2007 BMW X5 Fuel System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW X5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V746000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOGERMANA BMW (LOCATED AT 106 CALLE ACUARELA, GUAYNABO, PR 00969), BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BMW IS DELAYING THE REPAIR FOR THE RECALL ITEMS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A MONTH NOW AND IS CONSTANTLY BEING TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE EVEN FOR THE 2013 RECALL ITEM. THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING IS AUTONATION BMW OF MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA. THEIR NUMBER IS 650-943-1000. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL LATER BACK IN DECEMBER 2016. CONTACTED STEVENS CREEK BMW IN SAN JOSE, CA MULTIPLE TIMES BUT ONLY RECEIVED VOICEMAIL SERVICE. LET NUMEROUS VOICE MESSAGE TO CALL BACK, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK ONCE. EVER SINCE, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL. PRIVATE GARAGE HAS TOLD ME THE IN-TANK FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP. RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-746.

BMW HAS TO FIX THIS PRIORITY 3 RECALL, 2 ARE THE FRONT AIRBAGS,(INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER PASSENGERS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH) BEFORE SOME REALLY BAD CAN HAPPEN. 1 IS THE FUEL TANK LEAKS CAN CAUSE FIRE ANOTHER REAL BAD OPTION CAN HAPPEN. I HAVE MY BMW STALLING LAST WEEK WAS VERY BAD, THE CAR JUST STOP ON FREEWAY WITH NOT CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY SCARY AND ALSO MY AND MY FAMILY LIFE WAS IN DANGER. WHEN I GO TO BMW (KELLY BMW COLUMBUS) THEY IGNORE COMPLETELY THE RECALL AND THEY START TO CHARGE ME 145 FOR STALLING WHEN SHOULD BE FREE AND SEE THE ATTACHMENT FOR WHAT THEY TRY TO CHARGE ME.I WILL LIKE TO GET THIS FIX SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ME OR MY FAMILY CAN RISK LIFE. THANK YOU *TR

RECENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SMELLING OF GASOLINE. THE CABIN FILLS UP WITH THE ODOR. THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS WHEN IT IS RUNNING OR SHORTLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE SMELL HAS GOT WORSE. I ONLY RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF A RECALL SPECIFYING SIMILAR ISSUES. I WANTED TO MAKE RECORD OF MY ISSUE AND COMPLAINT REGARDING MY VEHICLE.

CAR HAD 56000 MILES ON IT, AT 99500 MOTOR WENT, THEN AIR SPRINGS, PARKING BRAKE, TAKATA RECALL,WHEN THE TRANSMISSION, VACUUM PUMP, AND HOW THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. TODAY THE I DRIVE WENT OUT IN TOTAL MYSELF AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY HAVE SPEND OVER 24000. DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT PER BMW IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE, MORE LIKE JUNK!!! AND NO PARTS IN SIGHT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAGS OR THE FUEL PUMP. I THINK A CLASS ACTION SHOULD BE FILED. I'M 58 YEARS OLD NOT 18 I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS. THE CAR VALUE ON KELLY BLUE BOOK IS ONLY 12000. WE NEED HELP TO MAKE BMW STAND BEHIND WHERE QUALITY NOT THEIR HAND IN OUR BACK POCKETS, NO CAR THAT COST 77500.00 IN 2007 SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. A FORD OR CHEVY WOULD DO BETTER. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT BMW KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2010 X5 WITH THE 4.8 I ENGINE AND I DRIVE BUT NEVER MADE IT GOOD, JUST ASK ANYONE THAT OWNED ONE. MY LAST ONE I THINK KIA WOULD HOLD UP BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE WAY THE CAR HAS 125200 NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, IT JUST QUITS WITH NO WARNING. *TR

IN TANK FUEL PUMP THAT CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND A OBVIOUS BURNT RUBBER SMELL TO PERMEATE INSIDE THE VEHICLE CABIN AFTER FUELING AND DRIVING THE CAR HOME AND PARKING IT IN THE GARAGE.
