VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE YEAR AND MODEL IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL THE QUESTION I POSE IS WHY IS THE VIN DETERMINING THE QUALIFICATION OF THE NEED TO HAVE BMW RESPONSIBLY FIX THE 1ST YEAR MODEL OF THEIR TRIAL AND ERROR VEHICLES. I PAID WAY TOO MUCH TO BE TOLD THAT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE COMFORT PACKAGE MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR RECALL? IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT FOR BMW TO BE FIX THE NECESSARY PROBLEMS? *TR

ON DATE IN QUESTION MY GIRLFRIEND SAT DOWN ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A RED LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH BOARD. I TOOK MY VEH TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T A WARRANTEE ISSUE AND IT WOULD COST ME APPROX $1500.00 ALSO I WAS TOLD MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK. I DECIDED NOT TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I IMMEDIATELY CALL THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER LETTER. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR THIS LETTER FROM BMW OF NORTH AMERICA. *TR

BEGAN GETTING LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. REMOVED TIRE TO CHECK FOR NAIL OR PUNCTURE, NOTICED INSIDE LIP OF RIM HAS SMALL CRACK. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO WITH ONE OF THE REAR RIMS THAT HAD 2 CRACKS AT EXACT OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE RIM. BASED ON INTERNET POSTINGS, THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT AND OF COURSE BMW CLAIMS THAT THEY NEVER HEAR OF THIS!! *TR

FROM 2011-PRESENT, MY BMW 750 LI HAS BEEN SERVICED 3-4 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHILE BMW STATES THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. ON ONE OCCASION, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS JUST PICKED FOLLOWING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, I HAD TO CALL BMW ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO PICK UP APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES LATER TO PICK UP THE CAR AGAIN. WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM BMW, I STOPPED AT A LOCAL STORE AND ATTEMPTED TO PARK. AFTER BACKING UP, THEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE (IN AN ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN MY CAR IN THE PARKING SPACE) MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED AGAIN. I DID EVEN MAKE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE CAR NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AGAIN. TODAY, IS AUGUST 23, 2012, AND MY CAR IS AGAIN AT BMW BEING SERVICED FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS CAR IS SO UNRELIABLE THAT I DON'T DRIVE IT MORE THAN AN HOUR FROM HOME NOR CAN I DEPEND ON IT BEING MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. MY CAR IS AT 64,446 MILES AND IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER TALKING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN YESTERDAY, HE STATED THAT HE IS NOT SURE WHY THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR, OTHER THAN FINDING A BATTERY FAULT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT BMW WOULD HAVE SUCH DIFFICULTY REPAIRING THEIR OWN VEHICLES. THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE AND UNSATISFACTORY WORK IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I OWN AN 2006 BMW 750LI, VIN#. [XXX], WITH ABOUT 34,428 MILES ON THE CARE. I AM GETTING A MESSAGE EVERY NOW AND THEN SINCE 2 DAYS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT MENTIONS THAT THE FLUID IS LOW AND PRESSURE LOSS IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. WHEN I DRIVE, I FEEL THAT IT IS GETTING HARDER TO TURN AT SHARP ANGELS. I NOW SEE THE FLUID LOSS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AFTER I SAW THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. I RESEARCHED ON THE WWW.BMWUSA.COM WEBSITE, AND I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON NEWER VEHICLE MODELS (MODEL YEAR 2012-13 BMW X5 SAV AND MODEL YEAR 2013 BMW X6 SAC), CAUSED BY THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING WHICH CAUSES THE WITH FLUID AND HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LOSS UNDER THE CAMPAIGN # 12V-267: STEERING GEAR WHICH DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM AS BELOW ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NOTICE. "DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE STEERING GEAR. DUE TO A MACHINE PROCESS ERROR AT THE SUPPLIER, A SNAP RING IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING CAN LOOSEN DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. THIS WOULD LEAD TO LEAKAGE OF POWER STEERING FLUID FLOWING INTO THE RUBBER BOOT OF THE STEERING GEAR, CAUSING A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. STEERING FUNCTION WILL BE MAINTAINED; HOWEVER, THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. IN SOME CASES, POWER STEERING FLUID CAN SPRAY ONTO HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS. THEREFORE, AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE MAY OCCUR. " I LATER CALLED BACK THE LOCAL DEALER UNITED BMW IN ROSWELL, GA TO REPORT ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE SERVICE REP SAID, MY VIN# DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THIS RECALL AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO CALL BMWUSA OR NHTSA TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. HENCE I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE NHTSA. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE AND IF I CAN GET THE ISSUE FIXED UND ER THE RECALL NOTICE # 12V-267: STEERING GEAR. LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ADVICE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE MECHANIC FOUND CONTAMINATION IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V446000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM) THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CHANGED THE VALVES & THEN TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC CAUSE THE BREAKS WEREN'T WORKING WHICH I DID PAID $149 PLUS TAX. AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. PER THE RECALL, THE BRAKE BOOSTER COULD BECOME CONTAMINATED OVER TIME DUE TO THE RECALLED FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE ADVISED ME THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN #13V564000; CALLED BMW TO FIND WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER AS MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED.
