Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
In december 2017 recall was issued regarding engine component known as positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater. Called my local bmw of peabody ma and I was told that the components will be available on late january 2018 and I will informed by mail. Car smoking on and off I made sure they have my name and address. As of september 2018, there's no contact lack of service and concerns
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 bmw 528xi. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v683000 (engine and engine cooling) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair for months. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power and smoke appeared under the hood into the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle stalled and was towed. Two dealers were contacted: (bmw of charlottesville, 1295 richmond rd, charlottesville, va 22911, (434) 270-8664) and (bmw of sterling, 21710 auto world cir, sterling, va 20166, (571) 434-1944). The manufacturer was contacted to determine when the remedy and part would be supplied to the dealer but the manufacturer was unable to confirm when the parts were to become available. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
My car is shutting off while doing 55 MPH on the highway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 bmw 528xi. While driving approximately 10-20 MPH, the transmission failed. When the contact tried to accelerate, the vehicle would not move. As a result, the check engine light illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000.
I received a message that the right brake light and signal light were malfunctioning. Dealer wants to charge inflated price of $550 to correct on a 4 year old car with only 32000, when I researched on the internet this seems to be a constant issue with 2008 and 2009 5 series bmws. 100s if not more of this problem are on internet and the complaints along with the cost bmw is charging to fix.
